But don't you think that a lot of that despisement is really just a form of jealousy or "class envy"? Kim lives a life of luxury that most people can only dream of. It's not just the wealth but the fame that goes along with it. I have no doubt that many of those people who make disparaging remarks about Kim do so out of envy.

What I wonder is, where were the E! cameras, since they pretty much film everything for Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Although, they may have filmed her at whatever event she was in Paris for, and not at the hotel. You can be sure they will exploit this event in an episode, with a sobbing Kim in Kanye's arms "I was sooooooo scared!!" Not to make light if this is on the up and up, I've never had a gun pointed at me, and I can't imagine how scary that would be.

True there is envy but maybe also a little resentment thrown in. Here is someone who has not done anything to deserve her fame and fortune, has everything handed to her and try as anyone might to avoid it the media will not shut up about her and forces everyone to see news stories about her every move day and night.


But for me personally I really feel a little bit of the detective on this one. Her husband appears to be broke. They have a long history of staging events for publicity.They have a new show coming up. The timing seems off, the story does not add up.

Wasnt it also recently her brother (or was it his fiance)who claimed to be robbed of jewelry too? I just do not know what to make of this I really don't

Oh yeah definitely. Something about this supposed "robbery" seems a bit off. I mean really, she was carrying around $10 million worth of jewelry and it just so happened to get stolen?

Her wealth does not make her an automatic target for hatred, her ugly personality and behavior does.

Nope. If this happened to a famous wealthy woman like Jennifer Aniston or Julia Louis-Dreyfus the public reaction would be different. The K family behaves outrageously to keep attention on themselves, that is how they make the dough. Someone like a respected actor or business person doesn't have to pull stunts to make bank. Then there is Kanye. Much to be suspicious of.

I would be interested in the life of luxury. This chick and her fam do absolutely nothing.. They don't have to do the 8 to 5, rat race, dog eat dog work environment. They make millions via their reality tv show that is so extremely stupid and meaningless.

Also, the perks. She somehow made Airbnb give her a 25k a month apt in NYC for free. Her lil sis has free Lyft rides for 1 year.

I envy nothing about her. Seriously? No thank you.

Which is worse that it really happened and she is probably traumatized or that it was a fake and she is actually fine?
If you had a basis for your suspicions sure. What indicates to you that this is a lie? Do you doubt every victim or just a Kardashian? What is your basis for doubting a Kardashian?

Kim's dad was a lawyer and they were friends with OJ and Nicole. I doubt Kim would mess around with claims of violence and crime considering how that murder and trial impacted her family. She may be unlikeable but she's not a heartless idiot. People are making subjective judgements because they don't like her. Unlike others I can separate my dislike for her from this story. Until there is a reason to believe she's making it up why would you think she is? Just because you don't like her and think she's shallow or whatever other adjective you want to use to describe her?

She was bound and gagged. Definitely an inside job.
