Kim Kardashian West has added former Secret Service agents to her security team after being robbed at gunpoint in Paris last week, TMZ reports. The new guards will be "armed," sources close to the reality star said. She'll also be accompanied by at least two bodyguards at all times (though she hasn't made any public appearances since returning home yet) and her car will supposedly be "armored."
After the attack in Paris, Kardashian West reportedly met with former members of the Israeli army's special forces, former CIA agents and former Secret Service members to talk new protection strategies. Her husband Kanye West was also met with execs from "two top security firms," according to TMZ.

Her bodyguard Pascal Duvier—who was guarding Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner during the robbery and who took down the man who accosted Kim at Paris Fashion Week days prior—is reportedly still employed by the reality star. He did, however, wipe mentions that he worked for her on social media.
Word of Kardashian West's new security personnel follows news that the star is staying quiet on social media, that she and her family are avoiding public appearances after the robbery, and that their show Keeping Up with the Kardashians is indefinitely on hold.
