After news broke yesterday of Kim Kardashianโs horrific attack in Paris her hotel room, critics were quick to slam the incident as nothing more than a โpublicity stuntโ.
The 35-year-old mother-of-two was reportedly bound with packing tape and forced into the bathtub in her luxury apartment by five men who had posed as police officers.
The reality star was unhurt but obviously shaken by the incident, where more than $14 million worth of jewellery was stolen, with her engagement ring believed to be amongst it.

โThe loss amounts to several million euros, mostly jewellery. The total amount is still being evaluated,โ police said.
