Kim Kardashian defended after making awkward ‘snub’ on photodump with boyfriend Lewis Hamilton
Kim Kardashian did what so many of us do, and shared a sweet series of photos from her latest trip with her love, Lewis Hamilton.
However, instead of admiring the pics, critics were quick to jump and accuse the businesswoman of 'snubbing' the F1 icon with her choice of holiday photos.
In one, the loved-up couple post for a stylish mirror selfie, before Kardashian shared a gorgeous golden hour pic of her on a swing, with the pic taken from behind.
Eagle-eyed fans of Hamilton's soon spotted a difference between what she posted on Instagram and the version of the picture Hamilton opted for.

The racing driver picked a version of the photo where he featured in the foreground, with his back turned to the camera, while Kim is still on the swing in the background.
His fans took offence at the fact Kardashian chose to post the version of the pic that it seems Hamilton took, as he doesn't appear in it.
One fumed: "I can't stand it anymore with her cropping him out of the photo," along with a side-by-side comparison of the holiday pics.
Fans soon defended Kardashian: "It’s not the same photo. Are you blind?" one hit out.
"Definitely different photo because if you cropped him you still wouldn't see the canoe..so I think it's more of he took the photo," suggested another.
Someone else argued: "Oh my god what about maybe he’s the one taking the photo? Like no reason for her to crop him out at this point….."
Another simply said: "Different photo."
It's not the first time that Kardashian has found herself in hot water with Hamilton's fans.
The star accidentally caused upset when she turned up to support Hamilton at the Grand Prix in Monaco.
She inadvertently broke an unwritten rule that says everyone stops to give an interview to presenter Martin Brundle.
The legendary Sky Sports F1 broadcaster and former racing driver often approaches people for a chat, with organisers introducing a 'Brundle clause' on grid walks back in 2021.
This meant celebs must give the commentator a moment of their time.
Kardashian clearly didn't know about this though, as when Brundle approached her, asking 'How are you today?', Kim briefly looked at him before turning to her sister, Khloé.
Brundle was then heard telling someone else, off-camera: "You don’t need to push me, mate."
Undeterred, he tried again: "Normally, people will have a quick chat with us, are you enjoying F1?"
After Kim and Khloé ignored him again, Brundle told the viewers at home: "Okay, Kim and Khloe, so we’re not talking today. I like to believe they might do..."
Despite her mishap, Kardashian and Hamilton's relationship has gone from strength to strength, with many fans thinking she's a good luck charm for him.
