INTERVIEW: Kris Jenner Discusses Kim Kardashian & The Paris Robbery On Ellen

Kris Jenner Discusses Kim Kardashian & The Paris Robbery On Ellen

Kris Jenner still cries when she hears Kim Kardashian retell the tale of the Paris robbery.

Kris Jenner recently made a visit to Ellen, and she spoke frankly about how Kim's burglary in Paris made her feel. Here's an excerpt of what she had to say:

"The first episode you're going to see is when the girls were in Miami, doing something with the Dash stores, and then the Paris incident happened ... It was devastating ... When we started filming again and started getting up and running, obviously Kim was around because we all practically live together on the same street ... We started filming and what was coming out of that was very therapeutic for her, I think, to just explain to us and walk us through [the robbery]."

Check out the video of Kris Jenner on Ellen below, and let us know what you think in the comments. Has Kris successfully put the robbery conspiracy theories to rest?

Kim Kardashian’s Alleged Robber Confirms Social Media Helped Him Plan Heist

The alleged ringleader of the group that robbed Kim Kardashian West in early October told French police last week that his team obtained much of the information they needed to pull off the heist from her social media posts, French newspaper Le Monde reports. Aomar Ait Khedache, the implicated 60-year-old veteran robber, whom Le Monde called le vieux, “or old man,” said that the thieves were able to perform an appraisal of Kardashian West’s jewels—and knew all about her trip to Paris—thanks to social media.

“The jewels were shown on the Internet, and [she said] that she didn’t wear fakes . . . the time she would arrive in France, you just had to look at the Internet and you knew everything, absolutely everything,” he said in the police report obtained by Le Monde.

In the days following the October robbery, Paris police chief Christian Sainte hinted to reporter Mark Seal, who detailed the heist in Vanity Fair, that they expected as much. “She gives information on social media all the time,” he replied when asked whether the thieves were following Kardashian West on her feeds back in October.

Khedache, however, also told police that he and his alleged accomplices bolstered those leads with “very precise information” about the reality star’s movements in Paris, thanks to “someone who was very close to her.” They had planned to rob her on a previous trip to the city, he said, but called it off because she was never alone.

The fate of the jewelry has already been sealed, per Khedache, with everything except Kardashian West’s reported $4 million engagement ring having been melted down and sold off. The 20-karat-ring is in “somebody’s” possession, he said, but “we’re all afraid to sell it because it is a stone that is very easy to spot.”

Kim Kardashian's Thieves Melted Down Her Jewelry & Only Made €28,000

Most of Kim Kardashian's stolen jewelry has been melted and sold. Her $4 million engagement ring is the one piece that may still be out there.

After a reclusive end to last year, Kim Kardashian has been back in the spotlight to kick off 2017. Perhaps she's felt more at ease since the arrests of many of those involved in the October jewelry robbery that she was a target of while in Paris. Though 10 suspects -- many of them elderly French gangsters -- have been arrested for the incident, police have said that it is unlikely that Kim will see any of the stolen jewelry again.

In fact, much of the jewelry was "melted down" soon after it was taken, said 60-year-old Aomar Ait Khedache, the alleged mastermind of the whole theft, in his police testimony, excerpts of which were published in the French newspaper Le Monde. 

"For the jewelry never to be recognized, we made the decision to melt them," said Khedache. “One of the people took care of it.” The melted jewelry was then sold in Antwerp, Belgium, a major European hub for (both legal and illegal) jewelry commerce. 

"He came back with bars," said Khedache of the man who melted the jewelry, who returned with over 800 grams of the melted precious metals that were stolen from Kim. For all of that, Khedache and his cohorts allegedly earned somewhere between €25,000 and €28,000. Of course, that amount is but a blip of the value of the jewelry in its original state. 

According to the testimony, everything was melted down save for the most expensive piece: Kim's 20-carat emerald cut engagement ring, which is worth an estimated $4 million. Khedache said that the ring is still intact, and he told police that "there is a person who has it," though it does not seem like he offered a name for that person. "Everyone was afraid to sell," he said of the outrageously priced ring, "because it's a stone that's very easily spotted." 

Khedache, who is known to his fellow criminals and to police as "Old Omar," is currently being held without bail.

Kris Jenner Opens Up About Kim Kardashian's Robbery

NEWS: Doughbeezy In Hospital After Being Pistol Whipped By Home Invaders

 Doughbeezy In Hospital After Being Pistol Whipped By Home Invaders

Houston rapper Doughbeezy was pistol whipped by home invaders before breaking free and shooting one of the suspects.

Houston native Doughbeezy was a victim of a home invasion on Tuesday, which left one suspect dead and one arrested. Reports surfaced today detailing that Doughbeezy was pistol whipped at the hands of the intruders, although he managed to fatally shoot one of his attackers.

According to a report from KHOU 11 News, the incident started at around 9:20 PM outside of the rapper's friend's residence. Two male suspects approached Doughbeezy and his friend's family, pistol whipping him and forcing the family inside their home. After Doughbeezy managed to get a gun from his car, he shot one of the suspects, while another one fled the scene on foot. The second suspect was later found by the police, hiding inside Wendy's. He's been identified as Marquez Romero Heckard. He faces three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of aggravated robbery.

Doughbeezy is currently resting up in the hospital, but as you can see from his now-deleted Instagram post, he's got some serious facial injuries. The deleted Instagram post also had the following caption on what happened:

My life was almost taken from me last night. Nothing or no one but God was watching over me, I’m suppose to be dead. When the gunman got instructed to shoot me, he froze. When they tried to kidnap me in my own car, I was able to fight my way out the car before being pistol whipped. After being pistol whipped, my friend and her family pulled up and we all got instructed to go in the house and that’s when God made a way for to break loose and make it back to my trunk for my pistol. If I never was able to break away for my trunk, I wouldn’t be here today telling you this story.

Stop and take a second to thank God for very thing you have. And when you’re done, take a moment to tell your family and the people close to you that you love them. My daughter will be born in a week and if it wasn’t for God, I wouldn’t be here to see her to see her take her first breath. #Blessed

Thx for all the prayers. I am good. I wont discuss the incident any further. Pls respect me & my families wishes/privacy @ this time Thank U

NEWS: NY TEEN SENTENCED TO NINE YEARS IN PRISON FOR STEALING SNEAKERS

NY TEEN SENTENCED TO NINE YEARS IN PRISON FOR STEALING SNEAKERS

A teenager from Albany, New York has been sentenced to nine years in prison after he robbed another teen's sneakers; a story that has become all too familiar. 17 year-old Marquis Dixon was charged with first-degree robbery for the theft which took place last March- He was facing up to 25 years.

As the story goes;

In March, Marquis Dixon, 17, of Albany arranged through a posting on the social media site to buy the sneakers. When Dixon met the other 17-year-old, who lived in Coeymans, at a McDonald's parking lot on South Pearl Street at 9:30 p.m., he displayed what looked like a handgun and fled with the sneakers, District Attorney David Soares' office said. The other teen was unharmed.

Nine years for a pair of kicks! He should've spent more time worrying about what his barber was doing rather than trying to rip a kid off for a pair of Js.

In reality, it's a sad story but no matter how many times this kind of BS happens some people just don't learn that there are way more important things in life than owning a pair of sneakers that will make you look 'cool.'
