Kim Kardashian is finally getting her day in court, nearly nine years after she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris.
The SKIMS mogul—who arrived to court alongside mom Kris Jenner—testified in the robbery trial on May 13, detailing how masked men entered her room at the No Address Hotel in October 2016 and proceeded to bound and gag her, before putting her in a bathtub and robbing her of an estimated $10 million worth of jewelry. Among the items stolen were a diamond ring, a gift from then-husband Kanye West worth around $4.5 million, and a $5.6 million jewelry box.
The robbery occurred at the No Address Hotel on October 3, 2016. Kim Kardashian said she initially mistook the intruders for police officers, only realizing the truth when she saw the hotel concierge handcuffed and heard the men repeatedly asking for her ring. The Skims founder said she feared for her life during the ordeal, convinced she would be killed.
Before Kim Kardashian took the stand, her former stylist and longtime friend testified that she heard her screaming in “terror” from another room in the hotel. The accused, most of whom are in their 60s and 70s, have been dubbed “the grandpa robbers” by French media. The group is believed to have stolen roughly $10 million worth of jewelry during the heist.
