Kim Kardashian was held at gunpoint during Paris Fashion Week, with thieves stealing more than $10 million worth of jewelry from the reality star, according to media reports. “Kim Kardashian West was held up at gunpoint inside her Paris hotel room this evening, by two armed masked men dressed as police officers,” Kardashian’s spokesperson said in a statement to CNN, which first reported the incident. “She is badly shaken, but physically unharmed.” A police source told Reuters that Kardashian was locked in a bathroom and tied up during the attack, which involved five men wearing ski masks and jackets with police signs.

If the jewelry was insured it sounds fishy to me.

Is fish the same word as Muslim in French?

That’s a lot of people for a simple robbery. I’m surprised the family doesn’t have personal security and didn’t have a secure suite. Maybe they needed to punch up their TV ratings? If it is a real event, praise be to God that no one was hurt.

Smells fishy to me too. Of course, I always carry 10 million dollars worth of jewelry with me in a box, wherever I go. Not.
I wonder how it was to be divided up in the divorce?

Do the police normally wear masks?

If one is the type to carry around a couple million in jewelry, then one would have private security hired. I don’t see any mention of that. If this is all true (which I doubt), she is awful stupid or going for the insurance pay-off.

I know many of these celebrities wouldn't know their a$$es from a hole in the ground, but yes, private security is a must. I'm just not buying it.
