Kim Kardashian was left “badly shaken but physically unharmed” after several armed men broke into her luxury Paris residence, tied her up in the bathroom and robbed her of jewelry worth millions of dollars.
French police say the robbery was perpetrated by five men who had dressed up in fake police uniforms to gain entry to Kardashian’s private residence at the Hôtel de Pourtalès.
According to TMZ, Kardashian had attempted to call for help on her phone but was stopped by one of the intruders, who then bound her ankles and left her in the bathroom.
Kardashian, who has not yet spoken publicly about the incident (her typically buzzing Twitter account has been dormant since the attack), reportedly feared that she would be brutalized or raped by the men and began to call for help, which led to the gang of thugs to further restrain and gag her.
Her cries alerted a friend (named by TMZ as “Simone”) who was sleeping downstairs in the apartment. Simone then locked herself in the downstairs bathroom and called Pascal, Kardashian’s often-photographed bodyguard, whom she had posted about on Twitter just earlier that day.
Estimates have been putting the value of the haul around $10 million, most of it jewelry. TMZ makes specific reference to a ring that Kanye had recently gifted to his wife.
Kanye had been performing at the Meadows Music and Arts Festival in Queens, New York at the time and stopped his performance in the middle of a rendition of “Heartless” once he heard the news from Paris. He immediately stopped and spoke to the crowd, saying, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Family emergency, I have to stop the show.”
Kanye has also rescheduled some of his tour dates in order to spend more time with his family after the traumatic event. Specifically, his upcoming shows in Philadelphia and Detroit have been pushed back by two months. His Philly show scheduled for October 4 will now take place on December 13, and his Detroit show originally scheduled for October 6 will take place on December 22.
The police have yet to apprehend anyone in connection with the crime.
absolutely nothing has being explaind in here
Ol lying ass bitch is lying
No explanation given, and not relevant to HIP HOP. Is this site like a radio station now, where their bottom line dictates content? Kim K is a rapper’s side bitch/wife depending on the date. I get the initial news story where Kanye (a hip hop artist) had to cut his show early because of this, but this is a TMZ story. How you gon have news bout where GZA is performing this week and then cover shit like this? STAY IN YOUR FUCKIN LANE HHDX. Somhairle Cinnsealach you’re cool probably, but the shot callers above you are a bunch of fuck boys (and girls). fuckouttahere
It’s definitely relevant to Hip Hop in some context and I would even go as far as to say it’s relevant you, given your lack of commentary in the said GZA article. Hate it or love it, you can’t put Hip Hop into one compact boombox box in 2016 nor do we only have one lane. It’s a cultural highway over here. Thanks for the continuous support nonetheless, sir.
True, HHDX does have more than one lane. But this is hopping into the lane that’s going into oncoming traffic.
Sorry Trent, but the fact that she’s married to Kanye doesn’t make this news “hip-hop”. It’s already been covered by all the “non hip-hop” media so your coverage is useless. And Kim has NOTHING to do with the hip-hop culture. Stop lying to yourself and quit this TMZ crap.
Ayo tell that lame ass nigga, son. Hip hop isn’t one lane, it’s a highway. These narrow minded fools always yapping they gums about how this that and the third, about how this ain’t Hip Hop lol. Stop exaggerating about minor details and bogging over minor details.
Real talk fam. I be lookin out for Blake Shelton shit on here sometimes but I ain’t see it. This site need more lanes b.
Oh, poor Kim… Stupid enough to post what she got today on Instagram before the robbery!
Here’s What Went Down When Kim Kardashian Was Robbed: Insurance Fraud.
Who was Kim robbed by ? N!gg@$ in Paris
Wow. Bite much? Sorry, the meme came and went.
Hahaha her lifestyle is shameful. She deserves to be put in place. U want to stunt all your expensive shit well guess what.. we gonna take that shit.
I remember when Styles of Beyond, Wu Tang, and Slaughterhouse got covered on this sites news section. Now its like a black TMZ, although the Reviews section still covers just about everything i follow.
That being said, as much as i hate what the Kardashians represent about American pop culture, nobody should have to go through that kind of fear from scum bag thieves. I hope they are caught and given the chair.
Another idiocy by the brain-dead power couple: $10 mil and no bodyguard…please!
The Pimp’s feeling insurance scam or world class stupidity#thedontmoney
call the bodyguard? but not the police?? this sound sus
