Last Updated:
Kim Kardashian recalled chilling details as she testified in a French courtroom about the 2016 Paris robbery.
Reality star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian gave a chilling testimony in a French courtroom, recounting the terrifying 2016 robbery in Paris where she believed she would be raped and killed. Testifying before the court, Kardashian said, according to Unilad, 'I was certain that was the moment that he was going to rape me. I absolutely did think I was going to die."
She said one of the robbers pulled her toward him while she was wearing only a bathrobe. Her hands were tied with zip ties, and she was thrown onto a bed. Kardashian added that she began praying, trying to stay calm as she feared what might happen next. Instead of being assaulted, she said her legs were also tied, and a gun was pointed at her. 'They picked me up off the bed and grabbed me and took me down the hallway to look for more jewelry, more stuff," the reality TV star added.
One of the men had the gun to her back. She added, 'That was the first moment I thought should I run for it? But it wasn't an option so I just stayed – and that's the moment I realized I should just do whatever they say."
Kim Kardashian's 2016 Paris Robbery
In October 2016, Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in her Paris hotel room during Fashion Week. Five masked men, dressed as police officers, forced their way into her suite at the Hôtel de Pourtalès, tied her up, and stole approximately $10 million worth of jewelry, including a $4 million engagement ring from then-husband Kanye West. During the ordeal, Kardashian was bound, gagged, and placed in a bathtub, fearing for her life and believing she might be raped or killed. The suspects, dubbed the 'grandpa robbers", are part of a seasoned criminal ring.

Pupil Stabs To Death Assistant At French School
Paris: French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday condemned a "senseless wave of violence" after a teaching assistant stabbed by a 15-year-old pupil outside a school in the east of the country died of her wounds. The secondary school student was arrested after attacking the 31-year-old assistant with a knife during a bag search in Nogent in eastern France, officials said. France has in recent years seen a series of attacks on teachers and pupils by other schoolchildren. "While protecting our children, a teaching assistant lost her life, the victim of a senseless wave of violence," Macron wrote on X, commenting on the latest in a spate of such incidents at French schools. "The nation is in mourning and the government is mobilised to reduce crime," he added. Education Minister Elisabeth Borne was on her way to Nogent "to support the entire school community and the police." "I commend the composure and dedication of those who acted to subdue the attacker and protect the students and staff," she said on X. The pupil is 15 years old and did not have a criminal record. The teaching assistant received several knife wounds just as classes were starting, and the alleged attacker, who was overpowered by gendarmes, "appears to be a student at the school," education officials said. Have Had Enough In March, French police started random searches for knives and other weapons concealed in bags at and around schools. The teaching assistant was "simply doing her job by welcoming students at the entrance to the school", said Elisabeth Allain-Moreno, secretary general of the SE-UNSA teachers' union, expressing "immense pain". Ms Allain-Moreno said that the attack "shows that nothing can ever be completely secure and that it is prevention that needs to be focused on." Jean-Remi Girard, president of the National Union of Secondary Schools, added: "It's impossible to be more vigilant 24 hours a day. "We can't say that every student is a danger or a threat, otherwise we'd never get out of bed in the morning." French far-right leader Marine Le Pen denounced what she called the "normalisation of extreme violence, encouraged by the apathy of the authorities." "Not a week goes by without a tragedy striking a school," Ms Le Pen said on X. "The French people have had enough and are waiting for a firm, uncompromising and determined political response to the scourge of juvenile violence." At the end of April, after a fatal attack at a school in Nantes, the education ministry reported that 958 random bag checks in schools had led to the seizure of 94 knives. After that knife attack, which left one person dead and three injured, Prime Minister Francois Bayrou called for "more intensive checks around and inside schools".

Enchanteur's new ad celebrates the fragrance of bold femininity
HighlightsEnchanteur, a French-inspired fragrance brand from Wipro Yardley, has launched a new campaign for its perfumed body lotion, featuring a narrative of quiet strength and elegant resolve, created by the media-fluid agency Aha. The campaign showcases a woman who confidently steps into an MMA training arena, challenging stereotypes about female strength, culminating in her victory, symbolizing the enduring presence of the fragrance. The production involved a diverse global team, including a French director and a Canadian assistant director, and was filmed in Bangkok, emphasizing intentional storytelling that resonates emotionally and culturally. Enchanteur, the French-inspired fragrance from the house of Wipro Yardley has launched a new campaign for its perfumed body lotion , created by Aha, a media-fluid, business-first creative agency based in India and Dubai. The film tells a story of quiet strength and elegant resolve, qualities that define both the product and the woman it's made for. The story begins in an elevator. A woman dressed in soft pink enters, calm and composed, her fragrance gently filling the space. Beside her stands a man, sensing her presence without a word. As the doors open, she walks out, leaving behind a scarf, a quiet trace of who she is. Moments later, the scene shifts to an MMA training studio. The man is now in the arena, immersed in a high-adrenaline sparring session. He effortlessly takes down his opponent. The coach asks, 'Anyone else?' The woman steps forward. 'Me,' she says. The man glances at her, momentarily taken aback, not out of disrespect, but shaped by a familiar hesitation. It's a look that reflects how strength in women is often met with surprise, a quiet echo of the stereotypes still embedded in everyday moments. What follows is a sequence of strength and fluidity. She moves with precision, her energy focused and effortless. There's no hesitation, no need to prove anything. And then, in a final moment of clarity and control, she outmaneuvers her opponent and wins the bout. Her presence speaks louder than any celebration could. Throughout the choreography, a flowing scarf appears again, mirroring the way her fragrance moves with her. It's not just a detail. It's a reminder that her confidence lingers, long after she's left the room. 'With this campaign, we set out to create more than just a visual narrative. We wanted to build a character and a world that felt emotionally grounded and culturally resonant. The fragrance became our metaphor for presence. From scripting to set design to choreography, every frame was engineered to hold emotion, not just aesthetics. That is the kind of storytelling we believe in at Aha. It is intentional, human, and built to endure,' said Sushobhan Chowdhury, founder and creative strategist, Aha The campaign launched during Eid, introducing a new perfumed body lotion formulated for hot summer months. To realise the story, Aha auditioned over 40 women before casting the Italian-Brazilian lead who trained in MMA choreography to bring both physical authenticity and elegance to the screen. The production brought together a global team: a French director, Canadian assistant director, Bangkok-based director of photography and a cast from across Europe and the Middle East. Shot in Bangkok, the film's setting, a raw, open studio, allowed for every movement to take visual focus. The campaign is now live across television, streaming platforms, digital media, cinema halls and outdoor screens in the GCC. This campaign marks a confident new chapter for Enchanteur, celebrating presence, fragrance and the kind of power that makes an impression without ever raising its voice, the brand stated in a press note.
