Kim screamed and pleaded for the robbers not to kill her. She tried to tell them that she had children, and that they could have whatever they wanted. While the intruders did not speak English, they knew one important word: ring. Referring to the new ring she received from her husband Kanye West.
Breaking news has finally come out regarding how Kim was able to escape and get help after the robbers left the apartment. According to E! News, Kim was not alone in the apartment when the robbers showed up.
Simone Harouche, Kim’s close friend and stylist, was also inside the apartment at the No Address Hotel with Kim. Upon hearing the commotion, Simone locked herself in a bathroom downstairs.
“Simone texted [Kim’s bodyguard] Pascal Duvier and Kourtney Kardashian,” one source explained. “She couldn’t dial 911 from her phone.”
Once the robbers left with more than $10 million in stolen jewelry, Kim ran to Simone with duct tape on her legs and reportedly told Simone to hop off the balcony to get free.
Eventually Hotel security and the police arrived on the scene. Before flying back to New York City, Kim gave a statement to the authorities to share the terrifying story. Simone Harouche is now back in Los Angeles.
Kim was understandably “shaken up,” but was lucky to escape with her life in this scary ordeal.
