A high-profile celebrity feud has reignited. Broadcaster Howard Stern has issued a forceful rebuttal to allegations made by Kim Kardashian on her reality show. The dispute centres on Kardashian’s claim that Stern mocked her account of a traumatic 2016 Paris robbery.
On a recent episode of ‘The Kardashians’, the SKIMS founder stated Stern was “famously mocking it all the time.” She recalled him saying she was “sick” and that she “made it all up,” adding his defiance over the incident “always stuck” with her.
Stern addressed the accusation directly on ‘The Howard Stern Show’. He told co-host Robin Quivers that Kardashian accused him of saying she faked the robbery. Stern stated, “Nothing could be further from the truth.”
The 71-year-old broadcaster then played archival audio from his show in 2016, days after the attack. In the clip, Stern described the incident as serious. He said, “If this woman was robbed at gunpoint by a bunch of dudes and they threw her in a bathtub and tied her up… that is frightening.”

— TMZ (@TMZ) December 10, 2025Stern argued the tone and content of the original broadcast proved he regarded the robbery as a serious and intimidating event, directly contradicting Kardashian’s characterisation of his commentary.
For Kim Kardashian, the robbery remains a defining and traumatic moment. She has spoken extensively about its psychological impact, where assailants stole $9 million in jewellery and shattered her sense of safety.

Kardashian has also discussed her former husband Kanye West’s private reaction to the event and the subsequent emotional strain.
His dispute highlights differing public perceptions. Supporters of Kardashian argue that any dismissal of the robbery fosters insensitivity toward victims. Meanwhile, Stern’s fans emphasise reviewing documented evidence before assigning blame.
