Who Is Kim Kardashian's Bodyguard Pascal Duvier and Where Was He at Time of Paris Robbery?



Kim Kardashian West’s bodyguard was not with the reality star when she was robbed at gunpoint on Sunday night in an apartment she was staying at in Paris, France, but he was still hard at work.
A source tells ET that Pascal and the driver dropped Kim off at her apartment through the garage and Pascal went back out with Kourtney Kardashian, who met up with their sister, Kendall Jenner. Kourtney was staying with Kim at the apartment, while Kendall was at the Four Seasons hotel.
“No security was there in the apartment with Kim when [the robbery] happened,” the source claims. “The bodyguard usually stays with them at the apartment, but he was with Kourtney when [it] all went down.”

Could Kim Kardashian’s Social Media Presence Have Played a Role in Robbery?


 
Apparently Kim — who was only wearing a robe at the time — was dragged from her room by her ankles and feared she was going to be raped. Her hands were then zip-tied and she was placed in the bathtub, where she pleaded for her life. According to the report, Kim told the police the men spoke only French, but she could hear them yell out “ring, ring.” They were obviously looking for the massive $5 million diamond ring Kanye recently gave her.  She showed it off on social media three days ago:
But who was behind the attack? Some are questioning whether the robbery was an inside job, since it looked as if the thieves had intimate knowledge that she would be alone at the private residence (known to locals as the “No Address Hotel”) she was staying at while in town for Paris Fashion Week.
“[The family] is going to examine every angle,” a source close to Kim and Kanye tells Yahoo Celebrity.
However, it’s not hard to imagine that the perpetrators could have come from outside the Kardashian inner circle, either. Could Kim’s willingness to share every detail of her life on social media have played a role in the robbery?

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star is very active on all social media platforms, so it’s easy to keep track of her movements in real time. In fact, she was Snapchatting at the hotel while her main security guard, Pascal Duvier, was out.
Pascal accompanied Kendall Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian to a Paris nightclub while Kim stayed behind. A source told People she was fine with him leaving because she already felt safe and secure back at home. It’s no secret who Duvier is. On Sunday, she even tweeted his photo:
Whether this was a crime of opportunity or a thought-out plan from the inside remains to be seen. However, it is no surprise that Kim was a target, given her Elizabeth Taylor-like jewels. Kim has flaunted her Lorraine Schwartz sparkler more than once on social media.
“If you’re constantly putting information out there, keeping your name in the public eye … keeping details of your wealth in the public eye, then you are … increasing the chances of a possible attack,” a security expert told People. “It wasn’t something, like, they were just walking down the street and said, ‘Oh, I heard that Kardashian was here. Let’s just go in and rob her.’ This was an organized attacked based on known information.”
The exact items stolen from Kim have yet to be revealed. However, it’s clear she is not wearing that massive rock in the photos of her today in New York City.
