Kardashian faced a group of 10 defendants – dubbed the ‘grandpa robbers’ by French media – who are accused of robbing her at gunpoint in the Hotel de Pourtales in the French capital in October 2016.
She told the court how one of the robbers pulled her across the bed, exposing her naked body under her hotel robe as he tied her up.
She also told the court of her “violation”, explaining she was “grabbed and tied up… dragged from one room to the other”, and calling the whole thing “a violent act”.Kim Kardashian has given evidence to a court in Paris, in the trial of 10 people accused of robbing her at gunpoint in a hotel suite in 2016
