This ^^ is a photo of Kim Kardashian carrying North West yesterday. This is the first time Kim has been photographed in days. The paparazzi were waiting for her outside of her NYC apartment, and they only got the family walking out of the building and into the SUVs, where Kim and the kids traveled to the airport and took a private plane back to LA. They arrived back in LA last night. Yesterday’s travel agenda also highlighted the fact that Kim and Kanye have added much more security personnel to their details – Kim’s longtime guard Pascal Duvier was there, as were some new guards. Apparently, Kanye stayed behind in New York because he’s resuming his Pablo tour tonight.
Let’s see, what else? According to TMZ, Kim has already filed the insurance claims on her stolen jewelry. I imagine there will be some criticism of Kim for filing insurance claims – because she’s criticized for everything – but I also suspect that the insurance company was notified in the hours after the robbery, don’t you? It would have to be part of the police report, and the police would need to know which pieces were stolen and how much they were worth.
Kim Kardashian is no faker … we found out the stolen ring at the center of the Paris robbery really was as advertised … insanely expensive. Kim showed the ring off frequently, and seemed happy that media outlets were setting the value in the millions. After it was stolen, Paris authorities said it was worth $4.5 million. Sources familiar with the case tell us … Kim has already submitted an insurance claim, setting the value of the ring at an even $4 million.
The insurance docs describe the ring in detail … a 20 carat emerald cut stone. According to the docs, 13 items were taken, with a total value of $5.6 million … significantly less than the reported $10 million or $11 million.
So 13 items TOTAL were taken and the value was $5.6 million, including the $4 million diamond ring? That makes sense to me… in the fashion shows she attended before the assault and robbery, she was wearing simple yellow-gold jewelry without a lot of big jewels. The biggest piece she likely brought to Paris was absolutely the 20-carat ring. She may have even borrowed some pieces from Paris jewelers too. As for the ring, an interview Kim did with Andy Cohen pre-robbery was just made public, and she talked a lot about how much she loved her new ring and how Kanye had surprised her with it after his lucrative Adidas deal went through. Kanye even had “Adidas” inscribed on the ring. Reportedly, Kanye wants to replace the ring but Kim doesn’t want him to.
E! also has a story about how Kim is still feeling really traumatized. A source tells E!: “It’s crazy to her that people, even for a second, think she is fabricating this story. She feels like no one understands her and what she been through. Kim is surrounded by her friends and family now. She is really upset and is going to speak to a therapist in deeper lengths about this.” I think that’s a good idea, for Kim to speak to a professional. It might also help for Kanye to speak to someone – I know it didn’t happen to Kanye, but I get the feeling that he’s pretty messed up about the fact that he wasn’t there to protect Kim, and he’s feeling pretty helpless too. As for the idea that Kim somehow “made this up,” Jezebel ran a story where they asked four publicists if it was possible that Kim was just making this up for attention. Every publicist said no, of course she isn’t.

I wonder why everybody is doubting Kim and was so fast to buy Lochte story. Is it cause she is a woman and obviously women always ask for anything that happens to them?
honestly i’m buying neither
I would imagine that people doubt her story because her last name is Kardashian.i doubt it has anything to do with her being a woman.
Yeah I would say that too. I doubt there’s an anti-woman bias on this one.
I think you are right, Lalu.
One is an Olympian and one is a “social media figure”. There are very distinct attributes associated with each; gender doesn’t change the perception.
People are doubting Kim because she is Kim. No one doubts any other celebrity that is robbed (and there have been plenty) I’m actually quite disappointed with how callous people have been about this situation. She’s without a doubt one of the most annoying people in the last decade but I’ve seen people wishing that she was killed and all manner of things. She and her family are still human beings.
Those women aren’t stupid and I doubt they would fake something this serious just for attention.
I believe that Paris Hilton was robbed multiple times, and also was skeptical of Kim’s robbery. If true I feel bad for her though. Hope they catch the theives.
No it’s not because she is a woman. It is because she and her family have a decade plus history of lying and exaggeration. This is more a “cry wolf” phenomenon than anything else. Yes I believe it happened……but for those early doubters, I understand why they were initially skeptical. Context of the kardashian experience. She didn’t ask to be robbed. She did ask for constant attention and envy. And it is what it is.
Maybe it’s because Kim makes her “career” from lying and fabricating stories for attention, and Ryan Lochte doesnt?
Everything about the Kardashian lives is fake and contrived. Is it any wonder that people would doubt these liars now?
People doubt her because her whole family manufactures so much false drama for their show and its ratings. I think the heist was real, but I also have zero doubt that the family will ultimately capitalize on it for the show’s next season. Ratings have been slipping—think about this storyline and how it will benefit them, especially if Kim gives her first televised interview about it exclusively on hr family’s own show.
The drama of the robbery may be real, but the Kardashians won’t pass up a chance to capitalize on it for a ratings bonanza. We will probably see Kim in her therapists office, talking about her experience and her family rallying around her.
I totally agree..first thing that came to my mind was, is she doing this because the brangelina divorce is taking all the tabloid attention? I know it’s not right, but I am really hoping that maybe this event will get rid of THEM for good? And no matter how I try, I still don’t feel sorry for her.
Well this happened after Lochte, so maybe people are more cautious to believe it?
Because Lochte doesn’t have a habit of making up stories and lying, while Kim does. She really lies a lot and she has set up situations for publicity (like the fakeroonie flour tossing by an anti-fur activist) or to smear someone like her ex-husband. She calls the paps and then pretends it’s spontaneous. She accuses people of racism in incidents that never happened, but she or her assistant read about a similar incident and thought it would make a great Kim story. She tells impossible stories about her pregnancy and her kids, likewise gleaned from Internet stories of other women.
I thought from the beginning that it was unlikely that she was lying about this incident, for many reasons. But I can understand why people would doubt her. Too bad that Kim doesn’t understand that, if she did maybe she would rethink her penchant for lying and fabricating situations to make herself look good and others look bad. There are many famous people that would not be doubted at all. The doubts are of her own making.
This. It’s not man vs woman, it’s person we had no reason to suspect would make up such a crazy story vs person who manufactures drama and lies all the time for attention.
I doubted kim because she is a known liar. But i guess it is real
N o. It’s not because she’s a women … It’s because her and her family have been known to orchestrate a lot of things for media attention and to help their shows ratings . Their family is a bunch of fakers . Including her fake wedding to kris humphries . It took less than 24 hours for people to start questioning Ryan Lochtes story as well .
Lochte’s wasn’t even a ‘publicity stunt’. ie. something he actually planned in order to get publicity; it was a dumb-as-rocks jock making up a story to cover himself when he went out drinking past curfew with his teammates…. which quickly unraveled when police investigated. French police will be investigating the hell out of this because the robbers had guns. If she wanted publicity there are much easier ways to get it, ones that don’t involve being scrutinised by the police and potentially being prosecuted if found to be lying. The conspiracy theories just aren’t logical. I doubt it was an inside job, either; it didn’t need to be when all the family’s movements were so public.
I don’t even think that’s the case with Lochte with him I think he was terrified knew he had done something wrong called his mom he cried about it fibbed to make himself look better to only her and then she blew it out of the water.
I think she is an appalling liar, hence the doubt, and I want to give her a hug and tell her she will be ok.
There are 18 replies to Hannah’s original comment. At least 11 comments mention her lying. Almost 2 out 3 people think she’s a liar (aside from the robbery). Someone should point this out to her.
Because people do not understand that the perfect victim does not exist.
Yeah I would suspect that someone who literally lies for a living is probably not the perfect victim.
I think it is something to do with his being an Olympian
In our minds Olympians have higher ideals – although in reality they are drug cheats, liars, narcissists, ruthless, self serving in fact everything that the rest of us are when at our worst.
I am bored to death with everything a man doing being believed and everything a woman doing being questioned for motive. It make me want to vomit
The concierge was witness, her assistant – she filed a police report and he stopped a concert mid flow
This was real and she must have been terrified
I cannot imagine why there is so much commentary utterly lacking in empathy when she is a woman like us. We need to catch a grip and remember to be supportive and kind first
Have you even paid attention to all of the other fabrications that everyone in this family does? It’s not a “man/woman” thing.
Doesn’t have anything to do with the fact she’s a woman. Has to do with the fact that her family routinely makes up drama for their show including a few fake robbery stories in the past.
I’m guessing her insurance agent reached out to her. Kim undoubtedly has tons of insurance and is a valued customer.
Given her lifestyle/career, I wonder if her insurance premiums are higher than the average woman with a $4mm ring.
“the average woman with a $4mm ring”
there’s a morning oxymoron for you!
Her insurance premiums for her jewelry is probably incredibly high. Not only does she have millions of dollars of jewelry, but she also wears them regularly. Her premiums would be lower if she had replica jewelry made and wore those, keeping the real jewels locked away.
Plus, this proves it really happened. No way is she dumb enough to commit insurance fraud. It’s good that she filed a claim.
I don’t know. There were rumours right from the start that she manufactured this incident with sole reason to commit insurance fraud. I think the reasoning was that Kanye is broke. So now those people are saying “told you so”. She will never have universal support and this little fact is swinging both ways.
Crox, I honestly hadn’t heard those theories. Insurance fraud would get her sent to prison. I don’t think much of the Kardashians, but they wouldn’t risk prison time for their biggest star.
Kanye had “Adidas” inscribed on the ring? Always classy.
IKR? lol
Every girls’ dream! Such romance!
Maybe it’s code for ‘Riccardo Tisci’
That’s so Kanye…
OR, maybe it was acknowledging the accomplishment that made the purchase of said ring (for whatever reason…it’s been something that’s come out of their marriage together) possible. Damn. I’m pretty sure it makes sense to them and it’s all that matters .
I am sure the Insurance company will have something to say about the refund if the jewels were not kept in a safe at the moment of the robbery. And it seems like they weren’t.
The insuarance company would be in order to question the security precautions. I dont think they will though. This is such a major story, a smart company wouldnt risk that kind of attention and a public battle with the Kardashians over this. They’ll pay up fast and try to get some positive press out of it,
I think it also depends on if it was stipulated that the thing needed to be kept in a safe even when Kim was in her residence.
Now I really want to see what the insurance agreement would be on a thing like that.
If this wasn’t such a major story and/or if her last name wasn’t Kardashian, the insurance company would give her grief about not having her jewels locked up. But like Naya said, the insurance company is going to handle this swiftly and maybe try to get Kim to compliment them publicly.
On a shallow note, I like how she’s doing her makeup now. It looks so much better and more natural.
My first instinct with the Kardashian/Jenners is to believe all their stories are fake, but I believe Kim’s telling the truth about this, and I think it’s sad the way people are blaming her for what happened. No, it’s not “her fault” for posting pics of her expensive jewelry on social media. Is it very smart? Maybe not, but that doesn’t give people the right to rob her.
I have no doubt that the robbery has in fact happened, she is shallow and dumb but she wouldn’t dare to cross authorities or create a diplomatic issue between countries.
She is not that dumb.
She strikes me as someone who is way on the right side of the law (minus manipulating for her show in her life) but she just doesn’t strike me as someone who would, you know, try and drive drunk or pull insurance claim or do something that was really illegal because She seems to be a really big scaredy-cat.
SAMTHA,
I feel like there are two big overlapping issues here. Is she someone who might lie about this? Yeah, I think she probably is. (Although don’t think she is lying this time, I think it’s not beneath her to lie about something so big).
Do her questionable choices make her responsible for crimes committed against her? F*ck no!! She’s a human being and entitled to the same rights to safety and dignity that all humans deserve.
When was the last time Kim was photographed in a baggy hoodie, not showing her face to the paps? That photo speaks volumes about how traumatized she is. People may not like her, they may be sick of her, but what an awful thing to happen. I can’t imagine how shaken she is, and I feel very badly for her.
Still crazy to me that people don’t believe this happened.
Or its because the family pays very close attention to what the media and blogs are saying also the comments people are making. She was completely dolled up when she left France and arrived in NYC and people commented heavily on it. So I was not surprised to see her dressed like this at all. When you look back at this familys PR game over the years you can see how they adjust and counter what they do based on what’s being said. That’s how they have made their money. Playing the media. Even with this robbery as soon as people started questioning or doubting one thing or another within a few hours an “answer” was out for it. And it has repeated every since. And just so it’s clear I’m not saying she wasn’t robbed but that also doesn’t mean they still aren’t being very calculated about what they do and how they present themselves.
I wouldn’t pay much attention to how she was dressed to come home from Paris. She probably was just following her normal routine. Not unusual after a shock. Sometimes effects are delayed from such trauma, and the desire to cover up and stay away from the limelight may actually have hit later.
You feel ‘bad’ not ‘badly.’
Seriously? “Badly” is actually correct, since it’s an adverb here, not an adjective.
This cracked me up. Dude, if you’re going to be grammar police, at least get it right.
Not that it matters, but it being an adverb is exactly why it’s not correct in this context. If you “feel badly,” you are bad at feeling (can’t think of a better way to put it). It’s describing how you feel, not what you feel. Like you’d never say “I feel hungrily,” right? It’s “I feel hungry.”
No, it’s an adjective in this case. It describes your feelings, not your ability to feel.
Jo is right. “Badly” is indeed an adverb, meaning the manner in which something is done. “Bad” is correct, being an adjective describing Kim’s emotional state (I feel very bad for her–not badly; sad for her, not sadly). An adverb modifies a verb, telling HOW the action is done, so to say “feels badly” would mean that she feels her emotions ineptly. You can look bad, feel bad, etc., and you can apply your makeup badly, play tennis badly, etc.
I am slapping my own face right now for jumping in here for my Dr. Strangelove-ian inability to stand back from a language skirmish. Someone please hose me down with chopped ice and carry on.
ETA – While I was ranting on, two other posters made the same observation I did and made it far more succinctly…Clearly I posted slowly. I feel bad. Backing out carefully but feeling happy (not happily) that there are other usage freaks here with me.
One of my favorite movies, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang puts it like this: “you feel and, not badly. Saying you feel badly implies the mechanism which allows you to feel is broken.” If it’s good enough for Rovert Downey Jr… 😉
It is awful if it really happened. It probably was not engineered by Kris.
However, I am not yet 100% convinced it was not engineered by Kris. It is conceivable that they came up with the idea and decided to do it but only after having determined that the consequences would be offset by the upside PR. They could have had their attorneys research the legal consequences and had their PR people estimate the PR consequences.
There are a lot of unanswered questions but that’s because authorities don’t want certain information released because it would compromise the ongoing investigation. It’s also likely that misinformation is being strategically leaked because authorities believe it could help their investigation. Some facts will be released eventually in the form of public documents. I don’t believe anything I’m reading right now with 100% certainty because it’s all hearsay.
As for Kim being traumitized, she has not been taking any measure to conceal where she is. If I were traumitized, that’s what I would do for the forseeable future. She could easily arrive/depart in the middle of the night, use a body double etc. She has not done that. It’s true that the last few days, she herself has not updated her own social media, but she has made a media circus out of arrival and departures at her home in NYC, on/off her private jet etc.
In this case, though, the paps could actually be lying in wait outside her hotel and at the airport. They do set up shop in the airport to get pics of celebrities. This has been in the news, so I don’t think that they have to be called by Kim (even though she usually does that).
It’s too recent for her to even think about doing the sensible things you suggest. So she’s just following her usual routine except not being anxious to show herself to the paps. She may very well change her approach later.
She had the staff to organize her taking a private plane out of Paris a few hours after the robbery. She has security and an army of staff who are supposed to be thinking about my suggestions. I disagree that it is too early for her to be less visible. She could easily do that but she doesn’t want to.
@jwoolman – maybe you know or someone else does, but is there not a private entrance to the apartment or an underground private parking garage? Maybe they just didn’t think of using it.
If she wanted privacy, she’d leave out of the garage of her building in NYC in a vehicle with dark windows, and land at a small private airstrip in LA.
If I were feeling traumatized, I sure as heck would not be allowing my two babies’ faces in full view of cameras while I covered my own head with a cap and hoodie.
She is playing it up to full effect for maximum media attention, meaning she learned a grand total of n-o-t-h-i-n-g. I have a feeling Kanye might be starting to wonder what he married into.
This!
This woman is shaken. She is going through some serious stuff. It happened.
The photographed her in trainers and sweats. She didn’t even do that at the end of her pregnancies.
No reason to throw this hate into the world! It comes back to bite you.
And whatever you may say about Kim- vapid, out of touch, shallow, narcissistic, whatever- I don’t see her as some evil person deserving of any of this. I really feel bad for her.
Compassion. Especially for those who you may not think ‘deserve it.’ It would be helpful in this world.
@cheryl, standing ovation!
👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yeah, I say withhold judgment for a few weeks. People do odd things after a shock. Once she’s recovered more, she may rethink it all, especially exposing those kids to the cameras. If she doesn’t, then she really hasn’t learned anything useful from the experience. But it’s really too soon to judge.
The day she landed in NYC she was pap’d with full make-up and hair done with stylish clothes on and heels. This pic of her in a hoodie and face covered was days after arriving in NYC. Does this make sense? No. I think she is milking this for everything it’s worth.
Not being sarcastic or anything. Serious question. How will the Kardashians survive if they go private? The only reason why they’re relevant is because they’re attention seeking and post every little thing that happens while having a camera follow them around. This will be interesting to watch unfold.
They have probably made enough money to get by.
Wilma, I wasn’t talking about money wise. I was talking about how they’d survive without all the attention on them and no longer being relevant.
Considering their spending habits? Unless they’ve invested well, I don’t think so.
I dont think they will exactly become “private”. Kim will perhaps be a bit more cautious and hire even tighter security. But I definitely dont think she’ll quit social media absolutely and forever.
+1. Kim will be back to her old self in time. The only difference will be that she will have visible 24X7 security and a deal with the paps that they include security staff in their photos of her.
Kylie is already back on Snapchat, I don’t think this will last. Once the initial shock is over, they will go back to normal.
I agree, Val. They have their subscription websites, and they will be nothing without content to fill them to keep their followers interested and the monthly fees rolling in. Then there’s Kim’s game, which can be more controlled, but still requires newer features to keep people playing and paying. Her social media makes her a lot of money in endorsements, so if she wants to continue generating income that way, she’ll need to maintain a strong presence across all platforms. I think she’ll retreat for a while, then, after consultation and advice from digital media experts, will return, not necessarily with a vengeance, but perhaps in a more reserved and professional manner.
They’ll probably just put a few hours delay on their social media postings. They’ll keep notifying the paps on their whereabouts but have bigger security details.
When repeatedly exposed liars say things, it’s only natural to question them.
I believe her. Staging something like that is too complex and risky. But let’s be real here: this is about the first real Kardashian story since their show became a hit. So let’s not act like it’s unfair to be suspicious of them.
I saw a few of these pictures yesterday and North looked very scared and she was crying, and my immediate thought was that she was going off her mom’s vibes, the way that children do. We’ve never seen Kim bundled up like that. North looked terrified and was clinging to Kim. I think she knows her mom is upset and scared.
I understand why people are skeptical, but the ridiculously harsh and inhumane comments on Twitter have made me empathize with her even more. My best friend was robbed at gunpoint about 5 years ago and I’ve never experienced anything like that before… the ups and downs she went through before I convinced her to seek help were terrifying! She really became a different person, and she developed the worst anxiety I’ve ever seen. I can only imagine how it must be for Kim, who had people break into her apartment, feared she would be raped and/or murdered, and was tied up. If a 5 minute robbery traumatized my best friend that badly, I can’t imagine how someone in Kim’s position must be feeling. I’m glad to hear she’s getting help.
Nori also may be overhearing things, enough to scare her even if she doesn’t understand it exactly. And yes, she could be picking up on Kim’s anxiety as well as Kanye’s mood. Nori has been spending more time with Kim for the past year so she’s not in “who the heck are you?” mode as she was for the first year and a half or so.
I noticed that too, 🙁
Also, I think North doesn’t like have the cameras in her face and so starts with that and the other things just add to it.
Kim being accused of fabricating this event is the classic case of the boy who cried wolf. She lies and fabricates so much about events that invariably cast her as the victim that when something genuine happens, people don’t believe her and or assume it’s more fabrication and lies.
Yeah there’s evidence the Kardashians have faked stuff. But I have zero doubt the robbery is real. I have also no doubt that it will be capitalised on for a next season. Shrug. No demand, nobody will tune in. Like it or not, there’s still an audience.
I heard on the radio driving into work this morning, that ‘people’ are now saying they think Kanye had someone do it to collect the insurance money. They also said that the French police want to question him.
…..wow. That would be something. I highly doubt this is true, but what a great plot for a made for tv movie….
Right?
Prayers for the Paris police who have to question Kanye …. 🙂 What an assignment! They should get a bonus for surviving the ordeal.
While I don’t think that’s the case…it is a little suspicious. Not too long ago he was claiming deep debt and asking famous people for investments. Then he buys Kim crazy jewelry, and now…hmm. While the likely scenario is just thieves targeting someone wealthy, if I were the insurance company, for sure I’d want to check every angle here, but I imagine they do for any claim that high.
But this is silly. There are much, much easier ways to ‘lose’ something expensive for insurance.
I think people are misunderstanding the ‘Kanye is broke thing’ and trying to spin it. Kanye West, as a person, himself, is not broke. Kanye West as a brand, as a ‘music producer’ is broke. It’s like saying The Rolling Stones aren’t making anymore money, but Mick and co. aren’t personally struggling.
I noticed her outfit, not to be crude but it took a robbery for Kim to dress in runners, tights and sweater,comfy for ride on plane instead another usual sex show.
I find it odd that Kanye had joined her and FAM in Paris yet no kids. Who leaves kids in NY city w/ nannies while u travel to another country to watch fashion shows?
What’s with all the security, she ain’t getting robbed in daylight going to her car.
I don’t believe that insurance fraud story because Kanye’s not that stupid. Police want to talk to him to learn about suspicious activity and people around him.
They may want to question him because he bought the ring and may have the receipts showing what he paid for it. Who knows.
I remember Kim lying during her 1st pregnancy about a boy calling her a “n-lover”. We got Kanye coming over and beating the guy up. All for her to be exposed as a lying liar when there was video. I remember Kim lying about not being able to get pregnant, having a difficult pregnancy, pregnancy risks, and everything else under the sun, but we’re being mean by being skeptical. Please.
Now, I believe she was robbed, but I also know to wait and see because who knows what lengths this family will go to for publicity.
Spot on, Mia.
Please indeed.
As for that pic above being used as evidence – proof even! – of how distraught KK must be to hide herself under a hoodie…
Well… just… well. I’ll leave it there.
You’re right about the first part being a lie, but her pregnancy issues were real. Remember her daughter was 4 weeks premature, she did have a fused placenta and other delivery complications. She did need to have procedures so she could get pregnant a second time.
She’s not the most honest person, but at least point out actual lies and not just point out she had shitty pregnancies and struggle to get pregnant a second time.
Mia might be remembering one show where Khloe was at a fertility clinic and Kim was checked out, too; the doctor told Kim that she would have no trouble getting pregnant. (From what I remember of what was written here on the posts.) This was prior to her becoming pregnant with North.
If this is real, then I hope that Kim gets the help that she needs to recover. I was robbed a number of years ago, and even though I wasn’t there – thankfully, I was pet sitting for my father – I still have fear about it.
Her daughter was not 4 weeks premature. That was a story Kim told people, when she just went into labor. This was a women who was traipsing all over S. America with Kanye in heels and plastic shoes, water retention and all. What delivery complications? She had a vaginal birth and left the hospital within days of delivery. What procedures did they show on TV? None. No fertility treatments. Nothing of the sort. She got pregnant each and every time she wanted to with no issues. So yes, she’s lied for ratings and promotion.
$5.6m, gone. Imagine if she had put a fraction of that into charities.
I hope she does become more charitable after this. You know, easy come easy go…but if she gave to a worthy cause it would be something that would benefit her too….as it’s something she would have in her heart to feel proud of.
I like how the one publicist said in the Jezebel article that they think Kim and co are being silent on social media because they are trying to broker an exclusive tell all. I’m kind of surprised at the backlash over people being skeptical. I don’t think being skeptical of a reality star known for making up stories and drama is the same as being cold, hateful, not having compassion etc. There was a lot of back and forth about that in the comments over there. I mean, after stuff like Balloon Boy, after people will fake having cancer to get money etc I don’t blame them.
I do think it happened because it would be really stupid to fake this. Really stupid. Yet I would not be surprised if things didn’t go down as Kim said (ex there were no zip tie restraints, no duct tape etc- I think they took her phone and told her to stay in the bathroom).
It sounds as though the concierge was in the apartment with her, since in the links post she was quoted as asking him if they were going to die and he said he didn’t know, but stay calm. He wrote an open letter to Kim after suggestions that his calmness meant he was involved in the robbery. He said basically that in such a situation, staying calm gives you the best chance of surviving. I don’t know if he was tied up or if he was locked in the bathroom also, the earlier story made it sound as though she was alone.
If 13 items were stolen and the total value for insurance purposes is 5.6M and the ring is 4M of it, where are the 12 cubic zirconia pieces?
IKR? Most celebs and other rich people travel with what they call “travel jewelry”. They make such great-looking CZs now, it’s almost impossible to tell them from the real thing.
A friend of mine told me once that CZs aren’t cheap diamonds; diamonds are overpriced CZs.
I was surprised that she wasn’t traveling with a duplicate item that was custom-made to look like the expensive ring.
Daily Fail says KUWTK filming has been put indefinitely on hold, and Kim has canceled everything. It’s clear this is legit.
Honestly, I don’t think she’s lying. Why would she? She has tons and tons of it already.
Much as its horrid to get robbed at gun point, I would laugh my arse of if the insurance refused to pay
I’ve heard of insurance not paying out on burglaries when you post your location on FB.
I know people have said the insurance company will pay to avoid bad publicity, but it’s hard to believe that they want customers who think it’s ok to not lock up the jewels and to advertise you’re home alone and that won’t cause any trouble for insurance…. I would expect they have some rules for precautions that must be taken. So bad publicity would be shelling out the money for the claim if it turns out any rules specified in the policy were violated. Their clients are the very rich, not plebes like us, so why would they care how we feel about whether or not the claim is paid? She still should file a claim regardless and let the insurance company decide if the terms of the policy covered the loss or not.
I finished reading Shopaholic in Hollywood (the Sophia Kinsella series) and after reading about the story of those two Hollywood starlets putting on a feud for attention which I never even thought about it wouldn’t surprise me if she could fake it. Before I had read it it wouldn’t have even crossed my mind but now everything is possible.
There is a difference between lying for drama and committing a crime: falsely reporting a felony (being robbed and threatened with a deadly weapon, that is illegal). There are degrees and this particular event is a crime of a serious nature that tarnishes Paris (however small), a county her and her husband, and the rest of their family have loved.
I still don’t believe she was robbed. I think it was a publicity stunt designed to bring attention back to their show, which is starting to hemorrhage viewers.
I believe her. I don’t understand what they’d have to gain by making it up. Kayne is at the height of his fame. Kim, like her or don’t like her, I’m not a huge fan, the whole world knows Kim. Shes HUGE! They stand to gain nothing from this. Also, personally, I find it disappointing that that’s the first place peoples minds would go. What if she’s really telling the truth? Do you really want to be the person that accidentally victim shamed an actual victim? Kayne has to be a hot mess! He worships her. Any good husband would blame himself forever. Do I think we should be making this global ‘news’. No. Not particularly. But, that’s America. We’re more interested in celebs than politics. But that’s not her fault. She’s just doing what we’re paying her to do. And then we blame her for it. I really feel for her. I couldn’t carry her fame. For all the glamour, it must be hard.
Regardless of price- I would be devastated if I lost/was robbed – my ring. That just sucks . I feel bad for her.
Good luck trying to sell that rock unnoticed…
