Kim Kardashian returned to Paris this week—but not for fashion. This time, she was in court facing the violent gang that robbed her at gunpoint in 2016. The beauty mogul testified with raw emotion, revealing how she truly believed she would be raped and killed.

Star Faces the Men Who Terrorized Her in Paris

Wearing a black suit and her hair in a sleek style, Kardashian entered the courtroom around 1:30 p.m. through a back door. Dozens of emotional fans waited outside since dawn. Inside, she bravely took the stand just meters from the accused.

“They pushed me on the bed and tied my wrists,” she told the court, voice trembling. “I screamed, ‘I have babies, let me live!’ I was sure I would die.”

Robbery Left Deep Mental Scars

The robbery took place at the exclusive Hôtel de Pourtalès during Paris Fashion Week. Masked men tied Kardashian with zip ties and locked her in a marble bathroom. They stole over €6 million in jewelry.

Kardashian recounted how she silently prepared for rape, even praying for survival. She feared her sister Kourtney would find her body the next morning. “One whispered in my ear to stay quiet, like he was a father,” she recalled.

Security and Media Swarm Paris Courthouse

Security around the courthouse was intense. Nearly 40 fans waited outside, many crying. Kardashian arrived with five bodyguards and her own photographer.

Two of the ten accused have admitted to being at the scene. The others deny involvement. The alleged ringleader, Aomar Aït Khedache, 70, arrived masked. French press have dubbed the gang “les papys braqueurs”—the grandpa robbers.

Prosecutors Say It Was a Planned Heist

Kardashian testified, “This was a highly coordinated attack. They knew everything—where I was staying, what I had.”

Her longtime stylist, Simone Harouche, who raised the alarm that night, said the incident changed Kardashian’s life forever. “She never goes anywhere alone anymore. She lost her freedom.”

Kardashian Cries as She Recounts Trauma

In court, Kim often wept. She looked only at the judge and avoided eye contact with her attackers. Her detailed testimony painted a picture of sheer terror: slaps, restraints, and death threats.

During one flashback, she said she heard a bottle smash near her head after delaying her response to the robbers. “He dragged her by the hair and beat her,” added witness Daniel Phillip.

Worldwide Media and Kardashian Family Attend

Reporters from around the globe flooded the courtroom. Her mother Kris Jenner was also in Paris to support her daughter. Six of Combs’s children, including twins D’Lila and Jessie, watched from the gallery.

French investigators repeatedly emphasized that the robbers were not harmless old men but experienced criminals.

Kim Kardashian: Verdict Expected May 23

With testimony now concluded, the court is set to deliver a verdict on May 23. Kardashian, once silenced by fear, now speaks boldly for justice.

“I survived that night,” she said. “But I will never forget it.”
