‘Gender based violence is okay if the victim is Kim Kardashian?’: Kim K Fans Blast Haters for Glorifying Her Robber as Modern Day Robin Hood for Stealing Millions in Jewelry
Kim Kardashian is one of the most popular media personalities out there. The star is not only known for her reality show, KUWTK but is also famous for her fashion and beauty. It is no doubt that the fame has made her a lot of money over the years. However, the fame and the money come with their set of risks, and the star was famously robbed in 2016 while she was staying in Paris. Now, after years, her robber has publicly revealed the reasons behind the robbery.
Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in Paris
In 2016, Kim K was in Paris for the Paris Fashion week and was staying at The No Address Hotel. According to the police report, the star was alone in her room on the night of October 3, 206, when two men dressed as police officers appeared in her room. One of the men asked her for her ring, and when she refused, he took out a gun and held her at gunpoint. Then the two men grabbed her and took her out into the hallway. The two men then dragged her inside the room again while she begged them for her life. The star’s mouth was duct taped, and she was tied up and left in the bathtub while the thieves robbed other expensive belongings.
Kim Kardashian’s robber talks about the robbery incident
Kim K also revealed that she was only wearing a bathrobe when this incident occurred, and she was sure that she would be sexually assaulted. Fortunately, the robbers left without causing any physical harm to the star, but the incident did have a huge impact on the star’s mental health. Recently, one of the robbers, Yunis Abbas, justified his act and stated to Vice News,
“Since she was throwing money away, I was there to collect it and that was that. Guilty? No, I don’t care. I don’t care.”
He also blamed Kim K for provoking the robbery by showing off her wealth on social media.
“They should be a little less showy toward people who can’t afford it. For some people, it’s provocative.”

Hopefully, people will realize that celebrities are also human beings who deserve to have a safe and dignified life, and any sort of traumatic incident, such as a robbery at gunpoint, should not be justified.
