Kim Kardashian has spoken out for the first time following the conclusion of her Paris robbery trial. On Friday, a French court found eight people guilty of stealing millions of dollars worth of jewelry from Kardashian's hotel room back in 2016, and holding her at gunpoint during the crime.
"The crime was the most terrifying experience of my life, leaving a lasting impact on me and my family," Kardashian explained. "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.”
Kardashian's attorneys Michael Rhodes, Léonor Hennerick, and Jonathan Mattou added that their client "appreciates the Court’s decision and once again thanks the French authorities for treating her with great respect throughout the process."
"It has been a long journey from that terrible night back in 2016 to her standing courageously in a historic Paris courtroom to confront these criminals," their statement continued. "[Kardashian] looks forward to putting this tragic episode behind her, as she continues working to improve the criminal justice system on behalf of victims, the innocent, and the incarcerated seeking to redeem themselves."
In her testimony earlier this month, Kardashian revealed that she feared for her life during the attack, adding that she "said a prayer" for her family and friends.
"I absolutely did think I was gonna die," she said. "They picked me up off the bed and and grabbed me and took me down the hallway to look for more jewelry, more stuff."
