During Paris' fashion week, Kim Kardashian was robbed of millions of dollars. Her assailants held a gun to her head as she begged for her life. They took a lot of the expensive jewelry in her possession. Some of it was being rented for fashion week at the time. After the robbery, Kim Kardashian was obviously shaken. Her usual outfits were much less flashy than normal and she refused to look at paparazzi or even acknowledge the existence of anyone except for family. Even though the poor woman has been through a serious ordeal, the internet is still harassing her. They claim that the incident was faked for publicity even though she decided to cancel her show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, for the time being. She is not soaking up any attention from this, she is laying low. When it came out that she was afraid of being sexually assaulted during the ordeal, she was criticized even more. People claimed that she is full of herself for having a natural fear that many people have when under attack by strangers. Kim is under extreme scrutiny even after being attacked.
Do you believe the incident was faked?
Is this incident in any way her fault for flashing her wealth in the past?
In my opinion, I do not think it was faked. The Kardashian family has so much publicity so I don't think they would risk getting in trouble or losing good publicity because of a scandal. Also, Kim Kardashian seems genuinely shaken and disturbed. The incident was IN NO WAY her fault. Almost all celebrities are flashy on social media and that does not mean they deserve to be harassed or robbed.

Well done Maeve! The only issue is that you didn't hyperlink correctly.
Please remind me that you did this as we get into the second quarter.
I can't see why she would have faked such a scary incident. She has so much fame and attention already that there would be no point in faking a robbery. It is impossible for this to be her fault. Flashing your wealth is something that almost anyone who has money will do. The only reason people are saying this is her fault is because the Kardashians are criticized over everything they do; this was just another opportunity for those who are jealous to be more officious.
I don't understand why she would fake it. She doesn't really get anything from being robbed, she lost a ton of money out of it. She should have been more cautious but that is a lot easier to say after something bad happens.
1. I think she has since filed for insurance on her stolen items, therefore I highly that this whole thing was faked. Even though she is known for wanting attention, I don't think she would stoop so low as to fake an incident like this.
2. Anybody with a lot of expensive items is automatically a target for criminals. I do think that her extraneous flashing of her wealth and whereabouts made it easier for the intruders to execute their invasion.
No I don't think that is it fake because she has enough attention already and I don't think that she would want anymore. She was the one that was telling about all of her money.
I don't think that it was fake. It is her fault because she tell everybody that she has a lot of money.
No because there would be no reason to fake it, everyone either likes them or dislikes them or doesn't care. And her getting robbed won't change that. Thousands of people get robbed everyday. She is famous because of her money and the way she flashes her money, so nothing changed, somebody just made a move and got away with millions.
I don't think that this was faked but I feel like this is in part her own fault for making it obvious that she has a lot of money.
Actually that I think of it could have been faked just for attention. honesty wearing really expensive stuff will attract people to come and steal it so it kind of is her fault in a way
I agree to a point. Wearing flashy jewelry is dangerous but at the same time almost every celebrity shows off their wealth.
