Kim Kardashian left in tears describing Kanye West’s ‘unbelievable’ claim about her 2016 Paris robbery
Kim Kardashian got emotional as she recalled ex-husband Kanye West's shocking comments over her 2016 Paris robbery.
The reality star, 45, thought she was going to die when a group of robbers broke into her hotel room at the luxury No Address Hotel that October.
Kardashian had been in the French capital for Paris Fashion week.
She was tied up, held at gunpoint and robbed of $10 million worth of jewels as she pleaded for her life.

Wearing only a robe, she feared she was going to be raped.
The mom-of-four has now revealed how West made a comment that was like 'a knife to my heart.'
Back in May, the law graduate had to recall the horrific ordeal to jurors in court.
And on Thursday night's episode of The Kardashians (December 4), viewers followed along.
Cameras captured the Skims founder's candid reaction to skepticism she faced over the robbery - including from then-husband Kanye West.
The pair began dating in 2012 and welcomed daughter North West, now 12, the following year.
They married in 2014 at a lavish Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy and went on to have three more children: Saint, 10, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6.
But their relationship started straining in 2016 as West began displaying 'erratic behavior.'
Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021 citing 'irreconcilable differences.'
Medics claimed she developed a brain aneurysm from the stress of the divorce, which was finalized in November 2022.
Reflecting on West's comments during her robbery, Kardashian said: "My ex-husband had said, ‘And you faked your robbery for a TV show,’ and had said that in front of all these people."
Tearing up, she added: "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."
She also addressed having to relive her trauma to testify in the trial.
"This was less than 10 minutes of my life. I’ve lived an amazing life," she said of her mindset.
"That’s always given me a little bit of peace, just to know - what was it? Nine, ten minutes? - of pure terror and panic aren’t going to ruin me."
In court, eight out of ten defendants were found guilty; seven men and one woman.
They received sentences of up to eight years behind bars for their part in the crime.
The Kardashians is streaming now on Hulu and Disney+.
