**Reality star addresses court about 2016 armed burglary, recounting her fears and the emotional impact of the event.**
Kim Kardashian emotionally testified in a Paris court regarding the 2016 robbery that left her feeling her life was in jeopardy, as masked gunmen stole millions in jewelry from her hotel suite. Addressing her alleged attackers directly for the first time, Kardashian recounted the terrifying events, highlighting the trauma that reshaped her life and stirred her ongoing advocacy for the justice system.
The courtroom was filled with media and supporters as Kardashian took the stand, delivering over three hours of poignant testimony about the October night in Paris when two masked assailants broke into her room. During her ordeal, she was physically restrained and feared for her life while the assailants rifled through her belongings. Speaking to the court, Kardashian recounted how, when a gun was pointed at her, she believed she would not survive the encounter.
Among the ten defendants on trial, Kardashian faced Aomar Ait Khedache, who expressed sorrow for the incident. In a powerful moment of compassion, she responded by saying, "I appreciate it, I forgive you," but stressed that her forgiveness did not erase the profound emotions and trauma she endured. Kardashian's sobs resonated during her testimony as she described the fear of being left dead and the impact on her family, particularly her sister Kourtney.
Throughout her account, Kardashian navigated the challenges of reliving traumatic memories, pausing occasionally to regain her composure. She reflected on the changes in her life post-robbery, which included a heightened sense of insecurity, psychological distress, and a transformation in her view on personal safety—which prompted her to hire extensive security.
As her testimony continued, Kardashian also expressed frustration with accusations against former associates and the publication of a memoir by one of the alleged robbers, stating that it felt disrespectful for him to monetize her ordeal.
She emphasized her desire for closure and healing, stating that confronting her trauma was a vital step in her journey. "This is my closure and my opportunity to put this to rest after everything I've been through," she concluded, reinforcing her resolve to advocate for victim rights and to ensure that such acts of violence do not become commonplace.
Kardashian's testimony not only sought justice for her case but also aimed to raise awareness about the long-lasting impact of violent crime on victims, a message she hopes resonates far beyond the courtroom.
