Kim Kardashian Confronts Trauma: Testifies Against 'Grandpa Robbers'
trial

Celebrity and billionaire Kim Kardashian delivered a gripping testimony on Tuesday in a Paris court regarding the violent heist she endured during Paris Fashion Week in 2016. A gang, infamously named the 'grandpa robbers,' stands accused of threatening her at gunpoint and absconding with jewelry valued in millions of euros.

Recounting the terrifying night, Kardashian revealed how she awoke in the early morning to unannounced footsteps, assuming they belonged to police officers due to their uniforms. Feeling unsafe, she called out for her sister, but received no answer. A man holding a gun soon affixed her to the bed, elevating her fear that he might assault her, but he ultimately restrained and left her there.

After the robbers left, Kardashian freed herself with a marble sink, reuniting with her stylist, Simone, who had alerted her sister. Although unharmed, she described the emotional scars and heightened security measures she adopted post-incident. The trial marks a significant moment as Kardashian publicly confronts her harrowing experience.
