Kim Kardashian Robbery Security Footage Surfaces of Thieves' Getaway
OCTOBER 2016
Kim Kardashian's Paris robbers were captured on street-side cameras as they made their escape with millions of dollars worth of her jewelry.
The video shows the 5 alleged robbers, 3 on bicycles and 2 on foot, start approaching Kim's apartment complex at 2:19 AM on October 3. According to the time code on the CCTV footage -- just released on France's M6 News -- the suspects fled the apartment about 49 minutes later.
One of the men on bike appears to be toting a backpack during the getaway, and all of them are moving much faster. The camera looks to be at least 40-50 feet away, and the suspects are extremely blurry.
Police have not said if they have any leads on the perpetrators.

Blac Chyna Tyga & Kylie's Spies Stole My Son's Party Theme
Blac Chyna is pissed at Tyga for jacking her Ferrari birthday party plans for their son, and adding his own bells and whistles to outdo her ... and she smells a rat behind the whole mess.
A source close to Chyna tells TMZ ... she believes a production staffer on her reality show fed Tyga and Kylie Jenner all the details of her party for King -- which she spent 2 months planning. We're told Tyga and Kylie were invited to the Saturday event, but no-showed ... then threw their bigger copycat bash the next day.
Chyna says she's happy her son enjoyed the birthday double up, but as a mother ... it was a slap in the face. Plus, it's insult to injury if someone from her own show tipped off her enemy.
Co-parenting. It ain't for everyone.

Green Day's frontman Billie Joe Armstrong would rather talk about the Kardashians than politics ... until you push his Donald Trump button, that is.

Kardashian's Dash Store Sued I See You Don't Like Blind Customers ...
The Kardashian's Dash store refuses to do business with the blind ... treating them as second-class citizens ... so claims a blind man who's suing the joint.
Andres Gomez says he's legally blind and uses screen reader software to access the Internet. But the software continually came up empty when he tried browsing Dash store's website. He says the site contains barriers and Dash is well aware but refuses to fix it.
Kim, Khloe and Kourtney are not named defendants in the suit.
Gomez accuses the store of violating the American with Disabilities Act because Dash's website fails to sync with his screen reader software and provides no other access for blind customers.
Gomez is suing to get Dash's website to comply with federal law and he also wants cash.
We've reached out to Dash, so far no word back.

Lamar Odom Brothel Owner's House Burns ... Kardashians Put a Curse On Me
The one year anniversary of Lamar Odom's overdose in a Nevada brothel got really creepy for the brothel's owner, Dennis Hof -- his $2 million mansion burned to the ground.
Hof's home in the Reno area is toast after a controlled burn, set by the state of Nevada, clearly got out of control and took down his 3-story palace in the woods. The timing has gotta make you think twice.
It was one year ago Thursday that Lamar fell unconscious at Hof's Love Ranch South in Pahrump, NV ... after partying hard for days with hookers and drugs.
Hof tells TMZ ... he definitely feels like Khloe and the rest of the Kardashians put a hex on him. He's planning to be on a remote island this time next year. Just in case.
Kim Kardashian Robbery Secret Recording in Paris Apt. Sparks Police Investigation
Moments after Paris cops responded to the Kim Kardashian robbery scene, someone recorded video inside her apartment and whoever shot the footage is in big trouble ... TMZ has learned.
The video shows Kim on a couch, wrapped in blanket while FaceTiming with someone. Police are combing the luxury pad for evidence ... apparently unaware that someone in the apartment is shooting video, which would be a major violation of French privacy laws.
Our sources tell us Kim's legal team is now working with French authorities to determine who was behind the camera. The issue is, in France it is illegal to film someone in a private setting without their consent. We're told police believe this video fits that description.
The video was posted on websites this week, but Kim's legal team shut it down immediately by sternly reminding the outlets the footage is illegal.
If Kim or others who were present can finger the camera operator, and cops locate the culprit ... he or she could face a year in prison and be fined the equivalent of about $50k.

Kim Kardashian Robbery Costume Pulled From Site
The public has spoken, and does NOT want to see people dressed up as Kim Kardashian, bound and gagged by armed robbers for Halloween.
Costumeish founder Johnathon Weeks says the backlash was so severe by Tuesday afternoon, it became clear the Parisian Robbery Victim costume wasn't gonna fly. It's been yanked from his website.
Weeks says this is the first time they've removed a costume from their online store -- and there have been plenty of borderline tasteless options in the past, including Cecil the Lion and crack-smoking mayor Rob Ford.
The move won't ruin Halloween for too many -- Weeks says he'll be fully refunding all SIX people who actually forked over the $69.99.
Kim Kardashian Robbery Costume Backlash ... 'Pathetic' & 'Disgusting'
Kim Kardashian will have to relive the trauma of the Paris robbery come Halloween, thanks to a new costume, which a ton of people are calling a "disgusting" cheap joke.
Costumeish.com's "Parisian Heist Robbery Victim Costume Kit" includes a short white robe, black wig, "$4 million" ring, sunglasses, a gag and a rope ... all for $69.99.
The getup is as controversial as it is timely ... which explains the wave of negative product reviews:
- "What kind of sociopathic a****** makes someones trauma a f***** COSTUME?!"
- "You should be ashamed of yourselves you sick f***s. Hope you get robbed at gunpoint so you psychopaths know how it feels. Pathetic."
- "This is ridiculous. Are you going to have a Brock Turner costume with optional dumpster and passed out girl?"
Costumeish founder Johnathon Weeks tells TMZ ... he expected backlash, but pop culture's become a huge part of Halloween. This is the same company that did Cecil the Lion and Caitlyn Jenner costumes ... so this is just par for the course.
Kim Kardashian Robbery Goes on the Attack! Sues Over Claims She Lied
Kim Kardashian's calling out a media outlet ... Tom Cruise style ... suing for published stories that accuse her of lying about the whole Paris robbery.
Kim just filed a federal lawsuit against MediaTakeOut.com for 3 posts about her ordeal ... one of which alleged there was evidence Kim "staged" the robbery. In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Kim says the site used random people off social media as its sources.
The site also posted a story about "French authorities" suspecting Kim had actually "let the robbers in" the apartment. The final indignity, according to the suit by her lawyers Marty Singer and Andrew Brettler, was a post about Kim's insurance claim. She says MediaTakeOut reported, "If she faked the robbery ... she just committed a FEDERAL CRIME."
Kim says she immediately sicced her legal team on the site ... demanding they retract the posts and apologize, but got no response. So now, she'll see 'em in court.
MediaTakeOut had no comment.

Kim Kardashian to Cops Thieves Were a Bunch of Amateurs
Kim Kardashian's robbers were rank amateurs ... and it showed from start to finish.
Sources close to Kim tell TMZ ... she told cops the robbers were extremely hesitant and tentative ... whisking her in and out of the bathtub, pointing a gun at her head ... walking away and then pulling the gun again for no apparent reason.
We're also told it seemed to Kim that the robbers were arguing over how to pull off the heist. Remember ... the robbers only spoke French.
As for the robbers mimicking cops ... we're told not even close. The uniforms looked like they came from a Halloween store.
The thieves used a garden-variety backpack to carry the jewels out. But they were extremely careless ... a $33,000 necklace ended up on the street as they made their getaway. And they left zip ties and duct tape behind.
Still ... they got away with it -- for now.
Kim Kardashian Robbery Diamond Cross Found ... Small Change Next to Ring
Kim Kardashian's robbers did NOT make a clean getaway -- they dropped one item, and we've learned the blinged-out piece came straight from famed jeweler, Jacob and Co.
The recovered jewelry is a platinum mounted diamond cross ... according to our sources. Amazingly, a passerby found it on a sidewalk outside the apartment complex the day after the robbery. We're told it's worth $33,180.
Police are checking the pendant for any traces of DNA that could potentially help crack the case.
As we first told you, the robbers made off with a total of 13 items, worth $5.6 million ... and that includes the massive $4 million diamond ring.
Hard to tell if it has enough diamonds to be the actual pendant, but Kim was sporting this cross in Paris just 2 days before the robbery went down.
