Reality star Kim Kardashian, 36, is finally testifying about her harrowing ordeal in Paris in October 2016.
According to TMZ, a French judge flew to New York to listen to
her account about being bound, gagged, held at gunpoint, and stripped of
millions of dollars worth of jewelry. Under French law, judges are
reportedly permitted to travel to hear testimony, especially in
high-profile cases, and Kardashian will not be subjected to
cross-examination.
"They have a lot of evidence that's not out there in the media," a source told Us Weekly.
"Kim is anxious to get this behind her but remains appreciative to the
French authorities who have been really thorough and she's happy justice
is going to be served."
TMZ also noted that Kardashian
brought her two children, North, 3, and Saint, 1, with her to the Big
Apple, but that husband Kanye West, 39, stayed behind. Kardashian was
allegedly concerned that in the wake of West's November 2016 breakdown,
joining her may be too stressful for him.
At the time of this writing, ten suspects have been arrested in
connection with the crime, and Kardashian's statement to police from the
night of the incident has also been released. In that statement,
Kardashian said she may be able to identify two of her attackers. One of
the alleged robbers, Aomar Ait Khedache, told authorities (via Us Weekly)
that "someone who was very close to her" gave the robbers "very precise
information" about her whereabouts and her schedule leading up to the
crime, but didn't specify who it was. Khedache also reportedly confirmed
that most of Kardashian's jewelry was melted down and sold on the black
market, meaning she'll never see it again.
Thankfully, it's not all doom and gloom for Kim K. Us Weekly
reported that she and West are releasing a children's clothing line and
are using their daughter, North, to model the designs on social media. The Sun
reported that West will also present his Yeezy Season 5 collection at
New York Fashion Week in February 2017—his first work event since his
breakdown.
