Karl Lagerfeld really, really dislikes Heidi Klum. Lagerfeld, the head designer of Chanel, had already belittled Heidi and other models who dared to be above a size zero back in February. At the time, Karl tried to act like Heidi was so distasteful to him, he could just dismiss with the comment “We don’t know her in Paris.” Heidi was very classy about the whole thing, probably because she’s gorgeous, has a great career, and seems to be a very, happy, well-adjusted woman.
But Karl still has a hate-on for Heidi, and he’s still mouthing off about her… and now he’s even bringing the hate to Heidi’s lovely husband, Seal. Karl repeated his claim that Heidi was “never in Paris” – which, let me explain, is some of kind of burn in the fashion world. Saying someone has “was never in Paris” is the schoolyard equivalent of “yo’ mama so fat…” Then Karl went onto to mock Seal’s skin, saying “I am no dermatologist but I wouldn’t want his skin. Mine looks better than his. He is covered in craters.” Seal was diagnosed with discoid lupus erythematosus when he was a teenager. And Karl is ugly, inside and out:
HEIDI KLUM has been on the receiving end of another bitter attack from designer KARL LAGERFELD.
In February German-born Karl was blasted after saying Heidi was ‘too heavy’ to be a catwalk model.
Now he’s claimed no-one in the fashion industry knows who she is.
The French-based fashionista said: “I don’t know her. Claudia SCHIFFER doesn’t know her.
“She was never in Paris, we don’t know her.”
He also had it in for the pregnant beauty’s husband Seal – taking an evil swipe at the singer’s skin condition.
Karl added: “I am no dermatologist but I wouldn’t want his skin.”
“Mine looks better than his. He is covered in craters.”

I wonder what Heidi will do? She’s as classy as they come when someone is criticizing her, but she might feel differently if some jerk is picking on her husband. I suspect that Heidi knows how to throw down. Karl should watch his back, because I suspect Heidi will be “in Paris” very, very soon. With a knife.
So, what’s next for Karl Lagerfeld after he mocks someone who had lupus as a kid? My guess is that Karl will go back to what he normally does for fun, kicking puppies.

The years of malnutrition must have damaged his brain and made him a bitter old sourpuss.
What an envious, venomous old toad he is.
And I don’t even really like Heidi!
what an a$$hat. those gloves are stupid.
karl tries hard to hide his ugly on the inside, but it leaks out anyway…
Is Lagerfeld the only person in the industry who doesn’t know about Seal’s Lupus? I knew about that when I was 10, stupid ass
Lagerfeld is a stupid asshole. No need to go in Paris to know that
What a tosser! Seal and Heidi both look better than him.
Oh common: Nobody likes heidi in germany. it’s good she’s living in the us. please heidi stay there
LOL on a very funny post Kaiser. As for Karl Lagerfeld, I agree with all the comments.
“…I suspect Heidi will be “in Paris” very, very soon. With a knife.”
Do you really think she cares that much?
There is more to life than fashion and Paris and she knows it.
She is rich, gorgeous, generally well liked, she has a great family and they seem really happy together.
Lagerfeld’s comments are ridiculous and petty and so is he. For God’s sake, the man carries around a teddybear version of himself!
Wonder who will remember Karl Lagerfeld when he’s dead n gone.
He secretly wants Seal. Just admit it you old queen.
Mia: And why is it that “nobody likes heidi in Germany”? I’m curious.
And. How masculine of Lagerfeld to make those observations? What a man!
gay,weird and mean karl.get a life and stop mocking people as if u’r the most perfect person on earth…
Lord knows, if it wasn’t Heidi and Seal, it’d be someone else this old bat would send hate messages to.
he must have fried his brain with some substance along the journey of existence. how else could he be so blatantly bitter toward the human race?
I am TEAM KARL all the way. I can’t stand Heidi. She has no fashion sense at all and would it kill her to take a brush to her hair every once in awhile??!
Sounds like this poorly aging old fool is desperately jealous that she and Seal have found a kind of happiness he has never known.
Jealousy is so unattractive. And like someone else posted above, I don’t even particularly like Heidi or Seal.
@oenix,
I’m German and I can’t stand her either. I guess it’s over-exposure.Her show, Germany’s Next Topmodel, is in the 100th season (I don’t know) and it’s beyond me why people watch this sh-t. Heidi also promotes about a million of products here and, generally, I find her annoying as all hell. I saw her on some US-American talkshow once and when she started to yodel, that was it. She’s EMBARASSING.
and while lagerfeld’s last comment was pretty mean, he’s right that Heidi never was a high fashion model.
Damn right!!
Wtf??!!I m French and Heidi and Seal are known and loved in here .I agree that KL outburst is like a kingergarten one:” my dad is stronger than yours …”bla blabla .
I guess he needed the publicity .Have you ever seen such a lovely couple?He is jealous that’s it .
He has to grow up …or , in his case , to grow old and shut up !!!!
Are you kidding?! I would never make fun of someone who suffered from a serious illness. Despite what you may feel about Heidi there is no excuse for targeting her husband who has nothing to do with fashion. It has been Heidi’s choice to pursue a career based solely on looks; however, you don’t have to be good looking to have an awesome voice. I personally find Seal to be very attractive and don’t mind his scars.
Seal is hot and Lagerfeld looks like Bea Arthur in shades. I’d hate to see what a train wreck that old queen looks like without his girdle on.
@ barneslr Yes. Perfect comment.
Good lord, that rotten bitchy old queen needs to get back into his crypt and shut the coffin lid for good.
Like Heidi and Seal give a sh1t what that freak thinks.
Can any one please include a link/photo of Karl BEFORE he lost the 100 lbs?
I don’t mind his comments about Heidi, because I too think she is overrated, can’t stand her. However I love Seal to bits and Karl’s comments about his scars are insensitive and mean to say the least. I don’t care if he didn’t know it was caused by lupus, which by the way I just learnt.
No need to mock Karl for his homosexuality, just for his comments, please. And to call him a pedophile is just wrong. What is fashion but a giant bitchfest? I happen to think his comments about Heidi not being “known” in Paris are hilarious. Also, the knife “joke” is no joke and doesn’t belong in the post at all.
Karl Lagerfield is a nasty, crusty, hideous old hag. One would think that at his AGE he would be grateful for all the success, money, fame and opulent lifestyle he has had and that he would have a sense of decency. You know, life experience begets wisdom and appreciation kind of stuff.
He is a bitter, vicious, fart-smelling piece of trash.
If he doesn’t know her, why does he have so much to say about her, and her family?
What a bitter old fool.
He’s a queen because he acts like a snooty old woman with a title…not because he likes men.
On that note, what man will even go out with him? That might explain his bitterness.
Maybe it’s just me but whenever I see a picture of Lagerfeld, I’m reminded of an old James Bond villain.
Karl sucks the big one.
Oh dear, is Heidi the German Tyra?
Heidi and Seal look like they have a lot of fun. Yodeling, that’s just a riot. Of course it’s embarrassing for you but she probably had a blast doing it. I’m sorry I missed that! As to this guys comments, what, just out of the blue. Hmm, who shall I rank out today from my solid gold bubble. Oh I know, the chick that married a black dude. And that right there, friends, is the root of his issues. What a jackass.
Bitchy dried up old prunes Karl Lagerfeld and Anna Wintour need to hook up assap! (while listening to Seal’s “kiss from a rose” on repeat)
Yawn. Just Karl being Karl. I like him as a designer and generallly find his self-absorbed shtick kind of funny but what an infantile low blow to remark on Seal’s skin. Not that Heidi and Seal could care less, I’m sure.
Not every remark deserves a response.
a cheap shot is not worth the price
nasty messages should be answered in person face to face or not at all
low profile. no crap
WTF is her t-shirt?
Heidi will continue to make bank, be happy and keep having children and ignore Karl’s criticism. As a top model, I’m sure she’s endure much more harsh & snide remarks than what his old arse can dish out.
Living well is the best revenge. Hopefully, she’ll just carry on and ignore him. She seems to be having a good time most of the time and he must not be, because he’s always carping.
What was the context? Did he just say this out of the blue or was he asked about Heidi? Just wondering. Who cares if she was in Paris. I think she addressed that last time. The remark about Seal was uncalled for.
karl who??
KL is being sooo mean. Mocking a person because of his illness is so OUT!
Heidi isn’t liked much in some part of Europe because she’s happy, outgoing, extroverted, loud, more like a Southern European. She’s loved in Italy and France tho 😉
@Oenix
Fat Karl Lagerfeld:
http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2009-01-02-lagerfeld.jpg
He’s even standing next to one of his size 0 models for comparison.
Karl is funny and bitchy, but the comment about Seal’s skin was completely unnecessary. It isn’t nice to make fun of someone for a physical deformity caused by an illness.
That said–Heidi was never in Paris! 🙂 Heehee. It’s true. Heidi is a commercial model and a big nobody in high fashion. Karl Lagerfeld is a genius in the fashion industry. He doesn’t like that she is famous for hosting a show like Project Runway and the German Tyra-style model show, because he figures, “B**ch, those designers will NEVER be the head of Chanel, and you never walked an important runway in your life, so what can you say about fasion?”
Whatever. Heidi is perfect for a mass audience. She is the Big Mac in a gourmet world. We know North Americans love their Big Macs and anything else they can order from a box and receive through a little window without ever leaving their cars…
If no one likes Heidi in Germany, why is she making so much money there? You don’t pay an unpopular star to promote everything, darling. That’s not efficient!
@ME! You summed it up PER-FECT-LY! Spot on!
Me! Agreed. I mean, would you want Karl Lagerfeld to be nice? That would be all kinds of wrong! Loved seeing him in his older days. He went from fat bitch to emaciated bitch.
just to be fair: I have watched the interview on tv & karls comments have been taken out of context.
actually he had really nice things to say about seal (being an amazing singer and such) then the host quoted seal saying that karl is an poor old man. karl then replied that he indeed is not that poor & besides being old is no dermatologist but wouldn’t want his skin. he also said that heidi is a pretty girl but not into high fashion, which as said here before is true!
omg. whatev. heidi doesn’t care. seal doesn’t care. and karl needs to go prepare his casket.
ah yes, and Karl’s face is like a baby’s bottom. I agree that fashion is bitchy, however he looks as though he borrows shirts from Don Cherry.
My mother has discoid lupus and has to have regular skin treatments to keep stuff like this from happening. If KL ever said anything to her, I’d kick his arse into the next millenium.
I actually think Seal is unique and attractive. And these two seem pretty happy together.
Me and Trillion, I agree one hundred percent. I also got a kick out of Lagerfeld dragging Claudia Schiffer into the feud, declaring that she, too, didn’t know who Heidi was. Maybe it’s a German thing since all three are German?
He certainly crossed the line in insulting Seal’s skin, but remember that beauty and fashion are skin-deep.
Lagerfeld, is such an idiot for acknowledging and b*tching about somebody’s “overratedness”. What he said was unnecessarily nasty, and damaged his reputation somewhat. I wouldn’t want to associate with him in any way, regardless of the big time opportunities and the knowledge he has of his trade.
His actions as well as others, give the self-image of the fashion industry a bad name. I hope he loves free pie in waves.
Cant stand Heidi, so the comments about her dont bother me in the least. The comments about Seal on the other hand are very ugly. KL, have you looked in the mirror lately? You are no butterfly yourself!
He’s just angry because he will never find love. Empty shell. Good for Heidi & Seal.
Lonely lonely angry man.
Karl is bitter that the world’s richest model did it without licking his ass. LOL. Heidi is one of the most well loved celebs, if Germany does not like her, the rest of us do.
No comment on whether she’s a successful supermodel or not, but what I know is that she’s ranked as Forbes’s 2nd highest paid model. So, I guess you don’t have to be “in Paris” to be rich.
Heidi’s best revenge is that she is happy, beautiful, famous and has a beautiful loving family. That old toad is a lonely bitter gay man who most likely will die alone.
Karl is clearly bat-shit crazy.
Here is a picture of him when he was fat:
http://propagationreverberation.blogspot.com/2008/06/karl-lagerfeld-does-not-kid-around.html
Isn’t that the same suit he’s been wearing since like 1980? And it’s so tight you wonder what happens when he takes it off, does his skin just fall to the floor? What a rotten rotten jealous person. He better hope he doesn’t run into Seal’s fist any time soon….
I like Heidi she seems like such a nice, hardworking person…I don’t begrudge her that at all.
That said I understand what he means, in fashion she isn’t Coco Rocha or a model that has that kind of high art prescence, walked runaways across europe (esp. Paris) and works with important photographers.
She is commercial…the model version of American Idol.
He could be nicer about it though.
He looks like he’s already dead and he’s criticising?
Oh lord, what a a-hole. How can he speak about Seal’s desease like that? That’s awful and stupid. But i bet Seal and Heidi are not even taking this comments in consideration cause they are happy and have a wonderful family together. Karl is just envy. Stupid gay a…hole! You should get a life and stop talking about other people. Focus on your work, cause that’s the only thing you are good at.
Karl has lost his mind. He is hating really, really bad.
Probably has no kids,no wife or any other form of lovers. Death is knocking at his door.
OMG that’s so friggin rude & nasty to say about Seal’s skin – if this rumor is true. Karl is too old & gross looking to be criticizing anyone in this world! Heidi is beautiful & curvaceous, exactly how a normal gorgeous woman WHO DOESN’T STARVE herself should look.
I think his comments about Seal were very uncalled for, but I agree with everything he said about Heidi. She was never high fashion and he knows it better than anyone. He’s the head of Chanel for more than 25 years, he designs for Fendi, for his own brand and he’s a photographer to boot. He’s aware of the “who’s who” of the high fashion industry and Heidi was never a part of it. As someone said before, Karl is probably pissed off to see women like Tyra and Heidi pretending to know everything about fashion just because they did some catalogs for Victoria’s Secret. Comparing high fashion models to commercial models is like comparing Target to Dior.
I love Karl, I think his work is brilliant and, because I love a good bitch, I can’t resist to his appeal. I just don’t like when he crosses the line, like he did this time. If it’s true, actually. Because you never know, with the press.
That was very mean of Lagerfield who is a wanna-be french elitist. How disgusting that he would say anything about another persons facial scars. What a shallow POS. He who hides behind Jackie-O glasses and victorian fans shows the depth of his nasty soul. I’m not a Heidi fan but clearly she knows who she is and doesn’t give a french fig what this old queen thinks.
I`ve watched the TV show when he said these comments and it was not that rude like the Sun describes it. 🙁
And yes, Germans are fed up with Heidi b/c she makes a lot of advertisments and that doesn`t really help with selling. And the most popular German TV show makes good jokes about her, look here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnWrP-853vs&feature=related
The only reason she married Seal was because of his money, if he were poor and lived in a getto, she would not even look at him. What they have done to the children is even worse, one looks white, but has yellow/red kinkey hair what a joke she and her family are. Is he too good to marry a black women, I think he thinks so why else would he marry something like her.
I am no designer but I would never want to put my name on the clothes he makes. I could make something better out of a burlap sack and kmart lace. Coco chanel must be kicking herself in her grave. To the person who made the ignorant racist comment “is he (seal) too good to marry a black woman?” my response is, no hon, he is just way too good for you.
@Soulja Guy #69, get real!
You & I and everyone out there in the African-American Community know damn well that there is no way in hell, any Black Woman would want to date much less marry Seal. He has been rejected by tons of Black Women over the years because of his Facial Scars! He is also British/African heritage & never felt appreciated by African-American Women. Dennis Rodman went through this too. He said he couldn’t even pay a Black girl to date him during his highschool days! Then he becomes famous, so all the ladies started chasing him down & he shuns them & turns to White Women because THEY APPRECIATED HIS LOOK & then Black Women started calling Rodman a traitor. That’s exactly what happened to Seal. I love Seal & Heidi together – she’s the perfect Woman for him!
German, what more can I say.
Oh Karl,
My gawd man….you have a brain….USE IT!. Nobody around you is going to toss in the gravy train ticket by telling you the truth. You have no idea what reality is like, but it’s not you. You, that stiff collar, those (dare I say) driver’s gloves that barely over-shadow that spray-painted tan….. Your image isn’t seen much because it is repulsive. Your dishing on anyone is simply another laugh at, well, YOU!!!
P.S. Karl? That lower lip needs help……badly…..just sayin’.
Good lord. Can KL open his mouth without proving yet again what a complete douchebag he is?
He is repulsive. How can this man hold so much sway in the fashion world? He piggybacks on Coco Chanel’s glory.
I see he has picked up a new toyboy, Baptiste Giabiconi.
I would not sleep with KL for love, money, or fame.
Who are these people? What is this article even saying?? Why on earth should i care???
