Kim Kardashian is going to court.
Neary 10 years ago, the Kardashians star was robbed at gunpoint by five masked men who broke into her room at the No Address Hotel in Paris while she was there for Paris Fashion Week.

Following a lengthy investigation over the October 2016 incident, 10 people ultimately face charges.

Once she obliged, she told authorities the robbers pushed her onto the bed and emptied her purse before they tied her up with plastic cables, taped her mouth shut and used tape to bind her legs together.
