Kardashian faces men who robbed her at gunpoint

Kim Kardashian said a silent prayer — for her sister, her best friend, her family — as a masked man pulled her toward him in a Paris hotel room in the 2016 jewellery heist that changed her life.

Nearly a decade later, she returned to Paris to face the men who robbed her at gunpoint, but this time from the witness stand. “I was certain that was the moment that he was going to rape me,” she told a Paris court Tuesday. “I absolutely did think I was going to die.”

The last time Kardashian saw the men that police say robbed her, she was bound at gunpoint and left locked in a marble bathroom while masked assailants stole more than USD 6 million in jewellery.

Her testimony marked the emotional climax of a trial that has gripped France and reignited debates about fame, privacy and what it means to live — and nearly die — in public. The night in her suite during Fashion Week in 2016 forever altered her relationship to fame and safety.
