Kim Kardashian is preparing to return to Paris… this time not for fashion, but for justice.
The global celebrity and SKIMS mogul is expected to testify in person during a high-profile criminal trial set to begin April 28 in Paris, relating to the harrowing 2016 robbery where she was reportedly bound, held at gunpoint, and locked in a bathroom by masked thieves. The incident occurred during Paris Fashion Week, where Kardashian was staying in a private apartment.
According to her attorney, Michael Rhodes, Kardashian will appear before the court to recount the terrifying night that made international headlines and left her shaken. The trial, which will run through May 23, involves ten suspects facing serious charges, including armed robbery and kidnapping.
In a statement, Rhodes emphasized Kardashian’s respect for the French legal system, saying she holds “tremendous appreciation and admiration” for their efforts and “wishes for the trial to proceed in an orderly fashion in accordance with French law.”
The robbers made off with over $10 million in jewelry, including Kardashian’s now-iconic diamond ring. The case has lingered for nearly a decade, with law enforcement finally bringing the alleged perpetrators to court.
With Kardashian now stepping forward to give her firsthand account, the trial is expected to draw massive global attention.
