Kim Kardashian<\/a> was recently spotted at the Monaco GP cheering on her latest boyfriend. Lewis Hamilton had Kardashian making her very first paddock appearance with the pair sharing some incredible PDA for the doting cameras all around.<\/p>\n

The racing driver even went on to thank Kardashian for supporting him during his race, all of which was brilliantly captured and reported by ESPN. Soon after, the network was called out by Tony Farmer for their coverage of Kardashian and her new beau, especially since they decided not to do the same for the whole Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini fiasco<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo ESPN is sending out push notifications for THIS but not even writing an article on several photo dumps involving NFL COTY and COTY voter (their former employee). \u201c\u00a0Tony Farmer said.<\/a><\/p>\n

Farmer is obviously referring to the fact that Dianna Russini was one of the voters who decided that Mike Vrabel would be given the \u2018Coach of the Year\u2019 award. Once their extramarital affair came to light, the authenticity of Russini\u2019s vote and Vrabel\u2019s eligibility for receiving the award, both have been doubted.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

ESPN choosing to cover Kim Kardashian<\/a>, while completely sweeping the Russini-Vrabel scandal under the rug, clearly speaks volumes about the network. Russini did work with ESPN before she left and joined The Athletic.<\/p>\n

Since the scandal came to light, a number of networks apart from ESPN have been called out for not covering the issue, even though updates about the situation were coming out on an almost daily basis. Many have speculated that this is simply because Russini is a former reporter, while others feel that the Pats have invested too much into making sure that their head coach and his former mistress are not covered by the news all the time.<\/p>\n

Kim Kardashian Called Out For Ignoring Martin Brundle At Monaco GP<\/p>\n

On another note, Kim Kardashian<\/a> faced some criticism for rudely avoiding any interaction with Martin Bundle at the recent Monaco GP. A viral clip shows Brundle directly addressing the socialite and asking her how her day is going. In return, Kardashian completely avoids eye contact with the racing legend and goes about her way.<\/p>\n

Since the encounter, Kardashian has been trolled heavily on social media for ignoring a racing icon like Brundle and behaving rudely in public. Of course, this is nothing new for Kim K, who has been infamously known for her entitled behavior.<\/p>\n
