Kim Kardashian was back to a deeply traumatic chapter in her life, forcing her to confront the lingering emotional scars from an ordeal that took place nearly a decade ago, which was given a different shape by Kanye West. What was the opinion made by West that left an impact on Kardashian, and why are fans taking the side of West?

In the recent episode of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian tearfully revealed that her ex-husband, Ye (Kanye West), had accused her of faking her harrowing 2016 Paris robbery for a reality television storyline.

She expressed her devastation over the betrayal in The Kardashians, stating that his accusation made in front of all these people was like a "knife to my heart." The robbery, which occurred during Paris Fashion Week, involved masked men dressed as police breaking into her hotel, tying her up, and stealing over $10 million in jewelry.

While facing her assailants in court was undoubtedly difficult, Kardashian revealed a parallel, more personal source of pain that she was forced to carry long after the initial crime.

The long-standing speculation that the incident was a hoax or a publicity stunt was echoed by some fans who, upon hearing Kim Kardashian's latest confession, sided with Kanye West's skepticism. They pointed to the narrative nature of her life and the history of public scrutiny, suggesting that the "hoax" theory felt probable to them, despite the convictions of eight defendants in May 2025.

A significant number of fans are expressing outright doubt regarding the veracity of the robbery, suggesting that Ye might be telling the truth about it being fabricated.
