Pity poor Kim Kardashian. It\u2019s rare that the reality star, entrepreneur and self-made billionaire looks out of place \u2013 the woman has been the face (and body) of aspiration for so long, and has crossed over so many previously unbreachable social and class divides, I\u2019d assumed it was nigh-on impossible to make her feel uncomfortable. But if her inaugural, faltering steps into the world of F1<\/a> have shown us anything, it\u2019s that she is as susceptible as the rest of us to making a snafu when not on home turf.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a little surprising, I\u2019ll admit. This is the person who managed to both \u201cbreak the internet\u201d with a picture of her bottom<\/a> and appear on the cover of Vogue more than 10 times; a person who seems just as at home arguing for criminal justice reform at the White House<\/a> as she does flogging faux-pube micro thongs<\/a> as part of her underwear brand Skims\u2019 hard launch. <\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s down to a lifetime of Botox or simply an implacable demeanour, she didn\u2019t display the merest hint of discomfiture that time she was practically sewn into Marilyn Monroe\u2019s iconic, crystal-encrusted gown<\/a> for the Met Gala. Embarrassment slips off her so easily; it\u2019s like the woman\u2019s been dipped in Teflon.<\/p>\n

Yet Kardashian\u2019s appearance at the Grand Prix in Monaco this weekend to support new boyfriend Lewis Hamilton<\/a> proved that no amount of money, fame or confidence can totally inoculate you against the challenge \u2013 and scrutiny \u2013 that comes with entering into a partner\u2019s world. <\/p>\n

With her look-at-me LA aesthetic and unmistakable Jessica Rabbit-esque silhouette, Kardashian was always going to draw attention in her first outing as a racing WAG. Appearing distinctly anachronistic amid the understated \u201cquiet luxury\u201d favoured by sophisticated Monaco elites, she was quickly accused by some corners of the media of turning the Grand Prix into a red carpet event just by showing up.<\/p>\n

When Hamilton celebrated winning second place with the standard \u201clet\u2019s waste some very expensive champagne by spraying it over the crowd\/my girlfriend\u201d move, Kardashian was filmed<\/a> quickly scuttling deeper into the crowd to escape, accompanied by her entourage, who tried \u2013 unsuccessfully \u2013 to protect her bespoke Gucci gown with an umbrella. Maybe Hamilton hadn\u2019t prepared her for such an eventuality, or maybe she\u2019d thought he was joking, displaying the classic British \u201cbanter\u201d we\u2019re famed for; either way, the phrase \u201cfish out of water\u201d springs to mind.<\/p>\n

But worse still was the moment Kim and her sister Khloe, also in attendance, committed the most unforgivable of F1 cardinal sins: they snubbed legendary British reporter and former driver Martin Brundle<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Brundle, who reports for Sky Sports, is beloved for his pre-race \u201cwalkabouts\u201d, which see him stroll the grid looking for celebrities to briefly interview live on air. It\u2019s become something of an institution in the sport, and most A-listers are game, no matter their level of fame or distinction: Wicked star Cynthia Erivo, Prince Salman of Bahrain and Jumanji actor Karen Gillan all obliged on Sunday, for example. <\/p>\n

In an excruciating clip, he approached the Kardashian sisters on the grid with his usual chipper demeanour, asking if they were enjoying F1, only to be utterly ignored. At one point, one of their minders even appeared to manhandle Brundle \u2013 \u201cYou don\u2019t need to push me, mate,\u201d he can be heard saying \u2013 before the presenter admitted defeat. \u201cSo, Kim and Khloe \u2013 we won\u2019t be talking to them today\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

The wrath from F1 fans was swift and savage on social media; Kardashian was branded \u201crude\u201d and \u201carrogant\u201d, and accused of displaying a \u201ccomplete lack of class\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has no place in our world,\u201d wrote one disgruntled viewer.<\/p>\n

In a separate viral clip, presenter Holly Willoughby and comedian Michael McIntyre were literally swept out of the way by the Kardashian entourage while mid-interview.<\/p>\n

Part of the issue could well be that Kim is used to setting trends rather than following them. The world bends around her and her family, not the other way around: that\u2019s what it means to be the OG influencer dynasty. But as everyone who\u2019s ever embarked upon a new relationship knows, on your other half\u2019s turf, you have to play by your other half\u2019s rules.<\/p>\n

Yes, the stakes may not be quite so high (nor the audience quite so hostile), but it\u2019s essentially the equivalent of meeting your partner\u2019s football mates for the first time and accepting that, in those circles, you\u2019re referred to as \u201cthe missus\u201d \u2013 without launching into a feminist diatribe about the inherent sexism of certain female monikers<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Sometimes you just have to put up with going back to their family home, watching three hours of mind-numbing daytime quiz shows and letting their mum show you 3,000 baby pictures, all while smiling so enthusiastically your jaw hurts. Or coming up with a horrible fake laugh so that you can guffaw at their boss\u2019s criminally awful jokes when you\u2019re a plus one at the work Christmas do. <\/p>\n

Their turf, their rules.<\/p>\n

Of course, you don\u2019t need to become an entirely different person to fit in \u2013 but it\u2019s wise to learn to adapt, compromise and accommodate if we want our life and that of our beloved to be able to successfully overlap in the long term. And that works both ways. <\/p>\n

If Kim doesn\u2019t learn that lesson \u2013 and fast \u2013 her first time on the grid could well be her last.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pity poor Kim Kardashian.
