Kardashian said a silent prayer — for her sister, her best friend, her family — as a masked man pulled her toward him in a Paris hotel room. She was wearing only a bathrobe. Her hands were zip-tied. Her mouth was taped. She thought she wouldn’t survive.
“This experience really changed everything for us.”
At the time of the 2016 robbery, she said, her bodyguard was staying in a separate hotel: “We assumed that if we were in a hotel it was safe, it was secure.”
She said Paris had once been a sanctuary, a place where she would walk at 3 or 4am, window shopping, sometimes stopping for hot chocolate.
It “always felt really safe”, she said. “It was always a magical place.”
Kardashian, who is studying to become a lawyer herself, said she was grateful for the opportunity “to tell my truth” in the packed Paris courtroom.
“This is my closure,” she said. “This is me putting this, hopefully, to rest.”
