The reality star and aspiring attorney speaks out as her robbers face justice.

Kim Kardashian has officially broken her silence following the conviction of the men responsible for her traumatic 2016 robbery in Paris. While 2025 has been filled with personal turbulence—largely due to ongoing drama involving ex-husband Kanye West—this moment brings a sense of closure for the media mogul.

Earlier this month, a French court found eight individuals guilty in connection to the high-profile heist, including the alleged ringleader. Two other defendants were acquitted.

Kardashian, who is preparing to sit for the bar exam after completing her legal studies, shared a statement through her attorneys Michael Rhodes, Léonor Hennerick, and Jonathan Mattout, obtained by Hollywood Unlocked.

“The crime was the most terrifying experience of my life, leaving a lasting impact on me and my family,” she said. “While I’ll never forget what happened, I believe in the power of growth and accountability and pray for healing for all. I remain committed to advocating for justice and promoting a fair legal system.”

Her legal team added:

“She has shown immense bravery, not just in facing her captors but in continuing to advocate for justice. This is a significant moment of closure for her.”

A Haunting Memory and a Legal Turn

Kim’s testimony during the trial revealed the psychological toll of the incident. “I was certain that was the moment that he was going to rape me,” she stated. “I absolutely did think I was going to die.”

More than the valuables stolen, it was her fear for her children and her own survival that dominated her thoughts. “I have babies,” she said. “I have to make it home. They can take everything. I just have to make it home.”

Looking Ahead: From Survivor to Legal Advocate

In a poignant twist of fate, this legal resolution comes just as Kardashian reaches a major milestone in her legal journey. After years of study, she recently graduated from her personalized law program and is now preparing to take the bar.

Having used her platform in recent years to speak on justice reform and wrongful convictions, Kardashian’s voice is becoming increasingly influential in the legal space. As she closes the chapter on one of the darkest periods in her life, all eyes are now on how she’ll channel her experiences into future advocacy.
