Kim Kardashian is gearing up to testify in person against the suspects behind her terrifying 2016 Paris robbery, where she lost more than $10 million in jewelry. On October 3, 2016, masked criminals broke into her hotel suite during Paris Fashion Week, held her at gunpoint, and left her shocked. By 2017, Kim provided a verbal testimony, which contributed to identifying 17 individuals tied to the crime. Investigations narrowed the suspects down to 12 people by 2021.

The reality TV star has publicly shared that the traumatic incident altered her perspective on wealth and self-worth. In a 2018 appearance on The Alec Baldwin Show, she admitted to feeling “lost” for an entire year and struggling to find motivation again. The mother of four later opened up about believing she might’ve been assaulted during the robbery, revealing to The Hollywood Reporter she had braced for the possibility of being killed in 2019.
