Kim Kardashian Robbery Costume Exists For Some Insane Reason

WHY?

It seems that every Halloween we get a costume that lights the Internet on fire, and this year's contender has arrived.

A little more than a week after Kim Kardashian West was robbed of more than US$10 million in jewelry while in Paris, a costume website has started selling a getup that resembles her awful experience.

Costumeish now sells the "Parisian Heist Robbery Victim Costume Kit" for US$69.99. It includes a "White Short Sexy Robe" and "Fake Gag."

Although the website doesn't actually name the celebrity, you just have to look at the costume's listing to see the inspiration behind it.

Outrage on social media

"She has devoted her life to promoting American decadence, youth, and hedonism but all that flashy living caught up with her one night in Paris when armed men bound her, stole her jewelry and her peace of mind," reads the item's description.

Johnathon Weeks, the website's founder and vice president, told TIME the costume is meant to be funny but added that he doesn't want to make light of a "serious situation."

“Halloween references pop culture and celebrities are no different. That’s Halloween,” he said.

The costume sparked outrage on social media, and many users described it as tasteless and offensive.

Kardashian said she was held at gunpoint, tied up and gagged during the Oct. 3 robbery at a Paris hotel. Police are still investigating the incident.

On Sunday a pendant was found near the scene of the robbery, according to NBC News. It's being examined by forensic investigators.

Want to see them?"Be careful: Some people may want to play with your squirrel (FYI: another term that has two meanings).
