Kim Kardashian is expected to testify in Paris against ten men accused of carrying out the infamous 2016 robbery during which she was held at gunpoint and restrained with zip ties.
The incident saw her locked in a marble bathroom while masked assailants stole more than six million dollars’ worth of jewelry.
Kim Kardashian is preparing to share how the traumatic ordeal changed her life and underscored the risks associated with fame in the age of social media.
Her testimony is anticipated to be the most emotionally intense moment of the trial, which began last month.
Court officials are bracing for large crowds and have put strict security measures in place.
To accommodate media interest, a second courtroom has been arranged where journalists can watch the proceedings via a video link.
Kim Kardashian is expected to give a vivid and emotional account of the night, detailing how the intruders tied her hands, demanded her ring, and left her terrified she might not see her children again.
Twelve people were originally charged in connection with the case. One has since died, and another has been excused due to a serious illness.
Most of the defendants are in their 60s and 70s and have been nicknamed les papys braqueurs—or “the grandpa robbers”—by the French media, though authorities maintain they are an experienced and well-coordinated criminal gang.
