Following the recent new of 17 arrests related to the hotel room robbery Kim Kardashian was the victim of while staying at the Hôtel de Pourtalèsin (above) in Paris, Le Journal du Dimanche has published Kardashian’s statement to the police on what took place that night.
In the statement, Kardashian said she returned to her room at midnight with her sister, Kourtney Kardashian and her assistant, Stephanie Sheppard. At 1:00 AM, the two changed clothes and left, and Kardashian went upstairs to her computer to work.
Two hours later, she heard noises at the door and when she shouted and asked who was there, no one responded. Concerned, Kardashian said she called her bodyguard at 2:56 AM. When she heard noises at her door, she looked through the peephole and saw the lobby security guard and two men.
According to Kardashian, the two men then entered her room, both were wearing ski masks and shirts with police written on them. One of the two men was wearing ski goggles, and Kardashian said he immediately grabbed her Blackberry phone, and asked her in French where her ring was. When Kardashian said she didn’t know, he pulled out a gun and she revealed the ring was on a desk next to her bed.
After taking the ring, Kardashian was brought out to the hallway and not long after, brought her back to the room. Wearing only a bathrobe, she was pushed onto the bed by the same two men who tied her up with a combination of plastic ties and tape. While on the bed, Kardashian watched the two men empty out and take some of the items in her bag. They then carried her into the bathroom and placed her in the bathtub.
Kardashian also detailed all the items the were stolen from her. “In my [Louis Vuitton] jewelry box, there were two diamond bracelets by Cartier, a gold and diamond Jacob [the Jeweler] necklace, Lauren Schwartz diamond earrings, and Yanina earrings,” said Kardashian, who added, “There were three necklaces by Jacob all in gold, little bracelets, jewels, rings. A necklace by Lauren Schwartz all in diamonds, another necklace with six little diamonds on it, and a diamond necklace with my son’s name [Saint], and a yellow gold Rolex watch. There were also yellow gold rings.”
While she had cash, Kardashian said the thieves didn’t take it, though they did take her iPhone 6. Throughout the heist, one of the two men had the hotel’s mobile phone, which rang throughout the robbery.
Not long after they took off running, Kardashian said, “I removed the tape from my hands and my mouth, I removed the plastic cables,” adding “I realized they were a bit inexperienced because of the way they tied me up.” She then ran to Sheppard’s room and used her phone to call her sister, Kourtney. Sheppard at that point had already called Kardashian’s bodyguard after hearing noises outside her bedroom.
Following her statement, Kardashian said wasn’t hurt, and wanted to leave to return home to her children.
