Kim Kardashian is going to court.
Neary 10 years ago, the Kardashians star was robbed at gunpoint by five masked men who broke into her room at the No Address Hotel in Paris while she was there for Paris Fashion Week. After they gagged her and tied her up with cables and tape, the robbers placed her in the bathtub while they stole over $10 million worth of jewelry—including a $4 million ring from her then-husband Kanye West.
Following a lengthy investigation over the October 2016 incident, 10 people ultimately face charges.
Ahead of the trial, which is scheduled to take place from April 28 to May 23 and will see the SKIMS founder take the stand, here is everything to know about the ongoing case.
What Happened During Kim Kardashian’s Paris Robbery?
The SKIMS founder was alone in her bathrobe while her sister Kourtney Kardashian and her assistant were changing clothes downstairs in the early hours of Oct. 3, 2016, she said in a verbal statement to French police, later published in newspaper Le Journal du Dimance.
In her statement, Kim recounted two men barging into her room, wearing hoods and jackets that read “Police.” One of them, who wore a ski mask, pointed a weapon at her and demanded that she tell them where she kept her wedding ring.
Once she obliged, she told authorities the robbers pushed her onto the bed and emptied her purse before they tied her up with plastic cables, taped her mouth shut and used tape to bind her legs together. They then carried her to the bathtub and left her there until they made their escape, after which she ran to a neighboring room to call Kourtney.
