Kim Kardashian has "forgiven" the ringleader of her Paris robbery.
The 44-year-old reality superstar was held in her French hotel room in 2016 and had $10m worth of jewellery stolen from her but as she faced defendant Aomar Ait Khedache in court on Tuesday (13.05.25), she insisted that she "appreciated" him writing her a letter of apology shortly after his arrest - although she was not aware of it at the time - but claimed that the whole "traumatic" ordeal has changed her life regardless.
She told the court: "I am obviously emotional about it - this experience changed my life, my family's life.
"Back home in the States I work in the justice system and I want so badly to be a lawyer and I fight for people to seek justice.
"I do appreciate the letter for sure. I do appreciate it, I forgive you.
"But it doesn't change the emotion, the feelings and the trauma and the way my life has changed."
Shortly after she offered her forgiveness, she was passed a note by the defendant around the time a short break was called in the trial.
It read: "Your forgiveness is a sunshine that has enlightened me... I am forever grateful."
Khedhache - who is deaf and mute - is alleged to be one of the two men who pointed a gun in Kardashian's face during the heist.
In the letter - which was read out to the court by Judge David De Pas - Khedache claimed he was not after "forgiveness" from Kardashian, but wanted her to know how much he "regrets" what he did.
He said: "Madame, after seeing you in a French TV show and seeing your emotion and realising what psychological harm I did to you, that I decided to write to you.
"Not with the aim of getting forgiveness... I want to tell you human to human how I regret my actions and how I was touched to see you cry... I am sorry for the pain I caused you, your husband, you children and those who love you.
"Of course you can't undo the past but I hope this letter will help you forget the trauma you endured because of me."
