Kanye West Thought Kim Kardashian 'Faked' Paris Robbery
On 'The Kardashians,' Kim Kardashian teared up as she admitted Kanye West accused her of fabricating her 2016 Paris robbery.
The mom-of-four addressed speculation that she faked the ordeal for ratings, admitting even the rapper — whom she was still married to at the time — didn't believe her.
"My ex-husband had said, ‘And you faked your robbery for a TV show,’ and had said that in front of all these people. That was a knife to my heart," confessed Kardashian, 45.
Kardashian admitted the rapper's accusation 'really bothered' her.
"Just to think that someone wouldn’t believe you — that’s so close to you, that should know you, that should know how much that affected your life — it just really bothered me," she continued. "You don’t know who I am."
