Early Monday morning, Kim Kardashian West was held at gunpoint in the room she was staying in for Paris Fashion Week.

According to the French Interior Ministry, five men threatened the building’s concierge with a weapon before handcuffing him and forcing him to allow them into the private apartment she was staying in.

A spokesperson confirmed that Kardashian West was held at gunpoint in the room by two armed masked men dressed as police officers. The men who entered Kardashian West’s room held a gun to her head, locked her in the bathroom and proceeded to take two cell phones and about $10M worth of jewelry.

Although she wasn’t harmed in the incident, she was (understandably) shaken and promptly left France Monday via private jet after speaking to the police.

Her husband, Kanye West, was performing a set at the Meadows Festival in NY on Sunday when an assistant ran on stage to deliver the news to West. He then told the crowd “I’m sorry, family emergency, I have to stop the show,” and left immediately.

And this isn’t the first time this week that someone tried to attack Kardashian West. Which brings up a lot of conversations surrounding celebrity and the way people approach public figures.

Chrissy Teigen is just one celebrity commenting on fame in the wake of the incident. Whether you like Kardashian West or not, she’s well-known, and many on social media took the opportunity to make jokes about what went down in Paris. But Teigen wasn’t here for it:

Some shit just isn’t funny. I see you trying, but it isn’t.

Fame is interesting. Celebs are supposed to love you guys while also knowing you’d make a meme of our dead bodies to get retweets

It is just a weird little world that I cannot expect anyone to get. I know it seems super awesome and laughable. I know.

Please do not think that I think celebrities are special snowflakes. I just miss empathy, in general, for everyone.

And after critique, Teigen wanted to remind everyone that she doesn’t just stick up for celebrities:

“Why don’t you speak about [insert random world issue]???” – I do. And my mentions are shit then, too.

Others spoke out in response to people defending Kardashian West because she’s “a mother/sister/wife,” commenting on the respect others deserve just for being a person.

Quick note: Kim Kardashian is a person outside of being a wife/sister/mother and that should be enough reason to care.

Kim K’s marital, parental, and sibling status is really irrelevant to why it’s AWFUL that she was threatened in the safety of her hotel.

I’m glad Kim Kardashian is safe and also glad I’m not around people who would act so coldly towards anyone being robbed at gunpoint.
