Stars have defended Kim Kardashian, following viscous trolls taking aim at the reality star after being held at gunpoint in Paris.
On Sunday evening, the Armenian’s beauty’s trip to Paris Fashion Week took a terrifying turn as she was held at gunpoint inside her hotel room.
“Kim Kardashian West was held up at gunpoint inside her Paris hotel room this evening, by two armed masked men dressed as police officers,” Kim’s spokesperson told E! News. “She is badly shaken but physically unharmed.”
It has since been reported that the mother-of-two was robbed of ‘millions of dollars worth’ of jewellery, by an alleged five armed men. A source told Reuters that the attack happened around 3 am. A police source said the robbery happened at a luxury residence, not a hotel – as reported earlier.
Since news broke, Twitter users have expressed their shock – however, some chose to joke about Kim’s terrifying ordeal.
Fans, including Kim’s celeb pals, have since taken to Twitter to shut down trolls – with James Corden urging people “to remember that she’s a mother, a daughter, a wife, a friend” and to “Be nice or shut up”.

Fame is interesting. Celebs are supposed to love you guys while also knowing you’d make a meme of our dead bodies to get retweets

Please do not think that I think celebrities are special snowflakes. I just miss empathy, in general, for everyone.

Quick note: Kim Kardashian is a person outside of being a wife/sister/mother and that should be enough reason to care.

Kim Kardashian is a mother, a wife, daughter and sister. Despite the fact that you don’t like her, being held up at gun point is not funny.
