Kim Kardashian Dodges ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ Cameras, Refuses To Film With Sisters
Kim Kardashian is reportedly refusing to film for Keeping Up with the Kardashians, despite cameras for the E! reality show being present at her husband Kanye West’s “Saint Pablo Tour” stop at The Forum in Los Angeles, California on October 25.
According to Entertainment Tonight, Kardashian attended West’s concert with sister Kourtney Kardashian, marking a rare public appearance for the reality star since she was robbed of $10 million worth of jewelry while in France for Paris Fashion Week on October 2.
Onlookers alleged to the site that cameras for Keeping Up with the Kardashians were rolling backstage at the concert after it was announced earlier this month that the E! series would be taking a hiatus while Kardashian recovers from her robbery, though Kim allegedly stayed away from the cameras.
The site claimed that Keeping Up with the Kardashians cameras “were backstage with the family” as Kanye took to the stage, but added that a source present at West’s Los Angeles show confirmed that Kim did not make an appearance in front of the E! cameras.

“While she did attend Kanye’s concert, Kim did not participate in the filming of the reality series,” a source confirmed.
The site also revealed that Kim, who has not posted on social media in the more than three weeks that have preceded her robbery, “had a dozen or so armed guards with her” as she watched Kanye from the audience alongside Kourtney and Kardashian family friend, Jonathan Cheban.
Entertainment Tonight didn’t reveal the details that surrounded Kardashian’s alleged refusal to film for Keeping Up with the Kardashians, though the presence of cameras backstage at Kanye’s show appears to confirm that the reality show’s hiatus has now come to an end more than three weeks after Kim’s robbery.
The Hollywood Reporter first confirmed that Keeping Up with the Kardashians had halted filming and was on an indefinite hiatus while Kardashian recovered from the robbery earlier this month, at which time a spokesperson for the E! network confirmed that a date had not been set for when filming would resume.

“Kim’s well-being is our core focus right now,” an E! spokesperson said of the hiatus. “No decision has been made as to when production will resume.”
While it appears that Keeping Up with the Kardashians filming has now resumed without Kim, several sources have alleged that Kardashian has been seriously considering quitting the show ever since she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris over fears for her safety.
Closer magazine recently alleged that Kardashian was considering quitting the reality show altogether and was “reassessing everything” in her life as a result of the robbery, which People reported saw Kim tied up and locked in a bathroom as thieves stole millions of dollars’ worth of jewelry.
“Kim’s feeling understandably emotional at the moment,” a source said of Kim’s reluctance to film for Keeping Up with the Kardashians amid the show’s hiatus, claiming that Kardashian is “unsure whether she wants to do the show” because she still feels “so shaken and vulnerable.”

Life & Style also reported just days after Kim’s robbery that she could be quitting Keeping Up with the Kardashians, even going as far as to allege that Kardashian had already told mom and manager Kris Jenner “that she is quitting the show” over fears for her safety and that of her two children with Kanye West, North and Saint West.
“Kim says the show is putting her in danger because her every move is documented by their cameras,” the insider added amid the hiatus.
Kim is yet to speak out about whether or not she’s quitting Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and both Kardashian and E! have so far stayed tight-lipped regarding the rumors.
