Robbery account

Kardashian detailed the events of October 2-3, 2016, when she was robbed in her hotel room.
She was staying at the No Address hotel in central Paris, and while her best friend, sister, friend, and mother were out for the night, she heard "stomping" up the stairs and saw people "who I assumed were police officers because they were in uniform" enter her room.
"They pointed guns at me, and I was like, 'This is it. I'm going to die.'"
