While the incident took place five years ago, but the turmoil and the impact it had on the Kardashians and the ardent viewers is unforgettable, especially for Kim who found it hard to make her way back to Paris and was in Trauma for the same. She also went off social media to find her solace and finally revealed what had happened to her in one of the episodes of Keeping up With the Kardashians.
This incident created a buzz in the entire world, but a lot of theories and false narratives didn't exactly deliver what actually happened during the robbery which took place. So we decided to take you on a nostalgia ride with us to figure out what had actually happened during the robbery along with some new details revealed and what happened to the Paris robbers post robbery. This article has the entire clip embedded from The Infographics show, a trusted YouTube channel, which inspired us to pen down this article.
Let's get into the beginning, the famous reality TV star Kim Kardashian had landed in Paris for Paris Fashion week along with sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, and for an expected holiday whereas her husband Kanye West was performing at Arts festival in New York, which he had to stop in the middle citing a family emergency. Kim was alone in the city and had apparently booked out a 16,000$ suite in Paris's Rue Tronchet also called the no address hotel.
It was around 2:30 am in Paris, five guys had entered the no address hotel wearing a police uniform and weren't forbidden from entering the hotel where the concierge opened the door and was asked to take them to Kim Kardashian, when he refused to do so, he was handcuffed and was kept at gunpoint. Kim was in her bathrobe and shouted "who's there" after she heard footsteps outside her room when she was about to call her bodyguard she saw two men entering her room, one of which had a ski mask on while the other didn't, both of them wearing black hood and police written on them.
And who they were in real? They were Paris's infamous home jackers. These robbers keep up with the rich people online and steal them directly in their homes, they usually don't retort to physical violence but can do so if necessary to save themselves, in one of the cases the thieves even had the audacity to call the family back to get the documents, as they couldn't sell any of the stolen jewelry directly. Coming to Kim Kardashian, she had flaunted her diamond ring on social media and lots of jewels before landing in Paris, she also claimed that she had carried almost everything she had in her collection with her.

Coming back to the incident, the man with a ski mask on approached her and asked her to hand over her diamond engagement ring, which was worth around 4 million dollars, so Kim didn't easily give it up and said she doesn't know about the ring, but soon recollected her memory after she was held at the gunpoint. She was escorted to a landing point by another man where she thought to make a run, only to find out that the elevator didn't work, then the man took her into the bedroom and pushed her on the bed and tied her hands with plastic cables when she started to scream, he put a tape across her mouth and dumped her into the bathtub.
The jackers didn't have a hard time finding what they were looking for and reportedly stole a large number of jewels that Kim Kardashian (list in the video below)was carrying with her and is estimated to be around 10 million dollars. After they left, Kim untied herself only fearing that they may come back, describing that the robbers weren't much experienced and argued like kids the whole time they were stealing her jewels.
The home jackers reportedly ran away with the jewels and surprisingly their runaway vehicle were bicycles, which was smart enough as they are not easy to track, but they didn't turn out to be good carriers as one of them dropped a diamond and platinum cross on the sidewalk.
What incidents took place post this robbery?
Definitely, media outlets covered the incident non-stop on their channels and social media, but for some folks, the world turned upside down when the next installment of Keeping Up with the Kardashians was kept on hold indefinitely.
Many narratives were created, and the world was split into two, definitely, one was supporting and empathizing with Kim, while others slammed her for doing it all for attention, claiming justification for the reasons as though why she had to travel with so many jewels. If this was the concern of a few, many loyal fans of Kim clapped back by simply saying that she is a celebrity and she has to look good all the time for all the media attention she gets, and hence carrying jewels was definitely reasonable.

But still, this didn't satisfy many of her haters who went on to say that her ordeal is all staged as she wasn't bruised enough to called being robbed, and also she had done all of it to get a huge insurance claim. This definitely was pitiful of the one's who thought this and this event didn't go well with Kim, she claimed that she was not only a victim of a violent robbery but she was also being victimized in her own home back in the U.S, and it's not to forget that she was the woman who at gunpoint screamed that
"Please don't kill me, I have babies, don't kill me I have babies, I'm a mom".
She soon filed charges against many media outlets supporting all of the nonsense, but soon dropped it only to find conspiracy theorists to get down with their wisdom online, many saying that she might have not done it for the insurance money, but maybe she wanted to be more famous. It doesn't fit into the picture as the lady who is already more famous than the sun, would never risk being become a criminal just to get more famous.
After all of this Kim shared her experience on one of the emotional episodes of Keeping Up With The Kardashians recalling the horrifying experience, the clip provided below:
But what had happened to the robbers?
Many of the criminal masterminds were apprehended in total and one was also caught whose DNA was found on the site, he admitted to his crime but soon revealed that he had a hard time selling the jewels as it was very well known and extracting the diamonds was a tough job either.

In total, 11 suspects were apprehended by the police, and the robbers of Kim's famous Robbery are termed as "Grandpa Robbers" as all of them were aged between 44 to 72.
But later it was found that the five men who entered the hotel and robbed Kim were indeed aged 60 to 72 and thus the term was very relevant. The trial on them is yet to begin.
One of the suspects named Yunice Abbas,67, actually owed up to his crime and went as far as to write a book called, "I kidnapped Kim Kardashian" and he was the one who had dropped the diamond-encrusted cross across the pathway. He wrote" It was not a hard job and had taken only 5 to 7, mins from the entry to exit as the victim handed over the jewels without any resistance.
He's also hoping to get a light sentence owing to his honesty and provided that he's an ailing heart patient.

As for the missing jewelry, it's very likely everything was taken apart and sold individually and could possibly be sitting in Jewelry stores in Antwerp, but according to one expert, it would take less than 6 months or a year that the jewelry will be back again on the fingers of American without realizing how much drama it had created along with it.
That concierge was down with guilt so much that he went as far as writing a letter to Kim saying:
" Dear Kim. When you feel the cold steel of a gun at your neck, it's the moment when remaining calm can mean a difference between life and death, both are lives. I hope you are feeling better ".
She didn't reply.
