The Kardashians appear to be chastened since Kim Kardashian's reported robbery in Paris early Monday with a rare silence on social media, including their favorite outlets Twitter and Instagram.
With the Kardashians going dark on social media, it has left their millions of fans who usually watch their every move wondering what is next. Kylie Jenner's posting of a bathing suit shot from her summer vacation Tuesday night has been the only sign of the Kardashian/Jenner group on social media, the New York Post Page Six wrote.
Johanna Primevert, chief spokeswoman for the Paris police department, told The Associated Press Monday that Kardashian was likely targeted through social media.
"Clearly when you have a star like Kim Kardashian who has, I think, more than 48 million followers on Twitter," Primevert said, according to The AP. "I think this could have happened abroad just as easily as in Paris.
"It was really the celebrity who was targeted, with possessions that had been seen and noticed via social media, and it was these goods that the attackers targeted. It's not the safety in Paris that is involved, it's maybe the security situation in that residence," Primevert continued.
Kardashian said that she was held at gunpoint and later bound and gagged in her private Parisian apartment early Monday morning by robbers who then took a $4.5 million ring and a box of jewelry totaling another $6 million, Variety reported.
The AP wrote that Kardashian left Paris hours after the incident, flying to Manhattan under heavy security. Some, though, have started to question the social media celebrity's story, pointing to the fact that there was no surveillance video inside or outside the exclusive, private hotel, Fox News reported.
"How did Kardashian free herself from being tied up in the bathroom? Or who found Kardashian in the hotel room or bathroom? Where was her security and hotel security personnel or hotel security cameras," private investigator Patricia D'Orsa-Dijamco told Fox News. "If this was a publicity stunt, she could be in big trouble for making a false police report. Does 'Ryan Lochte' sound familiar?"
Lochte, the gold medal-winning U.S. swimmer was charged by Brazilian officials for making a false report after he claimed he was robbed with three other swimmers on the streets of Rio de Janeiro during the Summer Olympics in August, CNN noted.
Even U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer mocked the Kardashian's robbery story during a hearing before the court, TMZ noted.
"The (Supreme Court) was hearing a case on Tuesday where a guy from (California) is arguing it wasn't bank fraud when he drained someone's bank account ... because the bank's money is insured," TMZ wrote.
"Justice Stephen Breyer jumped on the opportunity to show off his pop culture prowess, saying ... 'Even Kardashian's thief, if there is one, believes that all that jewelry is insured. So, it's not theft?'"
