Kim Kardashian may have to relive a traumatic 2016 robbery in which she had a gun held to her head as a trial over the robbery begins in Paris.

The 44-year-old reality star is expected to testify in the trial — which commenced at Paris’ Palais de Justice on Monday — nearly a decade after the jewel theft, according to Sky News.

On October 2, 2016, she was robbed of her jewels by five men disguised as police officers who were described in French media as the ‘Grandpa Gang’ due to the advanced age of the alleged robbers — though some of the people charged with the crime are fairly young and one defendant is a woman.

Shockingly, Kim was seen flashing incredibly valuable jewelry in public just days before news broke that she would likely testify, which led to widespread criticism, including from jewelry experts.

In a statement, Kardashian’s attorney Michael Rhodes confirmed that she would likely testify next month. 

‘[Kim] Kardashian is preserving her testimony for the Court and jury and does not wish to elaborate further on it at this stage,’ he said. ‘She has tremendous appreciation and admiration for the French judicial system and has been treated with great respect by the French authorities.’

The defendants are accused of holding a H๏τel concierge hostage at gunpoint in order to gain entrance to Kardashian’s room. 

Once inside the reality star–turned–actress’ room, they allegedly pointed a gun at her and ordered her to remove her mᴀssive engagement ring from then-husband Kanye West.

The robbery took a horrific turn as the robbers bound her arms and legs with zip ties and covered her eyes and mouth with duct tape.

Kardashian, who reportedly begged for her life during the shocking robbery, eventually managed to wriggle her hands free and removed the tape over her mouth to cry out for help.

It was too late, as the robbers had already escaped with a box of her jewelry, most of which was never recovered.

Due to the age of the senior robbers, one defendant has already died, while another is set to have a separate trial.

Eight of the ten defendants in the long-awaited group trial continue to maintain their innocence.

Kardashian was criticized in some corners after the robbery for her public displays of incredible wealth, which may have made it easier for robbers to determine that she had plenty of valuables with her while she attended Paris Fashion Week in 2016.

While many overlooked the luxe accessories wrapped around the SKIMS founder’s ankle, Chafe pointed out that ‘cost more than’ a house.

‘She stacked four anklets on top of each other, added a tennis anklet, a pink sapphire and diamond anklet that gave off major Princess Diana vibes, each sapphire probably around three carats, which is bigger than a lot of engagement rings out there,’ Chafe claimed.

Chafe continued, saying the audacity of wearing the expensive jewelry on the beach is part of what makes the mother-of-four such a rare and remarkable person. 

‘The sheer audacity of wearing this much money on your foot at the beach is what makes Kim K so fabulous,’ Chafe said. 

Chafe went on to share that she admires Kim’s jewelry evolution over the years.

Among the jewels stolen was Kim’s 18.8 carat diamond and platinum engagement ring from Kanye West.

Meanwhile, Kim’s volatile ex-husband Kanye West is still stirring up trouble for her.

Most recently he went on a rant on Twitch about Kim, saying he should have had kids with Paris Hilton instead. 

The 47-year-old rapper — who recently went a month-long retreat that saved his marriage to Bianca Censori — made the wild claims in a rant on a livestream for a new Twitch channel which has since been banned.

He appeared on the stream and was speaking to someone on the phone when his shocking rant began.

Kanye had referenced how his ex Kim, got her start in the limelight by acting as Paris’ ᴀssistant.

He said: ‘Kim was Paris Hilton’s ᴀssistant. I should’ve had babies with Paris Hilton over Kim Kardashian!’
