Kim Kardashian said a silent prayer 맥스카지노� for her sister, her best friend, her family 맥스카지노� as a masked man pulled her toward him in a Paris hotel room during the 2016 jewelry heist that changed her life. She wore a bathrobe. Her hands were zip-tied. Her mouth was taped. She thought she wouldn맥스카지노�t survive.맥스카지노�I was certain that was the moment that he was going to rape me,맥스카지노� she told a Paris court Tuesday. 맥스카지노�I absolutely did think I was going to die.맥스카지노�She said she was getting ready for bed when she heard stomping on the stairs. At first, she thought it was her sister Kourtney and a friend returning drunk from a night out at Paris Fashion Week.맥스카지노�Hello? Hello? Who is it?맥스카지노� she called out. Then masked men stormed the room.She grabbed her phone but didn맥스카지노�t know the French emergency number. She tried to call her sister and bodyguard, but one man stopped her. The men threw her on the bed, zip-tied her hands and pressed a gun to her.맥스카지노�I have babies," Kardashian said, according to her testimony. "I have to make it home. They can take everything. I just have to make it home.맥스카지노�She was carried into the bathroom. One man taped her mouth. She was told she맥스카지노�d be OK if she stayed quiet.The last time Kardashian saw the men that police say robbed her, she was locked in the marble bathroom while masked assailants stole more than $6 million in jewelry. On Tuesday, nearly a decade later, she faced them again 맥스카지노� this time, from the witness stand.Her testimony marked the emotional climax of a trial that has gripped France and reignited debates about the cost of fame and what it means to live in public.Following digital breadcrumbsAt the time of the robbery, Kardashian was one of the most recognized women on the planet. A fashion icon. A reality star. A billionaire business mogul. She had mastered a new kind of celebrity 맥스카지노� one broadcast in real time, post by post, to millions of followers.But in the early hours of Oct. 3, 2016, that visibility became a weapon against her. The robbery marked a turning point for Kardashian, and for how the world understood vulnerability in the digital age.Investigators believe the attackers followed Kardashian맥스카지노�s digital breadcrumbs 맥스카지노� images, timestamps, geotags 맥스카지노� and exploited them with old-school criminal methods.Dressed in black with defiant sparkling diamonds, Kardashian on Tuesday stood across from her mother, Kris Jenner, in the heavily secured courtroom. Her voice trembled as she thanked French authorities for 맥스카지노�allowing me to share my truth.맥스카지노�She described how the attackers arrived at her hotel disguised as police officers, dragging the concierge upstairs in handcuffs. 맥스카지노�I thought it was some sort of terrorist attack,맥스카지노� she said.One attacker demanded she turn over her diamond ring valued at $4 million on the bedside table. 맥스카지노�He said, 맥스카지노�Ring! Ring!맥스카지노� and he pointed to his hand,맥스카지노� she recalled.French prosecutors say the assailants 맥스카지노� most in their 60s and 70s 맥스카지노� were part of a seasoned criminal ring. Two defendants have admitted being at the scene. One claims he didn맥스카지노�t know who she was.Twelve suspects were originally charged. One has since died. Another was excused due to illness. The French press dubbed them les papys braqueurs 맥스카지노� 맥스카지노�the grandpa robbers맥스카지노� 맥스카지노� but prosecutors insist they were no harmless retirees.They face charges including armed robbery, kidnapping and membership in a criminal gang, offenses that carry the potential for life imprisonment.맥스카지노�Take everything. I need to live맥스카지노�After the men fled, Kardashian rubbed the tape against the bathroom sink to free her hands. She hopped downstairs, still bound, to find her friend and stylist, Simone Harouche. Fearing the robbers might return, they went onto the balcony and hid in bushes. While lying there, Kardashian called her mother.Earlier in the trial, Harouche recalled hearing Kardashian scream from upstairs: 맥스카지노�맥스카지노�I need to live.맥스카지노� That is what she kept on saying, 맥스카지노�Take everything. I need to live.맥스카지노�맥스카지노�Harouche locked herself in a bathroom and texted Kardashian맥스카지노�s sister and bodyguard: 맥스카지노�Something is very wrong.맥스카지노�She described how her friend was 맥스카지노�beside herself ... she just was screaming."Judge David de Pas asked whether Kardashian had made herself a target by posting images of herself with 맥스카지노�jewels of great value.맥스카지노� Harouche rejected the premise. 맥스카지노�Just because a woman wears jewelry, that doesn맥스카지노�t make her a target,맥스카지노� she said. 맥스카지노�That맥스카지노�s like saying that because a woman wears a short skirt that she deserves to be raped.맥스카지노�After the robbery, critics slammed Kardashian for flaunting her wealth, including designer Karl Lagerfeld who told the Associated Press she was 맥스카지노�too public맥스카지노� with her jewelry. But as details of the heist emerged, public opinion grew sympathetic.The heist triggered a cultural shift, prompting publicists and managers to urge clients to delay social media posts, remove location tags and think twice before flashing luxury online. Yet Kardashian맥스카지노�s own image, some say, continues to complicate that narrative. As she testified Tuesday about her trauma, journalists received a press release touting her Paris courthouse appearance: 맥스카지노�Kim Kardashian stuns 맥스카지노�wearing a show-stopping $1.5 million diamond necklace by Samer Halimeh New York, featuring 80 flawless diamonds.맥스카지노� Visibility, it seemed, remains currency.She told the court her house in Los Angeles was robbed shortly afterward in what appeared to be a copycat attack. Without security guards, she said, 맥스카지노�I can맥스카지노�t even sleep at night.맥스카지노� She now keeps between four and six guards at home.맥스카지노�I started to get this phobia of going out,맥스카지노� Kardashian said. 맥스카지노�This experience really changed everything for us.맥스카지노�At the time of the 2016 robbery, she said, her bodyguard was staying in a separate hotel: 맥스카지노�We assumed that if we were in a hotel it was safe, it was secure.맥스카지노�She said Paris had once been a sanctuary, a place where she would walk at 3 or 4 a.m., window shopping, sometimes stopping for hot chocolate. It "always felt really safe,맥스카지노� she said. 맥스카지노�It was always a magical place.맥스카지노�Kardashian, who is studying to become a lawyer herself, said she was grateful for the opportunity 맥스카지노�to tell my truth맥스카지노� in the packed Paris courtroom.맥스카지노�This is my closure,맥스카지노� she said. 맥스카지노�This is me putting this, hopefully, to rest.맥스카지노�
