Fans react as Kim Kardashian reveals harrowing details of Paris robbery

DUBAI: In the latest episode of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” that aired Sunday, Kim Kardashian shared details of the moment she believed she was going to be sexually assaulted during the Paris robbery that made headlines in October of last year.
Emotional fans took to Twitter after the episode aired to show support for Kardashian who described in detail what happened during the incident when thieves made off with an estimated $10 million worth of jewels and left the reality star bound and gagged in a bathroom.
Speaking directly to the camera, she explained that her mouth was duct taped and she had a gun held to her head.
“He grabs my legs, and I wasn’t, you know, I had no clothes on under. He pulled me toward him at the front of the bed and I thought, ‘Okay, this is the moment they’re going to rape me’.”
She continued: “I fully mentally prepped myself — and then he didn’t. He duct-taped my legs together and had the gun up to me. I knew that was the moment they’re just totally going to shoot me in the head.
“I just prayed that Kourtney’s [Kim Kardashian’s sister] going to have a normal life after she sees my dead body on the bed...like, I’m not going to make it out of here. I know how these things go.”
Fans took to social media to show support with the hashtag #HereForKim.

One user commented: “You are one of the strongest and bravest people I know of! We will always be here to support you #HereForKim!”

Meanwhile, others claimed to have newfound respect for the star.

Shot in the warm, diffused light of a pottery artist’s studio, the campaign centers on elongated shapes, clean lines, and a muted palette of sage and sand tones.

Al-Zuhair has begun the year with a series of high-profile appearances. In addition to the Loro Piana campaign, she walked the runway at Jacquemus’ Fall/Winter 2026 “Le Palmier” show in Paris last month.

The event, staged at the Musee National Picasso, brought Simon Porte Jacquemus’ latest co-ed collection to life with playful yet sculptural silhouettes, blending mid-century couture references and 1990s sensibilities.

“Merci infiniment Simon. It was an honor to be part of this iconic show with such an amazing team, congratulations! Thank you for having me,” posted Al-Zuhair.

The model closed a segment of the show in an ensemble that captured the collection’s nod to both elegant simplicity and bold form.

She wore a black midi skirt with a structured blazer top with cutout detail at the back, cinched at the waist with a wide belt. The look was completed with a wide-brimmed hat that added a touch of drama.

The Jacquemus presentation, which also acted as the finale of Paris Men’s Fashion Week, wove together confetti-like motifs, geometric forms and a celebration of joie de vivre, encapsulating Jacquemus’ irreverent yet refined vision ahead of the upcoming couture season.

Al-Zuhair, born in Paris to a French mother and Saudi father, has appeared on the runway for renowned fashion houses.

She has walked for Missoni, Maison Alaia, Brunello Cucinelli, Balmain, Dolce & Gabbana, Giambattista Valli, Giorgio Armani, Elie Saab and more.

In addition to her runway appearances, Al-Zuhair has featured in campaigns for brands including Prada, Chanel and Carolina Herrera.
