**Kim Kardashian Opens Up About Traumatic Robbery Experience in Paris Court**

Kardashian's testimony details the fear she experienced during the robbery, showcasing her resilience and desire for closure.

Kim Kardashian faced her fears head-on in a Paris court as she provided heartfelt testimony about the traumatic armed robbery that shook her life in 2016. For the first time, the reality TV star recounted the harrowing incident when masked gunmen stormed her luxury hotel suite, stealing £10m ($12.5m) worth of jewellery, including an engagement ring from her then-husband Kanye West.

During the court session, Kardashian, visibly emotional, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to share her truth with the judges. She faced her assailants, a group that includes nine men and one woman, with an incredible strength that was at times interrupted by teary moments. One defendant, Aomar Ait Khedache, made an apology during her testimony, to which she replied, “I appreciate it; I forgive you,” yet emphasized the long-lasting trauma it inflicted on her life.

Recalling the incident that occurred on October 2, amid Paris Fashion Week, Kardashian detailed the moment her world shattered. She described how, after a luxurious night, she was startled awake by two men in police uniforms. “At that moment, I thought I was going to die,” she said, explaining how she feared for her life as the robbers tied her up and threatened her with a weapon. With a shaky voice, she captured the horror of her situation, praying for her family’s safety and reflecting on how it forever changed her perspective on security.

The session, attended by numerous media outlets, lasted over three hours and marked a pivotal moment in Kardashian's journey towards healing. As she shared her fears—about potential violence and trauma—she revealed the profound impact the robbery has had on her life since then. “I have a phobia of going out… Everything changed after that night,” Kardashian said, referring to the increased security measures she adopted post-trauma.

The emotional testimony was met with a packed courtroom, where she was supported by her mother, Kris Jenner, friends, and extensive security. Kardashian's courage to forgive her assailants was an unexpected facet of her testimony, emphasizing her commitment to reclaiming her narrative and finding closure.

“I do believe everyone has the opportunity to speak their truth,” she stated at the end of her testimony, reflecting on her future aspirations to become a lawyer and advocating for justice. This moment provided Kardashian not only a cathartic release but also a bittersweet step towards healing the wounds inflicted by that terrifying night.
