Kim Kardashian Was ‘Hysterical’ After Paris Robbery

Subscribe for more In Touch Weekly videos! http://bit.ly/2BRbxbH It’s been almost a decade since Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint inside her hotel room in Paris, France. Now, as part of the In Touch Investigates new true crime video series, Kristin Thorne takes a closer look at the brazen crime after Kardashian’s emotional testimony in the month-long trial following news that the ringleader and seven other people involved in the heist were found guilty while two others were acquitted. The reality star's former bodyguard Pascal Duvier's lawyer, Jerry Kroll, reflected on the trauma she experienced that unforgettable evening in October 2016, revealing to In Touch that she was deeply shaken and overcome by emotions. “One of the most important pieces of his testimony was when he got back to the hotel after this happened, and he goes into the hotel, he opens the door to the staircase and there is the concierge handcuffed, key in his hand,” Kroll explains. “Then he races upstairs to the room where Kim Kardashian is and he opens the door and his first visual is that Kim is hysterical, crying. And that became a really important point in the trial.” Kardashian, 44, told the judge on May 14 that she had just started to doze off when she heard someone enter her hotel room during Paris Fashion Week. She first assumed it was her sister Kourtney Kardashian returning from a night out, but two masked men stormed in, jolting her with fear. The robbers bound Kardashian by her hands and feet while holding a gun to her back. Kardashian was without security the night the group of men broke into her hotel room and stole millions of dollars' worth of jewels, including the $4 million dollar engagement ring her then-husband Kanye West had gifted her. Duvier had been assigned to watch over her sister Kourtney, 46, at a nightclub across town, which is why he was not there when the robbers arrived. Kardashian’s insurance company eventually filed a lawsuit against Duvier and his firm for negligence, which they settled in 2020. However, despite that, a friend said that Kardashian “does not blame” Duvier, according to a report from Page Six. Duvier took the stand and testified against the thieves during the trial, and Thorne spoke with Duvier’s attorney in an interview as part of the new In Touch Investigates series. Kroll says that Duvier, who let the Kardashians know he would be testifying ahead of time, still has “good relations” with the Skims founder and that he “has great respect and admiration for the family.” He also adds that Duvier’s testimony was a key part of the trial, and it spoke to how tumultuous the event was for Kardashian. “In fact, when the Kardashians' lawyer cross-examined my client, they said, ‘Had you ever seen Kim Kardashian hysterically crying before?’ And the answer was no. In other words, this was, like, shock and awe, devastating experience. And for him to witness that and for her to go through it is something that you don't get over very easily.” Kroll continues, “For anybody who was in a violent crime situation where you're violated, you have personally been violated, there has to be some type of reconciliation where you kind of go full circle. And this is the completion of the circle now where the people who did this to her are going to finally face justice. And I think that's the most important part of what we're talking about now. I think the important thing, my client feels this way, and I would think also the victims feel this way, is that we want to see the perpetrators face justice and have a conclusion to this that brings a closure to this horrible event.” Kardashian, who has spoken openly about her hesitancy to wear large amounts of jewelry in public since the robbery, showed up to the courtroom wearing millions of dollars in jewels. She also said that she forgives the men, despite the trauma it caused her. On Friday, May 23, eight individuals were convicted in connection with the robbery: Aomar Aït Khedache, Yunice Abbas, Didier Dubreucq, Marc-Alexandre Boyer, Harminy Aït Khedache, Gary Madar, Florus Heroui and Christiane Glotin. Looking ahead, those who were found guilty will face prison terms to fines.
