The night armed thieves attached Kim Kardashian and forced her to hand over jewelry worth millions of dollars who traumatized her and changed his life forever, told her best friend and fashion stylist to a Paris court.
Speaking for the first time since the 2016 attack in Paris, Simone Harouche said that she was thinking that the American television star was raped and that they would both die when she was awakened from her sleep in the first hours by the sound of the terrified cries of Kardashian.
Harouche, 45, hid in her bathroom and tried to relaunch the alarm when the men burst into their duplex of the luxury hotel in the early hours.
“I work for Kim, I’m also friends with Kim for a long time. I know her very well, I know her sounds, her manners, when she is happy, when she is more serious. We have been friends since we were little girls, ”she said.
“So when I heard this sound, it was very different and that he woke me up of my sleep because it was healthy that I had never heard of Kim. It was terror. What I heard specifically:” I have babies and I need to live “, that’s what she kept saying.” Take everything – I need to live “.”
Harouche was in tears at some point testified that she feared never seeing her children, then aged two and four.
“I thought they came for me then and I was very afraid of what happened to my friend upstairs. I did not know what was going on and I was afraid that she was raped or raped. I thought the worst. “
Harouche said that Kardashian, whose ankles had been recorded, went down the stairs of the two -story apartment to find it after the armed men left with around $ 10 million (7.5 million pounds sterling), including the 18.9 carat diamond ring of Kardashian, Kardashian’s husband, Kanye West, estimated at 4 million pounds sterling).
“This is the kind of person that Kim is and I am the kind of person to hide. He is the kind of person to take care of someone,” she said in court.
She added: “To see my friend with her recorded feet and her bathrobe, a very light dress without anything under her, all meat and fired, I obviously thought that she could have been raped or very raped. Thinking: “How are we going to be safe?”
She said that the two women had had a post-traumatic stress disorder and that Kardashian had suffered a loss of personal freedom that changed her life.
“She was very free at the time and we never thought that being in our hotel room meant that we should never fear for our security.”
She added: “I think she went to therapy for a long time also after that.”
When asked if Kardashian had taken risks by displaying his wealth and where he is on social networks, she said: “Just because a woman has jewelry that does not make her a target. That is to say because a woman wears a short skirt that she deserves to be raped.
“I work with a lot of celebrities and none of my clients think they should not wear something because they could be stolen. This is part of entertainment affairs. ”
A group of men, some of whom are elderly and nicknamed the “grandfather” of the French media, are tried in Paris, accused of jewelry flights worth millions of euros from the Star of American reality TV when it was in the French capital for Fashion Week in 2016.
Ten suspects, whose ages vary from 35 to 78 years, are tried until May 23. Some are accused of having helped in the organization of the flight. Eight of the accused deny any involvement.
Kardashian is expected during the trial on Tuesday afternoon. The star of reality is ready to “face” his attackers, said his lawyers last week.
“She is determined to attend trial in person and to face those who attacked her. She will do it with dignity and courage,” her French lawyers told AFP Leonor Hennerick and Jonathan Mattout.
