March 26, 2025: Reality TV star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian is set to testify in a Paris trial next month, nearly a decade after she was robbed at gunpoint in her Paris apartment.
The robbery took place on October 3, 2016, during Paris Fashion Week, when Kardashian was held at gunpoint, bound, and gagged by masked thieves who stole an estimated USD 10 million worth of jewelry. Among the stolen items was a USD 4 million ring gifted to her by then-husband Kanye West.
The trial, which is scheduled to begin next month, will involve 12 individuals standing trial in connection with the robbery. Kardashian is expected to take the stand in May to share her traumatic experience with the jury.
This marks a significant moment in the case, as Kardashian has previously opened up about the harrowing ordeal, including in an episode of her reality TV show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” in 2017. During the episode, she recounted the terrifying moments when she was woken up in the middle of the night and was held at gunpoint by the robbers. She shared how she feared for her life as the men threatened her and tied her up.
Kardashian’s testimony will likely provide critical insight into the events that unfolded that night and the impact it had on her life. The trial will also shed light on the details of the robbery, which had many speculating on how the thieves managed to infiltrate Kardashian’s apartment and carry out the heist.
While the 2016 robbery was widely covered in the media, Kardashian’s testimony in court will bring a new perspective on the crime, and she hopes it will bring justice to those responsible for the trauma she endured.
