Kim Kardashian robbery suspect says reality star was ‘throwing money away’
- Yunice Abbas is one of 5 men allegedly involved in the armed heist that saw Kardashian held at gunpoint then tied up in her bathroom in Paris in 2016
- He said in an interview that he recalls watching the star throw a diamond in the pool in one episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians
A man involved in the armed jewellery heist targeting Kim Kardashian in 2016 has no remorse about the incident because the beauty mogul was “throwing money away”.
In an interview with Vice about high-profile robberies enabled by social media, Yunice Abbas, one of the five men who allegedly robbed the reality star, detailed what he and his collaborators did to carry out the operation that allegedly involved holding Kardashian at gunpoint, tying her up and locking her in a bathroom at her rented apartment during Paris Fashion Week.
While Abbas believed that Kardashian was traumatised by the attack and said that “you don’t come out unscathed”, he did not seem fazed by it.
“Since she was throwing money away, I was there to collect it, and that was that,” he told the interviewer in French. “Guilty? No, I don’t care. I don’t care.”
A representative for Kardashian did not immediately respond on Monday to a request for comment from the Los Angeles Times.
