Kim Kardashian Says Kanye West Accused Her of Faking 2016 Paris Robbery

Her tearful revelation on The Kardashians follows her Paris testimony in May, when eight defendants were convicted.

Overview

  • Kardashian said her ex-husband told people she had "faked" the robbery for television, a claim she called "a knife to my heart."
  • The episode revisited years of public skepticism, including commentary from Howard Stern and coverage of a 2016 West tweet calling early reports a "publicity stunt."
  • Kardashian recounted being bound at gunpoint as more than $10 million in jewelry was stolen and recalled making a plan to jump from a window if attackers returned.
  • She testified for nearly six hours in May in a Paris court; eight of ten defendants were found guilty, with sentences reported up to eight years and many avoiding further prison due to time served.
  • Kardashian said facing the defendants brought vindication and that the ordeal reshaped her life, from security practices to when she wears diamonds.
