Kim Kardashian has spoken about the long-term effects of the 2016 robbery in Paris that left her in constant paranoia.
The businesswoman and reality television personality says the incident changed her outlook on life and continues to influence how she lives today.
According to her biography, Citizen Kim by Vogue writer Jonathan Van Meter, Kardashian explained that she now relies on extensive security measures and finds it difficult to relax without protection around her home.

She reportedly employs multiple security personnel and has adopted a far more cautious lifestyle than she had before the robbery.
The traumatic event occurred in 2016, when armed intruders entered her hotel room during Paris Fashion Week and stole jewellery worth millions.
Kardashian has previously described the experience as one of the most frightening moments of her life, saying she feared for her life.

The biography also explores how the aftermath of the robbery affected her emotionally.
She became increasingly concerned about privacy and personal security, reduced her public appearances, and stepped back from social media for several months.
In addition to discussing the robbery, the book touches on key moments in Kardashian’s personal life, including the early stages of her relationship with rapper Kanye West and her surprise when she learned she was expecting her first child relatively early in their relationship.

The publication further examines West’s influence on Kardashian’s rise within the fashion world.
He is said to have actively encouraged major fashion industry figures to take notice of her, helping the couple establish themselves as one of the most recognised celebrity partnerships of the 2010s.
Today, Kardashian has said that the robbery remains a life-changing event that permanently altered her sense of security and personal freedom and she continues to grow in Hollywood.
