Kim Kardashian: Paris Heist Called A Hoax

Kim Kardashian shocked the nation with a tale of brutal robbery that left her bound and gagged in her luxury Paris apartment! It seemed like a shocking truce crime committed against the reality-show diva — but now the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star is caught up in charges of faking the whole thing! Here are the 10 top reasons that people are now questioning Kim's story about being robbed of millions in jewelry...

The Victim Didn't Hang Around: Kim Kardashian still had her bodyguards in the city, but promptly fled Paris just hours after being robbed. She didn't seem very interested in helping to identify the culprits if they were caught shortly after the heist.

Somebody Opened The Door: Even some law-enforcement sources in Paris have stepped up to reveal that cops can't figure out how the robbers got into Kim's apartment. A concierge (who has yet to make any media appearances) was supposedly taken hostage to let the robbers get to Kim's door — but it's made of steel, and a famous beauty alone at 3 a.m. wouldn't be in a hurry to open her door to anyone. (Some sources report that Kim had a female friend staying downstairs, but that only raises more questions.)

It Was Fashion Week: This wasn't a typical Sunday night — it was the end of a week where Kim had been parading around Paris in very expensive outfits and jewelry while attending designer shows. Also, she'd already been accosted by a "celebrity prankster" just days before the robbery. That's a time for being on high alert, and Kim's a veteran famous gal by now.

Kim The Heroine: The official account says that Kim had been put in plastic ties, and managed to free herself — which has inspired lots of mockery from her fans. "When did Kim become Houdini?" laughed one online commenter.

Paris Is Watching Out For Trouble: There have been enough terrorist attacks to already have the Parisian police on high alert, and Kim's home at the Hotel de Pourtales is also a popular destination for celebrity guests. But, somehow, not a single distress call was made during the robbery.

Her Kids Were Extremely Safe And Sound: Both North and Saint were along with Kim in Paris — but not in her hotel room, or even the same hotel!

Kim Was Left Locked Inside A Bathroom: That's what the official Kardashian spokesman said — which has people wondering why a Parisian luxury complex offers bathroom doors that lock from outside.

Paris Police Aren't Talking: This is international news, and Parisian politicians and cops aren't any different from their American equivalent in grabbing the spotlight and reassuring the public that they're on the case. That's not happening in Paris.

Security's Proud Profile: You'd think that the head of Kim's security detail would be avoiding the spotlight, or even fired after a scary home invasion — especially with husband Kanye West being famously demanding of staffers. Instead, Pascal Duvier (pictured) has stepped up in his usual self-promoting style, using social media to declare: "We have tips and leads and we will find you. That I promise you...you messed with the wrong one."

Careful Timing: Kanye West got the news about Kim being robbed onstage when he had about thirty minutes left in a performance that he was giving in Queens, N.Y. That allowed the rapper to abruptly leave the stage in a dramatic display that really made no sense. "The guy wasn't going to fly to Paris to comfort Kim," said one angry concertgoer — and Kanye (who took the stage 30 minutes late) got the news far enough in the show that he didn't have to worry about offering refunds.
