Kim Kardashian on Tuesday sued a website for claiming she had staged an armed robbery in Paris that her sister said had left her terrorized and traumatized.

The reality TV star filed a defamation lawsuit in federal court in New York against the U.S. celebrity gossip site MediaTakeOut.com for reporting that she had faked the robbery, and then filed a fraudulent insurance claim.

Paris police said the 35-year-old celebrity was robbed at gunpoint of some $10 million in jewelry by masked men who tied her up in her Paris apartment early on Oct. 3.

The website did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Kardashian's TV show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" has been put on hold since the robbery and Kim has stopped her other business and social engagements.

Tuesday's lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for defamation and names both MediaTakeOut.com and its founder, Fred Mwangaguhunga, as defendants.

It said that Mwangaguhunga refused to publish a retraction and an apology.

Kardashian has been criticized for making herself vulnerable by posting photos of her $4 million dollar engagement ring and other jewelry in the days before the Paris attack.

Others have made fun of the robbery. One California-based company is selling a Halloween costume called "Parisian Heist Robbery Victim" that consists of a long black wig, sunglasses, a white bathrobe, rope, a mouth gag and a large plastic ring.
