Fans question where Kim Kardashian West’s bodyguard Pascal Duvier was during Paris attack

HE’S the hulking bodyguard always by her side, but fans are asking if Pascal Duvier dropped the ball when Kim K was attacked.

HE’S the hulking bodyguard never far from her side, but Kim Kardashian West fans are asking where her renowned security guard Pascal Duvier was when the reality star was attacked overnight.

The huge bodyguard has already made headlines this week when he jumped in between his celebrity client and a Ukrainian prankster Vitalii Sediuk, who was attempting to kiss her most famous asset — her behind — in the street.

Kardashian West publicly thanked him saying “My security @PascalDuvier is a G” online, later teasing him that he was “always in her shot” as he hovered protectively behind her during Paris Fashion Week.

And I was always wondering why so may people take pictures of me 🤔🙄🙈 https://t.co/bNP2IyQ8IX

However, after news that Kardashian was tied up and locked in a bathroom overnight while thieves made of with an estimated $14 million in jewellery, fans asked where he was.

It is unclear why the star was without security at the time of the robbery, in particular her ever-present personal bodyguard Pascal Duvier, although some reports placed him out with Kim’s sisters Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian at a nightclub on Sunday night.

Others have leapt to his defence for “putting yourself in the line of duty” and he is no doubt shaken by the event.

@PascalDuvier putting others before yourself is 1thing putting yourself in the line of duty,that's quite courageous.I take my hat off to you

The huge muscle man, described as a “hulk with a heart of gold”, has a large social following of his own and often tweets inspirational quotes on health and fitness.

He has previously said he is “hired to do a job, not be a friend” and is one of several celebrity bodyguards who are finding themselves increasingly in the limelight given their high-profile clients.
