On Sunday, Kim Kardashian West was robbed at gunpoint in her Parisian residence during Paris Fashion Week. Upon being notified of the news, Kanye West abruptly left a concert mid-song to address the family emergency, leaving fans shocked and confused. As details emerge about what happened to Kardashian — she was robbed of roughly £8 million worth of jewellery by masked men with handguns — it's clear that this was a very real and very traumatic event. While the American Twitter is currently joking that Taylor Swift is behind the ambush in a quest for revenge, it's the French Twitter that is remarkably unmoved by Kardashian's story. In fact, many of the tweets about what happened to the reality star, mother, and wife, are downright nasty. Many have little to no sympathy for Kim let alone the Kardashian-Jenner family. Here's what some people are saying, with English translations below. It's difficult to imagine writing some of this stuff about a victim who isn't famous.

#KimKardashian s'est fait voler pour 10 millions€ de bijoux. La vraie info, c'est qu'on peut se trimballer avec 568 années de smic sur soi.

One person compared the worth of the items stolen to the minimum wage in France to point out just how excessively wealthy Kardashian is: "kim kardashian got 10 million euros worth of jewelry stolen, but the real info here is that you can walk around wearing 568 years of minimum wage."

Fier d'être parisien :) https://t.co/hoPmeaq1wk

Another posted a link to an article about the attack and captioned it "Proud to be parisian :)."

Kim Kardashian came in France and saw how wild we are ??

Someone else said that now Kardashian understands how "wild" the city is. Perhaps this is even a subtle call-out to one of West's lyrics from "Wolves": "You too wild/ You too wild."

Kim K s'est faite braquée. C'est bizarre comme sécurité pour une meuf entourée H24 de sa famille, bodyguards, staff et cameramen pour sa TVR
— Jessica (@Enfant_Sauvage_) October 3, 2016

Another woman joked about how much security she has for her to find herself in the threatening situation: “Kim K was robbed. What kind of security does a girl have who is surrounded 24/7 by her family, bodyguards, cameramen, and staff for her reality TV show.”

Je pense rien du braquage de Kim Kardashian. J'ai des problèmes aussi. Je suis à découvert. Merci.
— Twisitó (@ZWTRP) October 3, 2016

Others just want to avoid the topic all together and focus on their own personal problems: “I have no opinions on what happened to Kim Kardashian. I have issues of my own. My account is overdraft. Thanks.”

Moi, je ne comprend pas ! Kim Kardashian avec son cul, elle aurait pu mettre KO ses agresseurs en 2,3 twerk. #Paris #KimKardashian
— Marco PullUp (@NaceButterfly) October 3, 2016

And some are particularly vulgar suggesting that she could have "twerked" them off: "I don’t understand, with Kim Kardashian’s ass, she could have knocked out her aggressors in 2, 3 twerk."

Mais quand j'y pense vous imaginez le drama si on avait assassiné Kim Kardashian ?
— North Zilla (@NorthZilla) October 3, 2016

Someone else started considering what the reaction would have been if she was murdered, which is a very dark thought: "But can you imagine the drama if they had murdered Kim Kardashian?"

Si cette pute aurait écouté le son "Paris" de Rohff, elle saurait que du banditisme au rap tu peux pas tester Paris. #KimKardashian
— In Mourinho I trust (@SlimDz78MUFC) October 3, 2016

And finally, one guy suggested that Kardashian is a bitch: "If that bitch had listened to “Paris” by Rohff, she would have known that from bandits to rap, you can’t beat Paris."

Needless to say, it will probably be awhile before Kardashian returns to the City of Lights.
