Kim’s night of hell
Kim Kardashian’s own chilling account of what happened during her gunpoint robbery, including how she was ambushed, surfaced for the first time Sunday.
The 36-year-old reality star gave a blow-by-blow description in her statement to Parisian police right after she was held up, according to Le Journal du Dimanche, which obtained the interview.
Kardashian, who had been in Paris for Fashion Week, recalled how she had come back to her posh rented pad with sister Kourtney and pal Simone Harouche around midnight Oct. 3.
After the two women left around 1 a.m., Kardashian said, she went upstairs, slipped into a bathrobe and started doing some work.
“I heard a noise at the door like footsteps, and I screamed, demanding to know who it was. But nobody responded,” she told cops. “I saw through the peephole two people coming, plus the man from reception who was brought along.”
The concierge has said the gunmen forced him to take them to Kardashian’s door.
“The two men were hooded, the one had a ski mask and the other with a motorcycle helmet and a vest that said ‘Police’ on it,” Kardashian said. “The individual with the ski goggles rips out my BlackBerry phone.”
She said one of the robbers was a “European-type individual” who spoke to her in French, was thin and dressed all in black.
“He asked me with a strong French accent where my ring was. It was placed on the bedside table. The ring is worth $4 million.”
Kardashian said that at first, she took a risk and denied knowing where her treasured sparkler was — but folded when the thug waved his weapon at her.
“He takes out a gun, and so I show him the ring,” she told cops. “He pointed the gun at me. He took the ring using his gloves. He asked me about the other jewels and money.
“I was in a bathrobe with nothing on underneath. Then we went in the room again, and [the robbers] pushed me on the bed.
“That’s when they tied me up with plastic cables and duct tape on my hands. Then they taped my mouth and my legs.”
The robbers emptied everything out of her purse and moved onto her jewelry box, she said.
The box was filled with gems, including two Cartier diamond bracelets, a Jacob & Co. gold and diamond necklace, Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings, a diamond crossshaped necklace, a yellowgold Rolex and a necklace with her son Saint’s name in diamonds.
“I think they robbed me for $5 million. They didn’t rob my cash,” Kardashian told police. “Then they left, running.”
As soon as they were gone, Kardashian said, she broke free from her restraints.
“I realized they were a bit inexperienced because of the way they tied me up,” she said.
The release of the police statement comes just days after French authorities arrested 17 people in connection with the robbery.
