One of the men who robbed Kim Kardashian of her jewelry in Paris in 2016 blamed the reality star for the robbery.
Yunis Abbas told VICE News that “Since she was throwing money away, I was there to collect it, and that was that.”
Abbas, nicknamed the “grandpa robber” because of his age, served 22 months in prison but was released due to health concerns, tells Vice. “They should be a little less showy towards people who can’t afford it. For some people, it’s provocative.”
He later adds, “I went on the internet, and it’s true, I saw her jewelry, I saw her ring, I saw that she showed it everywhere, and we knew this information through social media. She’s got a lot of money. This lady doesn’t care at all.”
Abbas admits that the incident would have left the star traumatized.
“You don’t come out of it unscathed,” Abbas told Vice. “Of course she must have been traumatized.”
