On 3 October 2016, Kim Kardashian-West was robbed at gunpoint in Paris. While French police began their search for the jewelry thieves, web sites such as Your News Wire published articles promoting the baseless claim that the star's husband Kanye West was behind the heist: The article published by Your News Wire, a web site known for peddling half-truths and misinformation, is based almost entirely on a comment made by former bodyguard, Steve Stanulis, who said that the robbery was likely an inside job: It should also be noted that while Your News Wire provided links to the various quotes it offered in their report, they offered no supporting information for the claim that Kanye West was wanted as a suspect by police. This alleged aspect of the case was also ignored by credible outlets such as the Atlantic and the Associated Press. The only other report we could find claiming that West was wanted in connection with the robbery of his wife, came from the fake news outlet World News Daily Report. According to People magazine, both Kim and Kanye were back in New York the day after the theft in Paris. While the investigation into this armed robbery is ongoing, Kanye West has not been named a suspect as of this writing.
