The reality TV star had her wrists and ankles bound with zip ties and duct tape as five masked men conducted the robbery.

Five masked men broke into Kim’s luxury Paris apartment, caught hold of her, bound her wrists and ankles with zip ties and duct tape, and left her in the bathtub, to eventually steal millions of dollars worth of Kim’s jewellery.
In new details that have recently emerged, Kim Kardashian told the police that she feared in that moment that she was going to be raped.

At the time that these men broke in, early Monday morning, Kim was asleep in just a robe when she heard the robbers barrelling up the stairs of her two-story apartment, according to TMZ.

Kim’s phone was snatched out of her hands before she could call for help, but her friend, Simone Harouche–who was in a bedroom downstairs–managed to lock herself in the bathroom and call Kim’s personal bodyguard Pascal Duvier, who was out at a nightclub with Kourtney and Kendall, less than two miles away.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, the 35-year-old reality star begged for life, screaming that she had two children, as five masked men dressed in clothes with police markings bound her wrists and ankles with zip ties and duct tape before leaving her in the bathtub.

Though Kim did not understand a word of the French those men were speaking, she heard them repeating “ring, ring” before she realised they were searching for her 20-carat emerald-cut Lorraine Schwartz ring, given to her by husband Kanye West, reports TMZ.

She soon told them where the ring was, in a hope to get rid of them. The ring is worth USD 4.5 million and last seen on Kim’s finger in a Snapchat post earlier that night.

The men, who reportedly held the concierge at gunpoint to be able to enter the building, also stole a jewellery box worth USD 6.7 million before escaping on rented bicycles that are available throughout Paris, reports Daily Mail.
Kim’s bodyguard returned to the apartment two minutes after the men escaped. Her former bodyguard, Steve Stanulis, suggested that it was an inside job.

Later, Kim left for New York–with her bodyguard, Pascal Duvier–on a private jet, to be met with husband Kanye West at the New York airport.

Just hours before the raid, Duvier had tweeted, “You don’t become a bodyguard over night. It’s a job with dedication, responsibility and passion. (sic)”

Duvier has been at Kim and Kanye’s side since 2014.

According to Daily Mail, Steve Stanulis, a security specialist who has worked for Kim and Kanye in the past, blamed the reality-TV star for broadcasting her jewellery on social media. He also suggested possibilities of an inside job.

He told Daily Mail, “Look, they had this coming to them. They do not respect the importance of security when you have a profile as strong as theirs. I saw this happening. It just had to with the way Kim flaunts her riches and her diamonds.”

Kim has reportedly also lost two of her smart phones, which are expected to contain a lot of personal information.
Kim was in Paris for Paris Fashion Week. Kim and Kanye’s kids, North and Saint, were not believed to be in the room at the time.
