“You cannot display your wealth and then be surprised if some people want to share it with you.”
That is Karl Lagerfeld’s response to Kim Kardashian’s robbery ordeal.
On Monday five masked men dressed as policemen robbed the reality TV star at gunpoint in her Paris apartment. They tied her hands with plastic handcuffs, duct taped her mouth, threw her in a marble bath and stole more than $10 million worth of jewellery.
During the incident, Kim’s bodyguard Pascal Duvier was with two of her sisters at a nightclub.
The 83-year-old designer - who is considered to be Kim and Kanye’s fashion friend - isn’t the only one who thinks Kim had it coming.
The couple’s former bodyguard Steve Stanulis also believes that Kim “showing her jewellery on social media” created the “perfect storm” for the robbery.
Meanwhile, Caitlyn Jenner - who was formerly known as Bruce Jenner prior to her gender transition earlier this year - is relieved to hear her step-daughter is safe.
Alongside a black and white photo of Kim, which was shared on Caitlyn's Instagram account, she wrote: "Love my girl! After hearing the full story, I'm so thankful she's okay. It's a reminder for us all to be careful in the uncertainty of this world (sic)."
However, the rest of the Kardashian/Jenner gang, including the 'Selfish' author, have remained quiet on social media since the incident earlier this week.

The 'Selfish' author's bodyguard, Pascal Duvier, is adamant the culprits will be found.
Speaking previously, he said: "The events that occurred in Paris was one of the most sickening things I have seen or heard.
"We have tips and leads and we will find you. That I promise you...you messed with the wrong one."
Police sources have revealed Kim was tailed by two men in the days before the robbery, with the suspects - described as Caucasian and North African and having French accents - posing as a plain-clothes detective and a photographer to gain 'close surveillance' information ahead of the terrifying incident.
A source said: "Kim Kardashian was tailed for at least three days before the robbery.
"We know there was one man who pretended to be a photographer who followed the American celebrity on a motorbike to find out her whereabouts. Another man pretended to be a plain-clothed detective to try to get a seat next to her at the exclusive Ferdi restaurant on Thursday night.
"But both men were fakes."
