Back in October, Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint while staying at a hotel in Paris.
The thieves absconded with more than $ 10 million in jewels and evaded capture for weeks.
Now, several members of what’s said to be a sophisticated crime ring have been apprehended, but the mystery of how such a daring heist was pulled off is still far from solved:
Many remain under the impression that Kim’s robbery was an inside job.
It’s not hard to see how they arrived at that conclusion, as the thieves were clearly privy to information not only about Kim’s whereabouts, but about the valuables with which she was traveling.
Sources say that for weeks after the robbery, the 36-year-old mother of two was convinced that someone within her inner circle had betrayed her.
Now, however, Kim seems to be entertaining a different possibility – and accepting the fact that she’s partially to blame for the events of that fateful night.
On next week’s episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim discusses the robbery with her sisters, and admits for the first time that her social media posts likely triggered and facilitated the crime.
“What I think happened now after like thinking about it so much is that there was probably a group of guys that were following us the entire trip,” Kim says.
“I was Snapchatting that I was home and that everyone was going out,” she recounts.
“So I think they knew [bodyguard Pascal Duvier] was out with Kourtney and that I was there by myself.”
Kim adds that she believes her Snapchat posts alerted the thieves to a “window of opportunity”:
“They had to have known we were leaving that day,” she adds.
“They had this window of opportunity and just went for it.”
She also says she was aware that she was being watched, but was unconcerned, possibly as a result of the fact that she attracts obsessed fans wherever she goes:
“If you wait across the street you can see the lights on because we’re the first floor, so they must have been told we were the first floor,” she tells her sisters.
“They definitely were watching. So I turned the lights off and went upstairs.”
Reps for E! say Kim’s recollection of the robbery is one of the most harrowing scenes she’s ever filmed.
