TIED AND TERRIFIED
What Kim told Paris cops of heist
KIM KARDASHIAN’S harrowing account to French police of being forcibly tied up and robbed at gunpoint last year was made public for the first time Sunday.
The reality star’s statement to authorities on Oct. 2 — which she gave hours after thieves broke into her Paris hotel room and stole more than $5 million worth of jewelry — was published Sunday by French newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche.
In the chilling first-person account, Kardashian recalled hearing a knock on the door as criminals dressed as police officers waited on the other side with the hotel’s receptionist, who was being held captive.
“I heard a noise at the door, like footsteps, and I shouted, asking, ‘Who’s there?’ No one answered. I called my bodyguard at 2:56 a.m. Through the door, I saw two people arrive, plus the night man, who was tied up,” she told police according to the report, which was in English.
“The two men were hooded, the one had a ski mask and he had a cap and a jacket with ‘Police’ written on it,” she continued. “The second individual had the same clothes (with) ‘Police’ but didn’t wear ski goggles.”
Speaking English with a heavy French accent, one of the men then asked Kardashian where she was keeping her $4 million engagement ring, to which she initially replied she didn’t know, according to the report.
“He takes out a weapon and I show him the ring. He pointed the weapon toward me. He takes the ring, he wears gloves,” Kardashian continued.
“He asked me where the jewels and the money are. They catched (sic) me and took me in the lobby.”
“I was wearing a bathrobe, naked underneath. Then we went in the room again and they pushed me on the bed,” she said.
“And, at this time, they strapped me with plastic cables and tape on my hands, then they taped my mouth and my legs. They carried me in my bathroom, more specifically in my bathtub.”
Kardashian, 36, also told cops the men threw her onto her bed at one point and cleared out her handbag, according to the report.
She didn’t think they took anything that was in her bag, and instead focused on her jewelry box, which was filled with highpriced items including a pair of Cartier bracelets, multiple gold necklaces, bracelets and a necklace with her son Saint’s name written in diamonds.
Overall, Kardashian believed the thieves took $5 million worth of items, including her iPhone 6 and BlackBerry. She managed to break free of the restraints shortly after the armed gang left.
“I removed the tape from my hands and my mouth, I removed the plastic,” she told police. “I realized they were a bit young because of the way they strapped me.”
Kardashian then rushed to her friend’s room and called her sister Kourtney Kardashian, who was also in Paris and had gone out earlier that night.
Police made 17 arrests in connection to the robbery earlier this month, with 10 being charged last week.
A rep for Kardashian did not immediately respond to a Daily News request for comment.
