6. Kim Kardashian
While Ryan Lochte’s story shocked and outraged people because of his lies, Kim Kardashian’s story of being robbed outraged people because of the lack thereof. Only glimmers of inconsistencies cast brief doubt on her story, but overall it seemed all too real.
After her concierge was locked up and gagged, intruders broke into her Paris hotel, locked her in her bathroom, and stole millions worth of jewelry. This was no petty pickpocket job: this was a planned and terrifying robbery. While the jewelry was estimated later by sources at a sweet ten million, it’s our guess that that’s not what the lasting effects of this was.
While drama with Kanye (who makes his debut further on down the list) added to the emotional strife of the year, we’re sure 2016 won’t go down as one of her best.
