Howard Stern Claps Back At Kim Kardashian After She Accused Him Of Laughing About Her Robbery
The latest episode of Kim's hit reality show was all about her Paris robbery that shocked the world and broke the internet.
During a scene, the reality star recalled how hurtful it was to hear comments from some people claiming she staged the event to garner attention.
"Howard Stern was like famously mocking it all the time and saying that it was just, I'm sick, and it's such a joke, and I made it all up. I remember, he was so defiant about it," she said on the Hulu series.
However, according to Stern, that couldn't be further from the truth, and he wasted no time setting the record straight on the air.
Stern Clears Up Comments About Kim Kardashian And Her Horrifying Experience
Stern played back the tapes from a 2016 episode in which he got candid about Kim's horrifying experience in Paris.
In the clip, Stern said, "If this woman was robbed at gunpoint by a bunch of dudes and they threw her in a bathtub and tied her up -- or whatever they did -- I mean, that is frightening."
He added, "If it is a farce, then really they should go to jail for that."
Stern, along with his co-host, Robin Quivers, even stated during the previous episode that they didn't believe the robbery was staged.
He did, however, joke, "The one time the Kardashians don't have a camera, something interesting happens."
Stern Believes His Take On Kim Kardashian Was A 'Fair Assessment'
Stern defended himself against Kim's comments, stating that he and Quivers' previous conversation was a "fair assessment" of the discourse swirling online at the time.
"And we said, 'We don't think it's fake. We think that she went through something horrible. Some guys came into her room and threw her in a bathtub and pointed a gun at her,'" he said.
Before concluding, Stern left a pointed message for Kim and the rest of the Kardashian gang.
"By the way, let me say something: I have said so many awful things in my career. You don't need to make up stuff. You could certainly find every awful thing I've said. It's no secret."
What Happened To Kim In Paris In 2016?
For those unfamiliar with the situation, while Kim was staying at the "No Address Hotel" in Paris for the city's Fashion Week in 2016, five men reportedly dressed as law enforcement officers broke into her room, tied her up, and later placed her in a bathtub.
The men allegedly stole millions of dollars' worth of jewelry from the A-list star, including Cartier bracelets, Lorraine Schwartz earrings, a gold Rolex, and other items.
"They grabbed me and took me into the hallway," Kim told police, according to a report from PEOPLE. "I was wearing a bathrobe, naked underneath. Then we went in the room again and they pushed me on the bed. And, it was this time, they tied me up with plastic cables and taped my hands, then they put tape over my mouth and my legs."
Kim Gets Candid About The Terrifying Moment On 'KUWTK'
In a previous episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," per PEOPLE, Kim explained that the robbers allegedly demanded money, which she claimed she didn't have. After that, she said they dragged her into the hallway, where she saw one of the men had a gun.
"I was like, 'I have a split second in my mind to make this quick decision,'" she said. "Am I going to run down the stairs and either be shot in the back? It makes me so upset to think about it. Either they're going to shoot me in the back, or if I make it and they don't, if the elevator does not open in time, or the stairs are locked, then like I'm f-cked. There's no way out."
In May 2025, eight of the ten individuals on trial for charges related to the robbery were found guilty. Following the verdict, Kim described the crime as "the most terrifying experience of my life."
Further, the mother of four said it's left a "lasting impact" on herself and her family. "While I’ll never forget what happened, I believe in the power of growth and accountability and pray for healing for all. I remain committed to advocating for justice, and promoting a fair legal system," she finished.
