Fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld has taken an unpopular stance on Kim Kardashian on Tuesday, a day after the reality television star was robbed at gunpoint in Paris of 10 million dollar’s worth of jewelry. "You cannot display your wealth and then be surprised that some people want to share it with you," the designer told reporters after his Spring/Summer 2017 Chanel show in Paris.
Lagerfeld had written Kardashian a note on Monday saying: "Dearest Kim, we are all with you," after she was tied up and robbed at a luxury apartment in Paris. But he criticized the celebrity for flaunting her wealth to her more than 100 million social media followers. "If you're that famous and you put all your jewelry on the net, you go to hotels where nobody can come near to the room," he said.
Kardashian tweeted a picture last week of a diamond ring worth around four million euros ($4.5 million) which police said had been stolen in the early morning raid along with five million euros worth of other jewelry. "I think it's a very bad thing for Paris but I don't understand why she was in a hotel with no security," Lagerfeld said of the robbery, which made headlines across the world.
The multi-millionaire mother of two and wife of the US rap superstar Kanye West had been in Paris for fashion week, where she was a front row guest at Balenciaga and Givenchy on Sunday. The outspoken 83-year-old German-born designer and photographer has previously been complimentary about Kardashian and her family.

What bitch? Sharing? Was this playtime in kindergarten? Sis was (allegedly) tied up, manhandled, and threatened with firearms. Dusty old queen can go design another impactless Chanel collection, bye.
He made a good point though. Was her security not with her? She's one of the biggest people in the entertainment business and these people just got to her like that? She should have protection at all times of the day.

This.
I wouldnt really say its her fault but if your going to put everything on display like that at least have some security and to think she was just attacked by a stranger last week
I don't think you deserve to be robbed if you display your wealth, but it's incredibly tacky, gaudy behavior. That's Kim for you, however. I don't understand why this keeps making morning news. This should be handled privately.
