During Paris Fashion Week, Kim Kardashian was the victim of a violent assault in the Hotel de Pourtales suite. Five armed men, disguised as police, entered with the handcuff. They tied her, dragged her and robbed her jewelry valued at almost 10 million dollars, including her commitment ring of 18.9 carats, gift from her then husband Kanye West.
Dressed in black and escorted by her mother, Kris Jenner, the businesswoman thanked the Court for allowing her to “tell her truth.” In his testimony, he described how he woke up in Bata when the thieves entered his room. “I was sure they were going to rape me,” he said in a broken voice. He said he prayed for his family, convinced that he would not leave alive.
Although it was not beaten, she said she was lifted and thrown to the ground. Initially, one of the assailants seemed to calm her, but then became aggressive and groped her. The scene left Kardashian completely vulnerable.
His assistant and stylist, Simone Harouche, also testified. He slept on a lower floor and alarmed when he heard the screams. “It was a sound that I had never heard from Kim. It was terror,” he said. From the bathroom, he contacted Kourtney – Kim’s sister – and the bodyguard to ask for help.

When he went down, he saw Kardashian with his feet tied and shock. “I thought it could have been raped. I had never seen her like this,” said Harouche, who said both suffer psychological sequelae since then.
The trial, which began on April 28, 2025, faces ten defendants – new men and a woman, nicknamed “the thieves’ grandparents” for their age. One of them, Yunice Abbas, already confessed his participation and asked for forgiveness. The verdict for May 23 is expected. Some could receive up to 30 years in prison.
