Star's namesake stabs fiancée, Faces 30years jail time

Nabilla Benattia, dubbed the French Kim Kardashian's burgeoning career in showbiz is now in tatters after being arrested for the attempted murder of her boyfriend

The famous 'French Kim Kardashian' reality TV star has been arrested for the attempted murder of her fiancée who was found with a knife plunged into his chest at an apartment hotel in nearby Boulogne-Billancourt earlier this month.

Nabilla Benattia, 22, faces 30 years in prison as a prime suspect in the case because police found out she'd once threatened her man, Thomas Vergara, 28: 'If I caught my guy cheating on me, I would stab him with a knife'.

Nabilla had made a career out of just being a Kim Kardashian wanna-be or even a look-alike. But with this prison charges, she could be at the verge of ending her showbiz career.

She's currently on remand in solitary confinement inside a women's jail in Versailles, West of Paris, after being denied bail.

She has definitely denied being 'consumed by jealousy and sexual aggression' as she allegedly plunged a knife into her lover's chest earlier this month.

According to a legal source close to the case, "Nabilla is adamant that she is completely innocent, and her only ambition is to get back to work. She is becoming as famous as Kim Kardashian, but she wants to be known for good things, not for trying to stab her fiancée to death."

But MailOnline claimed they uncovered a disturbing history of violence and threats between Nabilla and Thomas, whose entire romance has been played out on reality TV.

Nabilla met her idol, Kim Kardashian for the first time earlier this year, posing for pictures in Miami, and appearing in a video in which the French beauty burst out crying when she met her American idol.
