Kim Kardashian will take the stand in the upcoming trial tied to the 2016 armed robbery that left her bound, gagged and traumatized inside a Paris hotel room. The reality star and entrepreneur is expected to testify when proceedings begin in May 2025, nearly nine years after the high-profile heist shocked the world.
Kardashian was attending Paris Fashion Week when five men disguised as police officers stormed her private residence, held her at gunpoint, and stole over $10 million worth of jewelry, including a $4 million diamond ring given to her by then-husband, Kanye West. She was physically unharmed but left severely shaken.

A total of 12 suspects were charged in connection with the robbery in 2021 following an extensive investigation by French authorities. The accused include members of a seasoned crime ring, some of whom later bragged about their roles in interviews, further intensifying public interest in the case.
Kardashian has been candid over the years about the mental toll the robbery took on her, revealing that she suffered from panic attacks and became increasingly private with her lifestyle. In a 2022 interview, she called it “the most terrifying moment of my life” and credited therapy with helping her move forward.
Her testimony is expected to play a pivotal role in the trial, which seeks justice for one of the most infamous celebrity crimes of the decade.
