Paris, France: A decade after Kim Kardashian was tied up and robbed at gunpoint during Paris Fashion Week 2016, five men were found guilty in a high-profile trial. The court sentenced ringleaders to 10–12 years, with accomplices receiving shorter terms. Kardashian testified via video, recounting the terrifying ordeal and how it transformed her relationship with social media. Most of the stolen jewelry remains missing. The verdict underscores ongoing debates about celebrity security and oversharing online.

What this means for you:

•	If you have an active online presence, consider delayed posting of your location to reduce risk.
•	Travel with minimal flashy jewelry or keep valuables in secure places, especially in unfamiliar cities.
•	Maintain an emergency plan—like a friend or contact who knows your whereabouts—if traveling alone.
•	Insurance coverage can help recoup losses but won’t repair emotional trauma, so weigh public displays carefully.
