Kim Kardashian breaks down in the Paris court as she testifies about the $9 million robbery. Recalling the 2016 incident, the 44-year-old influencer admitted that she thought she was going to be shot dead when the armed robbers tied her up in the hotel, during her visit for the fashion week.

Kim Kardashian feared she to be shot dead
When testifying, Kardashian stated how she feared her sister, Kourtney, would see the gruesome sight after she returned to the hotel, “that I would be dead on the bed, shot dead, and that should have this memory forever.” “They threw me on the bed, and the smaller one started to tie my hands,” Kim recalled, who donned a black suit and a skirt in the courtroom, according to NBC.


Kim Kardashian revealed she felt safe until...

The ‘Grandpa Robbers’ - the name that the French media calls them because of their age - stole the $4 million (20-carat diamond) ring given by then-husband, Kanye West. “I came to Paris for Fashion Week, and Paris is always a place that I love so much. I always felt really safe,” the reality star recalled.

However, when Kim confessed that when she saw the 12 intruders, she thought they were police officers. Furthermore, Kim told the attackers that she has babies, and she has to go home to them, to which one of the intruders said that he did not know. Kim continued, “Then they tied me up, and I was hysterical. When he was about to tape my mouth, he leaned toward me and said in English, 'shh' and 'you’ll be OK.'”

Flashback when Kim Kardashian told her sisters
Months after the incident made headlines, in the series ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians,’ Kim was narrating the robbery to her sisters, Khloe and Kourtney. “My door was open like this, and then I saw two guys holding another guy down in police uniforms, but right outside of my bedroom, 5 feet away,” she said.

With the view of the concierge, who had the keys to her room, handcuffed, Kim had heard ‘Where’s the rapper’s wife? Let us up to her room!’ in French, during the incident.
