Forget the historic presidential debate occurring, the obvious queen of current events is Kim Kardashian. Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in her luxurious Paris hotel building on October 3rd, 2016. $10 million worth of jewels were stolen by a pack of five men posing as cops. People are beginning to wonder if this crime was committed for more money and fame or if it was a true act of violence. Despite all of the questioning imposed by deranged packs of conspiracy theorists and people who hate the Kardashian clan, it is a true fact that Kardashian was robbed against her will.

Many of those who believed that Kim Kardashian’s robbery was a setup simply dislike her as a person, making them automatically bias. The robbery was trending on Twitter and many of the tweets consisted of people describing how they hoped the robbery was a set up so that Kim would be exposed and how they believed the robbery was, in the words of multiple Twitter users, just as fake as her. Social media users, specifically those that loathe Kardashian, have no entitlement when it comes to jumping to the conclusion on whether or not Kardashian was actually robbed; that is unless they were there (and, unless you’re a Parisian hotel concierge or a robber that is now rolling in $10 million worth of Kardashian jewels, you probably weren’t there). However, people are entitled to their opinions no matter how much law enforcement and cold-hard facts disprove them.

  Moreover, why would an A-list celebrity with a net-worth of $150 million, plenty of social media followers, a clothing and perfume line, equally successful family members, and a prosperous reality show stage a robbery? It is obvious that Kim Kardashian has already climbed the top of the fame ladder and there isn’t much higher she can climb; so staging a robbery is unnecessary. Being that Kardashian is an A-list celebrity, she undoubtedly does not have enough time to hire five men to hold her at gunpoint, fake-steal her jewels, and release all of this to the media. Although she has been known for a few publicity stunts, no sane person would pull something as horrid as this.

Alongside this, in most media tabloids it is obvious that Kim Kardashian is much more reserved than she once was. Now she often clutches her children to her with a hoodie drawn, intentionally avoiding paparazzi and any other person that could potentially pose a threat to her or her family. Kardashian went from an open, confident stance while in front of paparazzi and fans to a reserved, almost terrified stance. For someone who supposedly made up this travesty, Kardashian sure acts as if she experienced something extremely traumatizing.

It is ludicrous to believe that Kardashian would have planned out this entire situation. She appears to be more reserved in many photos, a sign that she went through something traumatizing. No matter how much people claim that this robbery was a hoax, it is undeniable that she appears different in photos. Kardashian went to Paris for fashion shows, not to plan out and execute a full-fledged robbery to gain even more fame and money.
