“He takes out a weapon and I show him the ring.”
A French newspaper has released the official statement Kim Kardashian gave after she was held at gunpoint in her Paris apartment before being robbed of millions worth of jewellery.
Le Journal du Dimanche, a French newspaper obtained the statement from police and printed it on Sunday, January 15th.
The statement from Kim reads:
“I heard noises at the door, like footsteps, and I asked shouting who was there, no one answered. I called at 02.56 A.M. my bodyguard. I saw through the sliding door two persons coming, plus the man of the reception who was strapped.
The two men were hooded, the one had a ski mask and he had a cap and a jacket with Police written on it.
The second individual had the same clothes Police but didn’t wear ski goggles.
The individual with the ski goggles rips out my Blackberry phone.”
She then detailed the attackers’ appearance:
“The one with the ski goggles was 1,70 meters high, slim, black pants, black boots, he spoke to me in French. He was a European-type individual.
The second individual was also European, he was taller and stayed with the security agent. He was around 1,80 meters high and he was dressed in the same way.
It’s the one with the ski goggles who stayed with me.”
She went on to describe what happened:
“He asked me with a strong French accent where was my ring. It was placed on the bedside table. It costs 4 million dollars.
I answer him that I don’t know, he takes out a weapon and I show him the ring. He pointed the weapon toward me. He takes the ring, he wears gloves. He asked me where the jewels and the money are. They catched me and took me in the lobby. I was wearing a bathrobe, naked underneath.
Then we went in the room again and they pushed me on the bed. And, at this time, they strapped me with plastic cables and tape on my hands, then they taped my mouth and my legs. They carried me in my bathroom, more specifically in my bathtub.”
She told them about what was taken:
“My Vuitton jewelry box was near my bag and at that time, he said something to the other individual, shouting. In my jewelry box, there were two bracelets by Cartier, all with diamonds, a necklace by Jacob all in gold and diamond, diamond earrings by Lauren Schwartz, and the other was by Yanina.
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. A last necklace with my son’s name (Saint) all in diamond. I also had just a cross-shaped diamond, by Jacob. A watch by Rolex all in yellow gold. There were two rings in yellow gold.
I think they robbed me for 5 million dollars. They didn’t rob my cash. They robbed me an iPhone 6, which call number is XXXXX and the Blackberry call number.”
Finally, she told police about how they got away and what happened afterward:
“Then they left, running.
During the heist, they had the hotel’s mobile phone which didn’t stop ringing and they were speaking in French. I thought they said they got to leave.
Then, I removed the tape from my hands and my mouth, I removed the plastic. I realized they were a bit young because of the way they strapped me.
I removed the tape on my legs. I kept a tape around my leg and run to Simone’s room. Then I called my sister Kourtney with Simone’s phone. Simone called her bodyguard because she was hearing some noise.”
She then was asked a series of questions and was allowed to fly home to America.
