Paris was once “magical” for Kim Kardashian. But she said in a statement on Tuesday in France that the armed robbery she witnessed during Paris Fashion Week” changed everything” and that it was the result of 10 people’s trials for plotting and carrying out the crime.
She claimed that she “absolutely” believed she was going to die, according to the Associated Press . Then, she was persuaded she was going to be sexually assaulted when her dress opened and “everything” appeared on her brain.
She told presiding assess David De Pas,” I was certain that this was the moment he was going to murder me.” ” I genuinely believed that I was going to pass away.”
Kardashian had been shocked when outsiders appeared in her room after hearing trampling on the steps in her two-story flat and calling out for one of her daughters. Somebody stole her phone, but she was able to call her guard for assistance.
According to the Guardian, Kardashian said,” I thought it was some kind of criminal attack,” adding that she was confused when the gentlemen arrived. ” I didn’t really grasp at first that it was about my bracelets.”
Finally, she claimed, according to the , BBC,” They picked me up off the pillow, grabbed me, and took me down the hallway to look for more apparel, more stuff.”
Her up was a weapon-pointer. If I manage for it at first because that was my first thought? But staying wasn’t an option, so I only stayed, and that’s when I realized I should really follow their instructions.
Kardashian claimed she made an effort to tell the defendants that she had “babies” and needed to make it home with them intact. At the time, there were only two, compared to today.
The reality TV star and charm mogul wound up with her arms and legs zip-tied and taped over her lips in recent years. The pirates eventually left her in a bath as they made their escape with millions of dollars worth of riches.
Kardashian, who divorced singer husband Kanye” Ye” West in 2022, claimed that the heist” changed anything” about how she and her family vacation. Before this, we previously believed we were never going to be healthy. She claimed that instead of going to a different hotel each hour, she now travels with several bodyguards who stay. One companion who had gone out to a membership with girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian was present at the time of the robbery.
According to her testimony, Kim Kardashian then removes her apparel when she gets home and stores it in a different place for safekeeping so she can rest soundly at night.
The test for the ten suspects, who range in age 35 to 78, will continue until May 23. Five people are alleged to be inside the house, and others are accused of helping to plan the assault. Eight of them claim innocence, but two gentlemen whose DNA was discovered in the house have come forward and admitted guilt.
One of the 71-year-olds who has admitted taking part in the assault is Yunice Abbas. On Tuesday, he even responded to the court’s inquiries. Abbas told the court that robbing Kardashian was a job” too many” and that he” totally regrets” participating, per , the Guardian, and he has written a book about his experiences that culminated in the events of October 3, 2016, and has discussed it in interviews.
According to the BBC, Kardashian claimed she was shocked when she learned of the text. Not only did he accomplish this, but he is now making money off of my apparel, thoughts, and the view my deceased father gave me when I left high school, according to his statement. That won’t be returned to me.
Somebody stole my thoughts, and now he is making money by writing a book, and it wasn’t just jewelry. I didn’t think it was good.
Then, according to the New York Post , Kardashian managed to escape with her hands and head upstairs to where her friend and designer Simone Harouche was staying. She claimed that when the Paris police arrived, she wondered if they were genuine police because the other men had police outfits.
She said,” I didn’t know who to trust,”
The suspects face charges that include armed robbery, theft, and joining a criminal gang, all of which have the potential for career prison, according to the AP.
According to researchers, the defendants used the information they gathered from Kardashian’s social media posts to plot their crimes. She claims that since the robbery, her articles have been considerably altered.
