One of Kim Kardashian’s Paris robbers is doing some self-reflection.
The trial of the individuals accused of assaulting a Kardashian family member started in Paris on April 28, almost a decade after the incident took place at the No Address Hotel. For the first time, one of the defendants, Yunice Abbas, expressed remorse over his role in the $10 million heist.
Previously, the 71-year-old author, who had confessed to stealing from Kim Kardashian in his book titled “I Kidnapped Kim Kardashian” published in 2021, initially boasted about his actions. However, during a court hearing, as reported by BBC, he expressed remorse for his actions, stating, “this time I truly regret what I did.
Abbas went on to say,” he explained further, revealing that every time he watched news about the incident on the jail TVs, it made him realize the pain and suffering he and his associates had inflicted upon the reality star. “What we took was just a handbag, but I’ve come to understand there’s more than just material loss attached to it.
Before the trial, scheduled to conclude on May 23, with Kim expected to testify on May 13, the suspect previously described the events of that night in Paris with a sense of excitement.
A robbery took place right in the center of Paris, reminiscent of days gone by,” Abbas wrote about the 2016 event in his biography, implying that he was unaware of their victim’s identity during their peaceful heists. “Goosebumps of excitement run through me.
Besides Abbas, ten other individuals, who are collectively referred to as the “grandpa robbers” by the French media because of their advanced age during the robbery, are also accused of robbery and kidnapping related to the incident. Meanwhile, one defendant in this case has reportedly passed away according to The New York Times, while another was found unfit for trial due to ill health.
What transpired the night of the robbery, you ask? In a statement published by French newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche back in 2017, Kim Kardashian recounted to French police that during her visit for Paris Fashion Week, two individuals forced their way into her hotel room. These intruders were wearing hoods and jackets with “Police” emblazoned on them.
In the incident where they broke in, a 44-year-old woman claimed that the burglars bound her using plastic wires, covered her mouth with tape, and then transported her to the bathtub. Subsequently, they made off with jewelry, electronics, and other costly items estimated to be over $10 million in value.
Despite the harrowing event, Kim continued to grapple with the lingering pain that the traumatic heist left behind.
After the terrifying experience of the heist, Kim struggled with the long-lasting distress it brought about.
For about a year, I came close to losing my sense of self, as stated on a 2017 episode of The Alec Baldwin Show. “I wasn’t clinically depressed, but I lacked the drive to get up and work like I once did. It was unsettling.
Even though I can still feel the chill of terror coursing through me when I recall that pivotal instant where my heart raced with fear for her safety, she shared that she felt “appreciative” for the profound insights that emerged from that life-altering experience.
Kim shared that despite being awful and something she wouldn’t want for anyone else, it significantly altered her life in a way that allows her to rediscover herself now,” she said. “I used to define myself by my possessions, thinking ‘I’m so valuable because I have so much.’ However, this mindset needed to be transformed within me.
