This morning we learned she was robbed at gunpoint in her luxury apartment in Paris as she was targeted by a gang of five robbers disguised as police officers who are reported to have stolen over £8.5 million worth of her jewellry.
The thieves broke in around 2:30 am Monday Morning and are described to have tied and gagged Kim Kardashian West, locking her in the bathroom whilst they made off with millions of pounds worth of her jewellery.
Fortunately she is reported to have come away from the ordeal badly shaken, but was left physically unharmed.
Parisian police are said to be hunting down the five thieves who reportedly gained entry into the star's apartment by forcing their way into the residence, first by handcuffing the concierge and then demanding the overnight security to show them to the reality tv star's apartment.
They are then said to have stolen a jewellry box worth £5.24 million pounds along with a ring worth over £3.5 million, which is thought to have been an engagement ring that husband Kayne West gifted to her.
Kim Kardashian West is one of the biggest names in Reality TV appearing regularly in Keeping Up with the Kardashians with her family. She has also appeared in other successful reality tv spin offs such as Kim and Kourtney take New York and Kourtney and Kim take Miami.
She first came into the spotlight as best friend and associate of wealthy socialite Paris Hilton. However she also owes much of her fame to the popularity of a leaked sex tape which featured R'n'B singer Ray J who was her boyfriend just before the tape leaked.
Since breaking her way into the Hollywood scene, Kim Kardarshian West along with her family have been a regular presence in the media and have kept people talking by allowing their personal lives to unfold before our eyes via our television screens. So far we've witnessed Kim Kardashian West marry basketball player Kris Humpries and then file for divorce in a period of just 72 days. She then entered her third marriage with hip hop mogul Kayne West- which resulted in the popular moniker for the couple- 'KimYe'
The reality star was attending Paris Fashion week, whilst husband Kayne West was in New York performing at Meadow Music and Art Festival when the robbery took place. On the evening of the robbery, she went to a Balenciaga and Givenchy Fashion show and later went out to dinner with some friends.
The night before the robbery, Kardashian West posted a video on social media platform SnapChat which happened to feature her 15 carat Lorraine Schwatrz engagement ring, which her husband bought as a replacement to her previous ring. A few nights before that she also showed off golden and diamond grills which she wore to match a golden dress. The grills were custom made by French Jewerlly designer Dolly Cohen whose pieces are thought to be all custom designed.
So it comes as no surprise that many people are not so sympathetic towards the Keeping Up with Kardashians star upon finding out she was robbed, as she was hardly modest when it came to flaunting her wealth. In fact she was quite the opposite.
Nonetheless being robbed is undoubtedly a terrifying and traumatic experience, much worse being robbed at gunpoint. So whilst speculation arises as whether the reality star may have encouraged the robbery by showing off expensive possessions on social media, I think we can all agree it can't have been nice for the reality star to be robbed in Paris.
