Heidi Klum is accused of ‘ignoring’ racist behavior until she felt judged for marrying ex-husband Seal, and makes surprising comments about his ‘package’
Critics say Heidi Klum depicts white women reaching “peak levels of delusion” after revealing their shocking perceptions of racism.
The former Victoria’s Secret model recently told The Times about the outrage surrounding her interracial marriage to singer Seal greater than a decade ago.
The first couple married in 2005 and finalized their divorce in 2014, although they separated two years earlier, in 2012. They are co-parents of 4 children: Lena, Henry, Johan and Lou. In her interview she recalled to a British newspaper that their relationship was the topic of hate.
“I discovered racism both ways: some wanted him to be with a woman of color, others wanted me to be with a white man,” Klum said. “Then we had children and people complained that I didn’t do my kid’s hair properly. But we didn’t wish to be some perfect integration poster; we just wanted family.
The model previously sparked a web-based racism frenzy in 2020 when she didn’t support actress Gabrielle Union. In November 2019, anonymous informants came upon about this Diversity magazine, which Union would describe because the racist abuse she experienced and witnessed while working on “America’s Got Talent.”

“Lots of people were pissed at me. For example, I used to be called a “white woman,” Klum said Page six a number of months after the January 2020 rainfall.
Nowadays, online reactions to her “both-way racism” remarks aren’t any more favorable.
One perspective on this case was: “All the racism got here from her own people. I can guarantee you that. I’m also sure she witnessed people round her saying and doing racist things through the years, but since she wasn’t the goal, she ignored it. It wasn’t until she had children that she began to notice and point fingers.
Some suspect that the loudest critics were white men. “I think a lot of people loved them and didn’t care about racial differences. The only people complaining about them at the time are maybe white men,” the comment reads.
A second similar perspective read: “Heidi, tell the truth… all the praise came from your people. Including her own German nation.”
Last 12 months, the German Center for Integration and Migration Research published: questionnaire residents of Germany to find that a staggering 54 percent of black people have experienced racism. The country has a population of 84 million, and 21,000 people have been tested. Of this group, 20 percent said they’d been repeatedly subjected to racist harassment and threats. Muslims and Asians also experience similar crimes.
Once again, the No. 1 victim of racism is a white supermodel from Germany. When will this country learn?

One commenter said: “She is married to a very different man. What sparked this discussion about her relationship with Seal in the primary place?
In 2019, Klum married the guitarist of the rock band Tokyo Hotel, Tom Kaultiz. Like the runway bombshell, she’s German.
Another felt that Klum had long been an issue after they expressed concerns that she had a fetish that pleased Seal. “She always described the first time she saw him as if he were a Mandingo fantasy come to life,” they wrote.
“I met him in the lobby of a hotel in New York, he had just come from the gym, and I was sitting there and I thought, wow.” – Klum he said Winfrey in the course of the taping of a 2007 episode of the TV host’s now-defunct show “Superstar Couples.” “And I actually saw everything. The whole package,” she added.
Klum stays equally candid about her Kaultiz, who is 16 years her junior. She claims that she has finally found her partner. The “Kiss From a Rose” singer also found love again. He has reportedly been dating his former assistant Laura Strayer since 2021.
