Revenge is a dish best served ice-cold. 

A weeping Kim Kardashian wearing $7 million in diamonds has told one of her alleged robbers that she forgives him.

The stunning words came after she described to a French court how she was certain she would be raped and murdered after her attackers tied her up half-naked during her terrifying robbery at a Paris hotel in 2016.

Kardashian arrived at a French courthouse Tuesday wearing a vintage black John Galliano suit and Saint Laurent heels to finally stare down the group of 10 now-elderly crooks who allegedly stole $10 million in jewelry from her at gunpoint during Paris Fashion Week.

Wearing a spectacular diamond necklace by Samer Halimeh New York worth a whopping $3 million, the Skims creator was dressed to the nines as she sported a shimmering anklet, a ring and a number of diamond earrings — including an $8,100 Briony Raymond ear cuff — as she stepped into court with mom Kris Jenner, according to Page Six.

The necklace contained 80 diamonds, including a 10.13-carat pear-shaped center stone, and was crafted from 18-karat white gold.

Alone, the necklace weighs in at a staggering 52.17 carats.

She also sported a massive ring worth more than $4 million which she bought as an even bigger replacement for the one stolen during the robbery with the insurance payout, PageSix revealed.

For a spell after the 2016 robbery, Kardashian stopped wearing real jewelry.

Her dark hair was worn pulled back in a polished twist.

Kim’s mom Kris wore a plaid blazer and black slacks as she accompanied her daughter into court.

Kardashian was asked about the letter one of her alleged attackers, Aomar Ait Khedache, wrote to her from prison after his arrest in 2017, begging for forgiveness.

She did not look at her defendant as the letter was read out, but began to cry.

“I am obviously emotional about it — this experience changed my life, my family’s life,” she told the court, after admitting she hadn’t known about Khedache’s letter.

“Back home in the States, I work in the justice system, and I want so badly to be a lawyer, and I fight for people to seek justice.

“I do appreciate the letter for sure. I do appreciate it, I forgive you,” she said, gesturing toward Khedache.

Saying she has “spent a lot of time in prisons around people that committed crimes,” she added, “I really do believe in second chances and believe in rehabilitation.”

Earlier, the reality star said she prayed that her sister Kourtney wouldn’t return to find her bloody, lifeless body, and pleaded for her life during the harrowing heist at her hotel almost a decade ago.

Kardashian, 44, described how one of the thugs taped her hands and her mouth while another held a gun to her.

Kardashion was bound and gagged during the ordeal, according to reports.
The trial happened nearly 10 years after the incident.

“He grabs my legs and pulls me. I’m naked and my everything is exposed. I was sure that I was going to be raped,” she told the court.

Laying out her fears for her family, she added how she thought that her sister Kourtney would return to find “that I would be dead on the bed, shot dead, and that she should have this memory forever,” during the chilling testimony.

“I absolutely thought I was going to die,” she replied to presiding judge David De Pas’ question as to whether she feared for her life.

She described how she was in bed at the swanky Hôtel de Pourtalès in 2016 when she heard “stomping” outside before men dressed as police officers entered the room with the concierge, who had been handcuffed.

“I obviously was very confused when they walked in,” she said, adding that she kept asking the concierge what was happening, before one of the thieves pointed at her hand and said the word “ring,” over and over.

“I said to the concierge, ‘I have babies, tell them, I just have to make it home,’” she told the court, describing how she was “pretty hysterical” as she spoke to the hotel employee, who was acting as translator.

She said the concierge chillingly replied, “I don’t know if we’re going to die.”

Later, after the thieves left, a terrified Kardashian was able to get her hands free while her ankles and mouth were still taped up, she told the court.

She said she hopped down the stairs to find her stylist and childhood friend, Simone Harouche, who was staying on the floor below.

Harouche helped to cut the zip ties off her ankles, and the pair ran and hid in the bushes outside while Kardashian called her mom, Kris Jenner, she said.

When the police arrived, she remembered “being confused if they were real police because the other guys were dressed as police. I didn’t know who to trust,” she said.

The defendants, whom the French press had dubbed the “grandpa bandits,” are mostly now in their 60s and 70s and have a range of ailments.

At the time, they allegedly made off on bicycles following the Oct. 3, 2016, heist.

Kardashian’s French legal team previously told media in Paris that the Skims co-founder, 44, was committed to “confronting those who attacked her.”

“She will do so with dignity and courage,” her lawyers said last week.

Only one item — a diamond-encrusted cross — has since been recovered from the robbery, which happened when Kardashian was in town for Paris Fashion Week.

The $4 million, 18.8-carat diamond ring from West has never been found.

Kardashian also described how she had transformed her security procedures as a result of her harrowing experience.

Before the robbery, she would often share security with her sister, she said.

“My style in security is completely different now than it was back then,” she said, adding that a guard was now present in each car.

“We try to have security in all the rooms, she said, adding that she no longer posted to social media in real time unless it was on a public schedule.

“It has changed my business in that sense,” she said.
