Kim Kardashian Robbery Update: Who Is Simone Harouche? Details About Friend Who Was Also Inside Apartment During Attack [VIDEO]
Following her ordeal in Paris where she was bound, gagged, held at gunpoint and robber of over $10 million in jewelry, new details have emerged about Kim Kardashian's robbery.
According to E! News, the reality star and fashion mogul was not entirely alone in the apartment at the time that two men dressed as police officers entered and attacked, as her close friend and stylist Simone Harouche was also inside the room, and when she heard all of the noise and commotion, she locked herself in a different bathroom and proceeded to inform Kardashian's bodyguard, Pascal Duvier, who was reportedly with her sisters, Kourtney Kardashain and Kendall Jenner, at the time of the attack.
"Simone texted [Kim's bodyguard] Pascal Duvier and Kourtney Kardashian," a source told the news site. "She couldn't dial 911 from her phone."
The source also said that when the robbers left five minutes later, Kardashian was able to run to Harouche with duct tape on her legs, and even told her friend to jump off the balcony to get free.
Both were rescued when security and police arrived, and after Kardashian gave a statement, she and Harouche boarded a plane back to the U.S., with Kardashian heading to New York and Harouche arriving back in L.A.
But who is Harouche? According to Metro UK, she is a stylist to the stars who has worked with Christina Aguilera, Miley Cyrus, Nicole Richie, Ashley Tisdale and Kardashian, and she got her big break while working with Aguilera on her Back to Basics album photoshoot, and after striking up a friendship with Kardashian, she began working closely with her ever since.
She is also married to Marc Bretter, and according to her Instagram account, she is a mother of two kids, Azlan and Dash.
It is unclear if she was ever in any extreme danger from the robbers the way Kardashian was.
