Kim Kardashian is heading back to Paris—not for couture, but for court. Nearly a decade after she was robbed at gunpoint in her luxury hotel suite, Kim K will take the stand this May to testify against the twelve alleged masterminds behind the $10 million jewel heist that sent her entire security strategy (and public image) into meltdown mode.

The 2016 robbery—carried out by a gang so old-school they literally used bicycles as getaway vehicles—made headlines worldwide. Disguised as police, they forced their way into her private residence, tied her up, and made off with enough diamonds to make a Bond villain blush. Among the haul? A $4 million ring from then-husband Kanye West, who was presumably off somewhere planning his next fashion line inspired by dystopia and denim.

Now, Kim’s ready to face the gang in court. It's expected to be high-drama, high-security, and high-profile. She’ll relive the moment she feared for her life and possibly get closure on an event that made her rethink fame, privacy, and how many security guards are “enough.” But the defendants aren’t exactly dripping with remorse.

Several have given interviews bragging about how easy it was to track her through social media. Lesson here? Maybe don’t live-post your million-dollar ring at 2am from a location you’ve geo-tagged. Sources: RTE, NBC New York (April 2025)
