Kim Kardashian Says Kanye West Once Accused Her of Faking Paris Robbery
Kim Kardashian has revealed that Kanye West once accused her of staging her 2016 Paris armed robbery, calling the moment “a knife to my heart.” The revelation appears in a new episode of The Kardashians and was highlighted by Decider, which reviewed the episode’s most emotional scenes.
Kim recounted how, years after she was tied up at gunpoint in a Paris hotel bathroom while thieves stole millions in jewellery, she still faced conspiracy theories claiming the robbery was staged. Hearing West echo those theories—privately and in front of others—left her stunned and devastated. She explained that the trauma of the ordeal had long-lasting psychological effects, and West’s accusation felt like a deep betrayal.
The episode also revisits the trial of the gang responsible for the robbery, during which Kim gave testimony describing how she feared for her life. Several defendants were convicted, and French media noted that while some received suspended sentences, the court acknowledged the severity of the attack.
The newly aired footage has reignited discussion around celebrity conspiracy culture and the damage misinformation can inflict on victims. Kim closes the segment by reaffirming that the robbery was “terrifying, real, and life-changing”—a moment she continues to rebuild from nearly a decade later.
