Kim Kardashian has threatened to sue a writer who claimed the Paris robbery was a “publicity stunt”, in an explosive legal letter.
The letter, obtained by TMZ, urges Sharika Soal, a contributor to The Huffington Post, to publish a retraction and an apology for her post, published on October 8, which quoted Kim as saying the robbery was a “publicity stunt gone horribly wrong.”
The Armenian beauty said that the quote is a fabrication, and her lawyers told how the quote was actually pulled from a satirical website, questioning Sharika Soal’s journalistic skills.
The legal letter from Kim’s lawyer read, “The robbery, however, was real, and our client was a victim of a horrifying crime. While Ms. Kardashian West’s sister and bodyguard were out, armed assailants forced their way into the four-bedroom multi-level unit where my client was staying.

“With a gun to his head, they forced a handcuffed concierge to open the door to the level of my client’s unit. The armed men then put a gun to my client, forced her into a bathroom and onto the floor, bound her arms and legs, and demanded her money and jewelery. Both my client and the concierge, who were temporarily held at gun-point together, believed they might be killed at any moment.
“The armed assailants also duct-taped my client’s mouth, and emptied my client’s jewellery box and possession into their backpack, and fled. The robbery was not a hoax nor publicity stunt.
“For you to attempt to twist those horrible and traumatic events of the Paris robbery into a narrative concerning a publicity stunt and purported felony conduct by my client is not only perverse and highly offensive to my client (and to any reasonable person), but actionable,” they wrote.

Meanwhile, Sharika has told TMZ that it’s impossible for her to publish an apology because The Huffington Post have allegedly blocked her out of her account, which she has reportedly explained to Kim’s lawyers.
However, when The Huffington Post were contacted, they urged that it had nothing to do with them, and told how they pulled the story, which was self-published by Sharika, when editors saw it violated terms.
