Kim Kardashian arrived at a Paris court on Tuesday to testify in the trial of the burglars accused of tying up and robbing her at gunpoint nearly nine years ago. The billionaire reality TV star will detail how, during the 2016 Paris Fashion Week, she was robbed of nearly $10 million in cash and jewelry, including a $4 million engagement ring – gifted to her by her then-husband Kanye West – that was never recovered. Kardashian arrived in court with her mother, Kris Jenner, wearing a diamond-encrusted necklace – in a seeming nod to the jewels taken from her on the night of the burglary. It will be the first time Kardashian is facing the alleged robbers in court. The defendants – nine men and one woman whose ages range from 35 to 78 – are facing charges including armed robbery, kidnapping and conspiracy. Eight of them deny involvement, while two have admitted to lesser offenses. Several are repeat offenders, and much of the start of the trial – which opened on April 28 – has focused on their previous criminal acts. On Tuesday morning, a childhood friend of Kardashian’s – a key witness in the trial – told the Paris court how the reality TV star had begged her burglars to “take everything” and to let her live.
