Kim Kardashian's Paris robbery is making headlines today, but it didn't take long for rumors to start swirling that the multi-million dollar jewelry heist is nothing but a hoax.
Was the robbery staged to help Kanye out of debt, something he tweeted about several months ago? Or did Kardashian "Momager" Kris Jenner need a compelling storyline that will give Keeping Up with the Kardashians a much-needed ratings boost when the 13th season premieres this fall?
Kanye was in Queens, New York performing at the Meadows Festival on Sunday and left his show mid-set when he learned about the incident. However, Kris Jenner was in Paris with her daughters Kim, Kourtney, and Kendall, although they did not stay at the same apartment where Kim was reportedly robbed on Sunday night.
Many news reports indicate that the robbery did indeed happen. However, there are some inconsistencies with the story. People reports that Kim "managed to squeeze her hands out of wrist ties" that the robbers allegedly put on her, but their source goes on to say that "she had a gun to her head the whole time." How did she break out of her wrist ties while they had a gun to her head is the question many skeptics are pondering.
The Federalist questions the validity of the whole situation, pointing to the possibility that it could be "some sort of stunt" — perhaps one that goes beyond Kris Jenner's desire to keep fans interested in her reality show.
"Is it possible the robbery is a hoax or some sort of stunt? Kanye has been very vocal about his money woes. Is it possible this is an elaborate plot to collect insurance money in an effort to solve her husband's cash flow problem?"
