Kim Kardashian tearfully recalled being allegedly accused by her ex-husband Ye (formerly Kanye West) of faking her 2016 robbery in Paris “for a TV show.”
The latest episode of The Kardashians, which arrived on Thursday (Dec. 4), centers around the robbery trial with Kim back in Paris reliving the horror from the 2016 events.
While Kardashian didn’t call out Ye by name, it can be assumed she’s talking about her husband at the time of the heist (Kardashian and West got married in 2014 and she filed for divorce in 2021, which was settled in 2022).
“My ex-husband had said, ‘And you faked your robbery for a TV show,’ and had said that in front of all these people,” she said while tearing up. “That was a knife to my heart. Just to think that someone wouldn’t believe you — that’s so close to you, that should know you, that should know how much that affected your life — it just really bothered me. You don’t know who I am.”
At the time of the October 2016 robbery, Ye was actually mid-performance at Meadows Fest in Queens, NYC, and abruptly cut his set short due to a “family emergency” after learning of Kardashian’s status in Paris.
The robbers ended up making off with $10 million in jewelry as she was tied up in the bathroom and held at gunpoint. “To finally be able to go to trial and face these people and hear their accounts and apologies, I’m like, see, guys. It was real. I’m happy it’s over,” she added.
Nearly a decade later, eight of the 10 people (seven men and one woman) involved in the Paris heist were convicted at trial in May and handed sentences ranging from three to eight years in prison. Two individuals were ultimately acquitted.
