American International Group (AIG), the insurance company that paid Kardashian after she was robbed at gunpoint of more than $10 million worth of jewelry in Paris, filed a lawsuit in Delaware on Wednesday against Duvier and his company, Protect Security.

The insurance company claims Duvier and his security firm “negligently, carelessly, and/or recklessly performed their protection, security, monitoring, inspection, and/or surveying of” Kardashian and her private accommodations where she was staying for Paris Fashion week in October 2016.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was held at gunpoint and robbed by five men dressed as police officers on Oct. 3, 2016.

The robbers forced their way into the private Paris residence where Kardashian was staying, tied her up, locked her in a bathroom and held her at gunpoint before making off with her jewelry.

French police arrested 16 people in January 2017 in connection with the robbery.

Duvier has not responded to the lawsuit as of this writing.
