Kim Kardashian attracted a lot of attention when she went to the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monaco to support Lewis Hamilton.
Not only did some not approve of her 'jeans and a nice top' combo, when many others favour high glamour, she also caused offence by seemingly snubbing Sky Sports F1 commentator Martin Brundle.
He's famous for his grid walk chats, and she broke the unwritten rule that you always stop to say hello to him.
Not only that, but she's accused of causing Holly Willoughby and Michael McIntyre to 'get shoved out of the way' by the press due to her presence.

If that wasn't enough, to add insult to injury, the winner of the race is trolling Kardashian on his social media.
Monaco Grand prix winner Kimi Antonelli has shared a video poking fun at the reality star.
Antonelli said: "I was wondering, have you seen my towel?”
The camera then turns to his teammate George Russell, where he asks him“George, have you seen Kimi’s towel?”
Russell replied, “No," before Antonelli, 19, was seen washing his hands as he asked again, “Hey, have you seen my towel?”
Fans were delighted by the jibe: "Give the Social media person a raise,” joked one.
“Keeping up with Kimi?,” quipped another.
“Towel gate,” joked a third person while one commenter declared: “This is a masterpiece."
It come after Kardashian was caught on camera walking past the first-place podium and picking up a white towel that had reportedly been left out for the winner.
She then lowered her sunglasses and wiped her face with the towel.
Fortunately Antonelli has seen the funny side of it all.
Her boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton, ended up finishing in second place following a chaotic race.
He was spotted blowing a kiss to Kardashian, and also thanked her publicly for her support.
Following the podium, Sky Sports says he told the press: "It's amazing to have her come this weekend and have the support
"But, you know, with my friends, incredible turnout, just overall, the people. It's amazing to have good people around you and good people supporting you and she does that for me every day," he praised.
Fans are still fuming over her apparent Martin Brundle snub.
The host tried his best to get her to chat, asking: "Normally, people will have a quick chat with us. Are you enjoying F1?"
He told viewers: "Okay, Kim and Khloé, so we’re not talking today. I like to believe they might do..."
A security guard then stepped between, causing Brundle to respond: "You don’t need to push me, mate."
