— -- Kim Kardashian West broke her social media silence following her traumatic robbery in Paris last month, but then quickly removed the post.

"The Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star did not offer an explanation as to why she took it down.

Kardashian West, 36, has not spoken publicly since she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris on Oct. 3.

For those who did not see her post, the reality TV star shared a photo of herself holding a Blackberry phone, which she captioned, “Downtime,” with the hashtag “#LumeeCollab” -- a reference to her cellphone case, which lights up for selfies.

The Blackberry -- which she was forced to ditch earlier this year -- is an indication the pic may be an old one.

It also seems that others may have been posting on her behalf. A link to some old family Halloween videos compiled by her sister, Kourtney, appeared on her Facebook page briefly, as did a story written by her friend and personal assistant, Steph Sheppard, about last-minute Halloween costumes. Both were also posted on her subscription app KimKardashianWest.

The reality star and social media icon has been keeping a low profile since she was robbed in her Hôtel de Pourtalès apartment in Paris by five masked men, who tied Kardashian West up at gunpoint and made off with millions in jewelry.
