Following Kim Kardashian‘s traumatic robbery in Paris in October, sister Kendall Jenner wasn’t taking any chances, and brought a beefed-up security detail to the recent Victoria’s Secret show in the city.
Security at the event was already “sky high”, with streets around the Grand Palais venue barricaded off, police and sniffer dogs on hand, and cars forbidden from stopping.
“Even VIPs had to circle the block while they waited their turn to stop,” a source told the New York Post, meaning that quite a few drivers were probably screamed at in the lead-up to the show.
Amidst all this, Jenner had the tightest security of all – she arrived at the Grand Palais her own extra team of handlers, above an beyond existing security, and wanted nothing to do with anybody, save good friend Gigi Hadid.
Speaking about Jenner’s (fairly understandable) paranoia, a source told the publication:
“She had a special handler the whole time when other girls didn’t. She arrived at the after party with private security, even though the police were there … [she] wanted nothing to do with anyone except the people doing her hair and makeup, her handler and Gigi.”
Another added that she:
“… wouldn’t do press interviews and was actually hiding at one point … One reporter asked her a question and she literally ignored her. She just kept looking at pictures of herself on her phone.”
She looked pretty damn good on the runway, though.
In early November, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West fired their long-time bodyguard Pascal Duvier, with a source saying “they love Pascal, but they couldn’t take any more chances.”
On the day of the Paris robbery, Duvier had dropped Kim at her hotel room, and was escourting Kendall Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian to a club across town when he received word of the disturbance.
