Kim Kardashian Not Attending Paris Fashion Week, Source Says
Kim Kardashian is giving Paris Fashion Week a pass this time.
A source told Us Weekly that her older sister, Kourtney Kardashian, will be flying to Paris this week for the fashion week, but Kim and supermodel Kendall Jenner will not be accompanying her. The publication noted that if this is the case, Kim's unwillingness to return to Paris may be due to her being robbed in the city last year.
On Oct. 3, Kim was gagged and held at gunpoint in her hotel room during her stay in the city for Paris Fashion Week. The robbers escaped with more than $10 million worth of jewelry. In January 2017, several suspects were arrested in connection with the crime.
Kim's police statement, which was released hours after the robbery by French newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche on Jan. 15, detailed what happened during the heist. According to the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star, she was calling her bodyguard at 2:56 a.m. when two men arrived in front of her room with a hotel reception staff who was already tied up.
The two culprits were apparently wearing "police" jackets, with one also sporting a cap and a ski mask. One of the men pointed a gun at Kim and ordered her to give him her ring, which was worth $4 million. She gave it. The man also demanded her money and other jewelry. "[Then] they tied me up and put plastic cables and scotch tape on my hands, and then taped my mouth and my legs," Kim said in her statement.
The Paris robbery left the E! reality star traumatized. In fact, she took a three-month hiatus from social media following the incident. She also became more careful with her posts online and learned to avoid sharing her whereabouts at times.
"I try to share my life. I definitely love doing that, but I think I'm a little bit more cautious these days about what I do share," Kardashian said on "The View." "I've learned through experience that things in real time I might change up a little bit. I might take a photo, save it, post it when I leave the place or when I'm in a different location because I don't think that worked out for me so well when I was posting every last detail."
Kim added that the Paris robbery also made her realize what is more important for her. "The things that were important to me before and the things I liked to show off before are definitely not the things I like to show off now," Kanye West's wife admitted.
