“I was going to die”: Kim Kardashian is sharing fears because she is facing Paris suspects in court

Kim Kardashian said that a silent prayer – for her sister, her best friend, and her family – when a masked man pulled her towards him in a hotel room in Paris in stealing 2016 jewelry that changed her life. She was only wearing a bathroom robe. It was obligated to the ties to the postal code. I thought it wouldn’t survive.

“I was sure that this is the moment you will be raped,” she told the Paris Court on Tuesday. “I definitely thought I would die.”

The reality star TV and business singer said she was preparing to sleep when she heard the tray on the stairs. Initially, she believed her sister, Courtney and a friend of return from a night at the Paris Fashion Week.

“Hello? Hello? Who is he?” I called. Then the convincing men stormed the room.

She caught her phone, but she did not know the French emergency number. She tried to call her sister and her bodyguard, but a man stopped her. The men threw it on the bed, tied its hands and pressed a gun on its temple.

“I have children,” Kardashian said, according to her testimony. “I have to get home. They can take everything. I must get home.”

It was transferred to the bathroom. One man scored her mouth. She was told that she would be fine if she remained calm.

The last time that Kardashian saw the men that the police say they stole, were bound at gunpoint and left closed in a marble bath while convincing attackers stole more than 6 million US dollars (8.4 million Canadian dollars) in jewelry. After nearly a decade, she returned to Paris to confront them – this time from the witness platform.

Her testimony witnessed the emotional peak of the trial that invaded France and caught discussions about fame, privacy and what lives – and almost death – in public places.

The sword of fame with a two -boundary

At the time of theft, Kardashian was one of the most famous women on the planet. She had mastered a new kind of celebrities – one broadcast in real time, Post by Post, for millions of followers.

But in the early hours of October 3, 2016, this vision became a weapon against it. The theft was characterized by a turning point for Kardashian, and how the world understood the weakness in the digital age.

Investigators believe that the attackers followed the digital bread crumbs in Kardashian-photos, timelines, geological-and exploited them in criminal ways of the old school.

Kardashian, who was wearing black with sparkling united diamonds, stood in the crowded court hall of her mother, Chris Jenner. Her voice erupted as she thanked the French authorities for “allowing me to share my truth.”

She described how attackers wore clothes as police officials, with the concorders. “I thought it was a kind of terrorist attack,” she said.

One striker drew in her diamond ring.

He said, “Ring! Episode! “He referred to his hand.”

“Grandfather” thieves

French prosecutors say the men who organized theft – most of them in the 1960s and 1970s – were part of an experienced criminal link. Two of the defendants admitted the scene. One claims that he does not know who it was.

Twelve was originally accused. One has died since then. Another was exempted by the disease. The French press was called the group Babi thieves – “Grandfather’s thieves” – but the plaintiffs insist that they were not retired.

They face charges, including armed theft, kidnapping, and membership in a criminal gang, which are crimes that bear the possibility of imprisonment for life.

Kardashian, who once participated in almost every moment of her life on the Internet, later admitted the role played by the vision. “People were watching,” she said in an interview with 2021. “They knew what I had. They knew where I was.”

After the men fled, rubbish the tape on the bathroom to free her hands. With the presence of her ankles still binding, she jumped in the basement to find her friend and designer Simon Harush. For fear that thieves may return, they went to the balcony and hid in the bushes. While lying there, Kardashian called her mother.

Earlier in the trial, Harosh recalled hearing Kardashian screaming from the upper floor: “I need to live.” This is what I continued to say, “Take everything.

Harush held herself in the bathroom, Kardashian’s sister’s sister, and a goalkeeper: “There is something very wrong.” Later, I heard Kardashian struggling with the stairs. “She was next to herself.” “She was just screaming.”

The theft changed “everything” for Kardashian

Judge David de Bass asked whether Kardashian had made herself a target by publishing pictures of herself with “great value jewels”.

Harosh refused the hypothesis. “Just because a woman wears jewelry, and this does not make her a target,” she said. “This is the same as saying this because a woman wears a short skirt deserves to be raped.”

After the theft, critics like designer Karl Lagerfeld Kardashian criticized her wealth, as she told Lagrifeld that Associated Press was “very general” with her jewelry. But with the emergence of details about theft, general feelings turned.

Kardashian told the court that she was anxious after the Paris robbery, saying that her home in Los Angeles was stolen shortly after that, while it appeared to be a counterfeit attack.

“I started getting the output phobia,” she said. “This experience changed everything for us.”

She added that she now keeps between four and six personal guards at home, just to make her feel safe enough to sleep.

The theft sparked a cultural transformation, prompting propaganda and managers to urge customers to delay social media publications, remove the site marks and think twice before the overflow of luxury online. But even when she witnessed her shock on Tuesday, journalists received a journalistic statement winning in the Kardashian Court Hall in Paris. He stated that the “displayed” diamond necklace was wearing for the appearance of $ 1.5 million.

The experiment is expected to end later this month.
