Kim Kardashian has been awarded a symbolic €1 in damages following her terrifying ordeal of being robbed at gunpoint in Paris a decade ago.
Kim Kardashian has been awarded a symbolic €1 in damages following her terrifying ordeal of being robbed at gunpoint.
The 45-year-old reality superstar was held up in her Paris hotel room in 2016 and had $10m worth of jewellery stolen from her, and after a gang, with the average age of 70, were found guilty of charges connected to the heist last May, she had sought the modest payout in a civil case.
Kim's stylist, Simone Harouche - who was staying with the star and locked herself in a bathroom to text a bodyguard during the robbery - received the same symbolic amount.
A joint statement from the pair read: “The experience was deeply traumatic, and its impact has stayed with us. Today’s decision is not about the compensation, but about accountability and recognition.
“We are thankful to the Court and everyone who supported us throughout this process, and we hope to now move forward and continue to heal.”
According to reports, a former receptionist at the Hôtel de Pourtalès, where the heist took place, received €109,516 and the hotel itself received €50,000.
Last year, the court found ringleader Aomar Ait Khedache, 70, known as "Old Omar", and seven others guilty, while it acquitted two of the defendants, after a four-week trial.
All those involved were able to walk free due to time already served.
