Kardashian Sues Gossip Site Over Fake Robbery Claims

Kim Kardashian filed a suit against a website on Tuesday for alleging that she had staged an armed robbery in Paris. The robbery had left her traumatized, her sister said.

The reality TV star filed a defamation lawsuit in New York against MediaTakeOut.com, a US celebrity gossip site. The website, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment, reported that Kardashian had faked the robbery. Furthermore, it said that the celebrity then filed a fraudulent insurance claim.

Paris police said that early on October 3, the 35-year old celebrity was robbed at gunpoint. The masked men got away with some $10 million in jewelry after they tied her up in her Paris apartment.

Since the robbery, Kim has stopped her other business and social engagements. Meanwhile, the Kardashian’s TV show “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” has been put on hold.

Khloe made the first TV appearance on Tuesday by a family member since the robbery incident. She said the incident had been a “wake-up call” to the family.

She told US television show host Ellen DeGeneres that Kim is not doing that well but their family is super close and they’ll get through it together.

Website charged for defamation

The lawsuit pursues unspecified damages for defamation. It cites both MediaTakeOut.com and Fred Mwangaguhunga, its founder, as defendants.

“After having been the victim of a horrific and traumatic armed robbery in France, Kim Kardashian returned to the United States only to again be victimized, but this time by an online gossip tabloid that published a series of articles in early October 2016 referring to her a liar and thief,” the lawsuit said.

It also stated that Mwangaguhunga declined to publish a retraction and an apology.

The reality TV star has been slammed for putting herself at risk by posting images of her engagement ring and other jewelries online in the days prior to the Paris incident.

After the much publicized Paris heist, Kim maintained a low profile with the media in New York. On Monday she hastily left Paris after five men robbed her of jewelries amounting to $10 million. Except on Thursday when Kim and her husband, Kanye West caught a bit of sunshine.

The family headed out from their New York apartment. Kim wearing a baseball cap matched with white hoodie carried her 3 year old daughter, North. The hoodie partially covered her face from the prying eyes of paparazzi. Kanye West followed carrying their 10 month old son Saint.

The plane landed in Los Angeles Thursday afternoon. Kim and her mom, Kris Jenner along with the 2 kids were seen leaving the plane as Kanye stayed behind.

Kim and her family were in France for the Paris Fashion Week. The reality star of “Keeping up with the Kardashians,” is now back at home in LA. Kim does not have any distinct plans on when she will resume filming on the reality show.

The crew was not filming when the Paris heist took place.

E! Network released a statement on Thursday in USA Today saying, “Kim’s well-being is our core focus right now. No decision has been made as to when production will resume.” The last episode aired on September 4.

On the other side of the world, in Paris France, police authorities are having a hard time tracking down the perpetrators. Because of the small number of CCTV’s in the private apartment where Kim stayed at the upscale 8th district residence.

Five men entered their luxury apartment dressed as police officers and wearing masks. The suspects gagged, bound and put her in the bathtub then held her at gunpoint. The robbers escaped with $10 million worth of jewelry including her engagement ring worth $4.5 million. They escaped on bicycles.

Sympathy and support from fans

Kim stopped her otherwise lively social media interaction after the Paris incidence. Her family is slowly inching their way back to social media. Netizens went wild and joined the frenzy post about her frightful ordeal.

Social media post mostly consists of sympathy and support for the reality star. Her sister Kourtney posted on her Twitter account a very inspiring quote from the book “Jesus calling with a prayer” emoji. It reads as “Remember that joy is not dependent on your circumstances. Some of the world’s most miserable people are those whose circumstances seem the most enviable. People who reach the top of the ladder career-wise are often surprised to find emptiness awaiting them. True joy is a by-product of living in My Presence. Therefore you can experience it in palaces, in prisons…anywhere.”

Kanye West Spends $7.6 million to Beef Up Security for Kim Kardashian After Paris Incident

The famous singer, Kanye West spends $7.6 million to tighten security around his family after the Paris robbery incident. It even consists of the reality star Kim Kardashian’s look alike on round the clock duty to keep her whereabouts secret.

He recruited the same online security team which guided the White House of deflecting social media posts that may leak locations of their principals.

West took drastic measures to secure his wife and family after the Paris Heist. Kim, 35 was gagged, bound and thrown in a bathtub where she was held at gunpoint.

The robbery happened in a luxury residence in Paris 3 am on Monday. The suspects took her jewelry including her engagement ring amounting to $10 million. They escaped using hired bikes and still at large. The reality star was “badly shaken but physically unharmed” according to a source.

The perpetrators, allegedly monitored Kim’s movements for three days prior to the robbery. One of the suspects disguised himself as a police officer and the other as a photographer, both sporting French accents.

“We will find you. You messed with the wrong one.” Kim’s bodyguard, Pascal Duvier warned the suspects. He added, “The events in Paris was one of the most sickening things I have seen or heard. We have tips and leads and we will find you – that I promise you. You messed with the wrong one.”

Fortunately, their children, Saint, 10 months old and North, three years old was not in the room with her.

A source said “Kanye’s never been lax about security, he takes the safety of his wife very seriously.

The source also explained, “The whole family are under round-the-clock protection. He even lent Kim’s mum Kris his own personal security when she sacked hers after an intruder broke into her house while Kim was there”.

A few year back, Kanye hired a decoy for their son North for situations he needed distraction from the press. According to the source, Kanye wants them full-time and on payroll.

On Sunday night Kanye abruptly left his concert after learning about the Paris incidence while Kim flew back home on a private plane. Kanye has since postponed two other tour concerts.

Beefed up security

The upgraded security measures became noticeable on Monday. 20 hired bodyguards and police escort the couple to their penthouse apartment.

Their substantially improved security improvements include installing cameras in every room, even the closets. The couple can view the footage remotely 24/7.

The celebrity couple purchased “bullet-proof, bomb-proof” armored vehicles with matching anti-assault technology amounting to $1.2million. They are now thinking of installing the same capabilities around their $20 million home in Hidden Hills, California.

The famous singer is now reviewing their social media usage. Because Kim posted a Snapchat post from her apartment two hours before the robbery wearing her 20 carat engagement ring worth $4.5million. Kanye turned to the same security agency employed by the US President to at least delay posts and stop locations from being traced.

Kim’s half-sister, Kylie Jenner received warnings from the police about using social media sites secretly utilizing geo-filter application settings.

Meanwhile, on the Paris heist investigation, the luxury apartment where Kim stayed only had one security guard and not a single CCTV camera. Charles Pellegrini, the ex-head of France’s anti-organized crime squad, slammed the security saying, “I’m personally amazed at how her security was handled”.
