Really? What the hell is wrong with you?
Typical of him to leave in the middle of his concert because his wife has been bound, gagged, held at gunpoint, and robbed?
Yes.

I feel bad for her that's going to leave a mental scar that will last for a long time. Main thing is though that she is safe. Good on Kanye for not hesitating for a moment to rush to her though.

She's probably going to beef up security to Presidential levels.

Horrifying. I know a guy who was robbed at gunpoint/tied up and forced into a trunk. He's still in therapy for it years later.
Saying someone should be counting their blessings and saying it could have been a lot worse implies a lot more than just luck
I'm fucking done lmao

Have they said if the kids were there? That would be even worse.

Oh, so you're just saying the semantics could be potentially interpreted to mean that the person who posted that is a shitty person who says she's lucky she was robbed(??), or that they're saying she's lucky to be alive. You found that she's lucky to be robbed was the correct route to take on that. lol.
Sorry, I'll leave it be.
Why would they need to? They aren't hurting for publicity.

Luckily she wasnt raped, 5 guys robbing an attractive woman by herself. Jewelry can be replaced but she wasnt harmed physically...
A massacre happens 10 people are killed. A person says damn luckily it was only 10 people and not more. It's obvious that any situation could be worse, something more bad could always happen but what's the point in pointing it out?
It just downplays the severity of what did happen because you automatically compare it to something worst.
Why do I have to explain this

Get the fuck out of here with this nonsense.
From what she is reported to have said to the robbers - that she had babies 'at home', while begging them not to hurt/kill her - I would guess they were back in LA.

No, if one of the bodyguards was shot then maybe this would make sense.
This is a better analogy to what actually happened: If a massacre were about to occur, yet only 4 people were injured, saying "Lucky no one was killed" would be a perfectly reasonable response.

Kardashian robbery met with suspicion: "I don't think anything in [Kim's] life happens that she hasn't orchestrated"

I might be seeing shade where there is none, but I picked up a whiff of this from Selma Hayak's response to this too, when asked by reporters. She said the important thing was that she was safe, but added it was 'strange', with a bit of side-eye...
Like I say though, that just might be my shade-detector being a bit overly sensitive
Why would hey even need more publicity. They are surrounded by paparazzi all the time and in the news almost every day. It's not like she's been out of the news or trying to stay relevant or anything.
Plus Kanye leaving a concert.... why would they orhestrate that? To what gain?

Scary stuff, glad they're ok. I'm amazed that it doesn't happen more frequently what with the share everything era, frankly.
Pascal's still employed.
Jesus Christ those are some venomous comments.
"Armenian race traitor whore..."
What the fuck!?!
After the two giant fuckups this week and the guy who ran on stage last year, this is really the most surprising fact about this whole thing.

This could have been a much uglier situation, bet those IS nutbars would have loved to be the ones to come up with this idea.

Why do always have to post these, guys?
YT comments are dumpster fire, no need to give them more attention.
Moreover, we're adults, no need to warn people all the time. We get it, YT comments suck.
This is the most suspicious looking inside job ever.
Expesnive easily disposable items? Check.
Mysteriously absent security guard? Check.
Well dressed smooth criminals? Check.
Giant setup. No idea by whom, but couldn't be more obvious.
I'm assuming someone in her staff or the hotel or whatever. But it's a complex proper movie-level crime. Glad she's OK however.
And yeah, "orchestration" sounds plausible too.

I wonder if they have a fence that can move $11-14 million worth of jewellery....

I mean call me a conspiracy nutjob but this whole thing sounds like a really obvious PR stunt. Kanye gets informed mid song? Give me a break.
You can tell these two can't stand the idea of falling out of the spotlight for 2 minutes.

His wife was just tied up, gagged, and robbed at gunpoint, did you expect them to wait until after he was done with the song?
....
Jesus Christ, no it doesn't you should get yourself checked,

BUT DON'T YOU SEE??? Isn't it super suspicious how he "suddenly" gets the news in the middle of a song called "Heartless." And what happens when you divide Heartless? You get Heart and less. He got informed his HEART got hurt and that she had LESS jewelery as a result. It's right in front of you sheeple!!!!!!!
Do I even need to say that its sarcasm?
Why do it when they are currently under the spotlight?

I just saw that the NRA is making light of this on Twitter.
