It’s been lost amidst Donald Trump explaining to Billy Bush how stars can simply grab the pussies of women they find attractive.
But Kim Kardashian was held up at gunpoint and robbed in Paris just one week ago.
The reality star has remained understandably (and unusually) silent every since this horrible crime, but new information has leaked out regarding her assailants.
According to a report by French news outlet BFM TV, the men who tied up Kardashian and the concierge at the No Address Hotel were all European.
They were also all between 40 and 50 years old and all spoke French without an accent.
There had been rumors that the concierge was actually in on the crime, that he helped plan it and that was why he remained so calm in the face of possible death while held captive along with Kardashian.
But he actually wrote an open letter to Kim last week and claimed he acted so chill in order to save their lives.
Back to the criminals:
The men were disguised as police officers and allegedly came and left the scene on bicycles.
According to this French report, the concierge told police that, upon breaking in to the premises, the robbers demanded the following in French: “Where’s the rapper’s wife?“
So it’s possible that these men didn’t even know who Kardashian was… aside from the fact that she’s married to a high-profile celebrities and had very expensive jewelry in her possession.
As has been recounted and confirmed, they made off with over $ 11 million in said jewelry, including a $ 4.5 million diamond ring recently gifted to Kim by Kanye West.
Two of the assailants reportedly went upstairs with the concierge to Kardashian’s apartment.
They came upon her in her bedroom and tied her up.
Another robber then searched the apartment for the jewelry, which was sitting out in the open on a table.
The entire robbery took about six minutes, but we’re sure it was the longest six minutes of Kardashian’s life.
Sources have said how she begged for the men not to kill her, saying she had two small kids at home.
She also believed they were going to rape her.
Kardashian eventually broke free from her restrained and called her bodyguard, Pascal Duvier; he had been out with the star’s sisters in Paris, Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner.
Once Duvier arrived on the scene, he called the French Banditry Repression Brigade, a unit which encompasses around 100 men.
After Kim gave a statement to authorities, she boarded a private plane and flew to meet Kanye in New York City.
We haven’t heard anything from her since, as multiple insiders say Kardashian is traumatized by the experience.
She will likely remain off the radar for awhile and, when she does return to public life, expect to see a far more reserved Kim Kardashian.
She will remain guarded on social media, revealing far less about her location and her wealth than she did prior to this heinous crime.
“It was a very well coordinated robbery,” a source tells People Magazine. “It will take time to investigate. It’s a very complicated affair.
And a very frightening one.
As we’ve said many times, we don’t care much for the way Kim often acts in public. Or for what Kim often says in order to make money and garner attention.
But that doesn’t mean we don’t sympathize with her in this case.
It doesn’t mean we don’t feel terrible for her and wish her the best.
No celebrity deserves what she went through very early last Monday morning. We send Kim our best wishes.
