Kim Kardashian has spoken out after eight individuals were found guilty in the trial over her 2016 Paris robbery, saying the incident was the ‘most terrifying experience’ of her life

After taking the stand at a trial in Paris, where the armed robbers who burst into her Paris hotel room and held her at gunpoint in October 2016 were found guilty, Kim Kardashian has spoken out.

The ordeal took place almost ten years ago, with robbers making off with jewels from Kim’s hotel room, but the legal proceedings only just wrapped up on May 23. Millions worth of jewelry was stolen, including a $4.5 million engagement ring given by her then-husband Kanye West, as she faced the threat of a gunpoint robbery.

Ten people went on trial in the French capital for their involvement in the robbery and faced charges including armed robbery and kidnapping in an organised gang. During the terrifying incident, Kim, who was in Paris for Fashion Week, was tied up and held at gunpoint by the men.

A six-member jury, led by three judges, came to a verdict today in Paris. They found the ringleader and seven others guilty, with two of the 10 defendants acquitted.

She expressed her gratitude to French law enforcement to NBC News: “I am deeply grateful to the French authorities for pursuing justice in this case. The crime was the most terrifying experience of my life, leaving a lasting impact on me and my family. 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.”

Reflecting on the harrowing event, Kim divulged that she feared for her life so much that she became numb to the fact they wanted her jewelry and told them to take it. “So, I said a prayer for my family and my mom and my sister and best friend,” she disclosed.

Of those involved, eight were found culpable, although two were cleared of allegations connected to organizing and performing the heist. Aomar Ait Kedach, identified as the ringleader, was charged with armed theft and kidnapping leading to involuntary detention, reports the Mirror US.

Kim Kardashian gave a heartfelt testimony at the trial on May 13, sharing with the court: “I came to Paris for Fashion Week, and Paris is always a place that I love so much, but when I came for Fashion Week during that trip, it changed everything.”

Her legal team, Michael Rhodes, Léonor Hennerick, and Jonathan Mattou, released a joint statement expressing gratitude, “Kim appreciates the Court’s decision and once again thanks the French authorities for treating her with great respect throughout the process.”

They included in their message the impact this event has had on Kim’s advocacy efforts: “She 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.”

This news comes in the wake of another legal triumph for Kim. The owner of SKIMS reached a milestone by completing her law apprenticeship, making her eligible to sit the bar exam in the USA. Kim took to Instagram to celebrate this accomplishment, donning a cap and gown for a mock graduation captured on her story.

Jessica Jackson, who mentored Kim, praised her commitment to the programme, saying: “Six years ago, Kim Kardashian walked into this programme with nothing but a fierce desire to fight for justice. No law school lectures, no ivory tower shortcuts, just determination. And a mountain of case law books to read.”

B was given 17 volumes of his personal journals which she kept a secret for years but has now handed them over to rock biographer Lesley-Ann Jones, which form the basis of the book that’ll be released later this year. It tells the story of a child who was accidentally conceived during a fling. The news is set to come as a huge shock to Freddie’s fans, as no one had every suggested the existence of a secret love child.

Jones was approached by B three years ago and initially had reservations. “My instinct was to doubt everything, but I am absolutely sure she is not a fantasist,” she said. The author said B has never asked for money and does not want recognition.

Addressing why she wanted to speak out now, B wrote in a letter included in the book: “After more than three decades of lies, speculation and distortion, it is time to let Freddie speak. Those who have been aware of my existence kept his greatest secret out of loyalty to Freddie. That I choose to reveal myself in my own midlife is my decision and mine alone.”

Freddie’s secret daughter is also a mum, making him a posthumous grandfather. This revelation will undoubtedly stun Freddie’s fans, as there had never been any hint of a concealed child. She remembered being brought up by a loving family, but always knowing that the legendary musician was her father.

Freddie Mercury’s previously unknown daughter B, has opened up about her unique connection with the legendary Queen frontman. In a heartfelt message unveiled in a book, she said, “Freddie Mercury was and is my father. We had a very close and loving relationship from the moment I was born and throughout the final 15 years of his life.

“He adored me and was devoted to me. The circumstances of my birth may seem, by most people’s standards, unusual and even outrageous. That should come as no surprise. It never detracted from his commitment to love and look after me. He cherished me like a treasured possession,” as disclosed by the Daily Mail.

Back in the ’80s, the iconic singer indulged in a whirlwind love life, including a fling with Austrian actress Barbara Valentin and fathering a secretive child with another unnamed woman. Freddie’s romantic history was indeed dynamic, having relationships with both women and men; notably his long-term companion Mary Austin, whom he met when she was only 19 and before he achieved worldwide fame.

Despite severing their engagement when Freddie candidly revealed his sexuality, the bond between him and Mary Austin stayed unbreakable. Mary raised two sons from another relationship and maintained a significant presence in Freddie’s life right up to his untimely death.

Fern Britton, a TV star, enjoys living in Cornwall but admits to missing out on special someone.

She is back in great shape but Fern Britton is not hankering for a TV comeback or a man in her life. Instead she wants to continue to write bestselling books from her Cornwall home. At 67, it is now five years since her 20-year marriage to TV chef Phil Vickery ended, but Fern insists: “I’m not looking for love.

I’m still a little too cautious about losing my freedom, she said. Why don’t I just make my own decision when there isn’t anyone to run something past? On the other hand, I frequently think about running things past people, but it never really worked. The only way to go is then, “I f***ed up there,” I say.

It would be foolish to say that I feel spot on 100% of the time, but I’m feeling pretty good. Cats make wonderful companions, but there are times when I feel quite alone because sitting and writing alone is lonely, which is okay to acknowledge.

A Cornish Legacy, Fern’s eleventh novel, centers on Wilderhoo, a fictional 1, 000-year-old Cornish house that has gone rack and ruin. Fern is speaking to Woman&amp, Home magazine about it.

The main character, who was extremely successful in London and whose life has completely unraveled, must at least be a little autobiographical. She travels to Cornwall to repair this house, the house, and the woman’s relationship.

Fern cites her own recent improvements in health and weight loss as evidence that “people frequently wonder whether losing a lot of weight has come naturally.” And I can say, “Yes, I have,” as you can see. I had my shoulder replaced 18 months ago, and two-and-a-half years ago, the surgeon told me, “I’m going to completely replace your shoulder, I’ll see you in a year.” I

I needed to restart my life, I thought. I need to stop smoking, stop drinking, control my eating, and stop stumbling in my bed and feeling guilty about myself. So I started the Couch to 5k, cut off about 80% of my sugar intake, and began to consider what I was eating, something I had never done before.

I had a big sugar addiction when I was younger because I simply couldn’t stop eating it. I never had the option to “Stop eating, you’ve had enough.” Strangely, having three wise meals per day for the past 60 years, which everyone has recommended, actually worked!

The only health issue she encounters is her youthful appearance, which is the only one that she lacks. I’m becoming more deaf. I got hearing aids about ten years ago, but I just couldn’t bear it. A year later, I decided to try them once more. I’m wearing them today, but they make me crazy because I have to keep going. Because I can hear the entire room’s clatter louder, I can’t hear anyone any clearer.

“It’s lovely to take them out, but I also realize that [without them] I miss out on a lot of things and mishear everything.” I try to read only one word, which is frustrating.

Fern’s slim look makes her perfect for also heading back to the small screen and more TV work in the coming years if she headed back to London. She returned to This Morning last year for a series of shorts about the British Isles. And then there is also her own ITV show Fern Britton: Inside the Vet’s.

However, she seems to want to spend the majority of her time in Cornwall writing novels in 2025. She referred to the movies on This Morning as “funny but I won’t be going back to do This Morning.” My motto is, “Never go back,” for any reason. Never look back and never go back.

I honestly don’t watch it. When you’ve spent time there, you realize that it’s going to change and that’s not what you want. She continues, “It has taken me a long time to accept that my main focus is now being a writer.” Yes, I am now an author, I swear!

On Friday night, soap star Elle Mulvaney was spotted smitten with a mysterious new man in the VIP area of Radio 1’s Big Weekender.

Coronation Street star Elle Mulvaney cosied up to a new mystery man during Radio 1’s Big Weekender, one month on from her split from co-star Liam Scholes. The 22-year-old actress, who plays Amy Barlow on the ITV soap, was seen looking ‘loved-up’ and smitten with her new man as they couldn’t keep their hands off one another in the VIP section of the festival on Friday night.

Speaking about their undeniable connection, a source told The Mirror that Elle looked relaxed around her mystery man and that the pair were not shy about showing affection for one another. “Ellie and the guy looked very happy to be in one another’s company.

They appeared very cosy together, Ellie seemed relaxed as she approached the guy, and it appears that she had moved on from Liam, they continued.

Last May, Elle split with her co-star boyfriend. The Coronation Street star dated Liam, who plays Eli Higginson on the popular ITV soap opera. However, they went their separate ways after two years when they were once inseparable and “did everything together”.

A source close to the former couple said at the time of their split that Elle and Liam were “loved young dreamers and did everything together.” No one is certain exactly what caused their split, despite the fact that their families and co-stars have been deeply shocked. The insider added that it was all “very sudden.”

They continued, “The lovers have both made it clear to friends that it would take a miracle for them to reunite.” In 2022, Elaine and Liam first started to grow in a close relationship, and they eventually fell in love.

Elle and Liam even spent Christmas together back in 2023 as the actress took to Instagram on Christmas Day to share a sweet festive photo. The pair posed as they snuggled up together beside an impressive Christmas tree.

The festive tree was decorated with large baubles, crowns, and stars, while Elle was wearing a black dress with dazzling details and strappy white heels.

Fans quickly applauded the adorable photo after Elle uploaded it to her Instagram account. She simply stated, “Christmas 2023,” the moment’s ending. Soon after, Coronation Street actress Harriet Bibby wrote, “Merry Christmas, lovely pair,” and soon fans and friends began to express their gratitude.

Merry Christmas, another follower wrote. May you have a happy day. “. And a third social media user responded with, “Awww, Merry Christmas, Liam, and Elle.”

She previously praised her former relationship with Liam, claiming that his acting ability makes him aware of the demands of her demanding job.

She stated OK! He’s been brilliant, according to the magazine’s article in March, because he is as well-versed in acting as a result. When he played Eli in Corrie, he has dealt with some backlash in the past. He’s always been very patient, and if I’m having a bad day, he’ll say, “Let’s go for a Chinese.”

When asked if it was true love, she exuberantly responded, “Yes! It is going very well, and it is going well.
