Kim Kardashian, the reality star and entrepreneur, testified on Tuesday in a Paris court when she was facing the so-called “grandfather thieves” who are accused of having stolen her in the French capital almost a decade.
Ms. Kardashian explained how she was gagged, linked to chalices of band and zip, and stole under the threat of a weapon in a residence which she rented during the Paris Fashion Week in October 2016.
Ms. Kardashian, 44, described in preceding interviews the trauma she suffered when men disguised as police officers and bearing hoods burst into the property and stole valuables, including a diamond engagement ring of $ 4 million.
But her appearance in court on Tuesday is the only time she should take the position and face the people accused of having stolen her.
From Dawn, dozens of journalists and curious spectators hoping to have an overview of Ms. Kardashian had lined up to enter the courtroom to sit in the public gallery. Under French law, cameras are not authorized in court.
The courthouse burst out of activity before the appearance of Ms. Kardashian, while adolescents broke selfies in the marble corridors and the cameras teams jostled to have the best view.
