Kim Kardashian has become embroiled in controversy following the Monaco Grand Prix, which took place on Sunday, June 8, 2026. A video capturing Kardashian appearing to take the winner's towel, designated for victor Kimi Antonelli, has circulated widely online, sparking accusations of 'towel theft'. Antonelli had achieved his fifth consecutive win, extending his championship lead.
The incident occurred just before the podium ceremony. The towels are special limited-edition items provided to the top three drivers. This controversy adds to another that Kardashian faced earlier in the weekend when she reportedly ignored Sky Sports reporter Martin Brundle during his customary grid walk interviews. Brundle, known for his pre-race interactions, expressed disappointment after Kardashian and her sister Khloé walked away without engaging.
Despite the off-track drama, Lewis Hamilton achieved a second-place finish in the race. In a post-race interview and press conference, Hamilton expressed his gratitude for Kardashian's presence and support throughout the weekend, highlighting her positive influence.
