"Through the door, I saw two people arrive, plus the night man who was tied up," she recalled, as quoted by People magazine.

"They dragged me out onto the hallway on top of the stairs," Kardashian recounted, adding, "That's when I saw the gun clear, like clear as day. I was kind of looking at the gun, looking down back at the stairs."Reflecting on her moment of fear, she added, "I had a split second to decide--do I try to run? But if I do, they might shoot me in the back. It makes me so upset to think about it."

The robbery was widely reported at the time, with many speculating about how the thieves had managed to gain access to Kardashian's apartment.

I can't imagine how terrifying that must have been for her. No one deserves to go through that trauma, celebrity or not. Hope she gets justice. 🙏

While I sympathize with her experience, I do wonder why she was traveling with millions in jewelry and minimal security. Seems like an unnecessary risk.

The fact that she's willing to testify in person shows real courage. PTSD from something like this doesn't just go away. Respect.

That Paris apartment security must have been terrible. How do armed robbers just walk in like that? 🤔

People forget this was real trauma just because she's famous. The way she described being at gunpoint gave me chills. Hope the trial brings closure.
