Wednesday, September 16, 2026 - A Paris court on Tuesday, September 15, awarded 1 euro ($1.15) to Kim Kardashian for having been the victim of an armed robbery in the French capital in 2016.
Kardashian has sought to move on since the court
last year found eight people guilty for their roles in what the
celebrity described as “the most terrifying experience of my life.”
In Tuesday’s joint statement with stylist Simone Harouche,
Kardashian expressed gratitude to the French justice system.
“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,” the statement to The Associated Press from the
two Americans read.
“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.”
The sum awarded to Kim Kardashian is the amount of
compensation she had asked for, according to a lawyer involved in the
case.
The court awarded a former receptionist at the Hôtel de
Pourtalès 109,516 euros ($126,472), according to his lawyer.
Kardashian had been staying at the hotel when the robbery
gang targeted her.
The receptionist said he had been traumatized by the Oct. 2,
2016, jewel heist during Fashion Week.
He had sought 550,000 euros ($634,868) in damages and
interest.
His lawyer, Mohand Ouidja, welcomed the decision as a
victory.
The court awarded the hotel 50,000 euros ($57,741).
It awarded 1 euro — the amount she had requested — to
Harouche, Kardashian’s stylist who was present during the robbery.
Kardashian said in a statement issued after their conviction
that she was “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,” the celebrity said.
“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
