Kim Kardashian has reportedly used her $10million jewelry heist trial for reality TV content, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

Kardashian made headlines when she flew to France to testify against the defendants who were accused of storming into her Paris hotel room in 2016 and stealing millions from her, including her $4million engagement ring from then-fiancé Kanye West.

On the witness stand, the Skims founder recalled the terrifying event and thinking she would be raped or killed by the "grandpa gang" members, who were found guilty of the crime.

An insider said 'everything is content' for the Skims founder.

But sources alleged Kardashian had more than just her mom, Kris Jenner, with her at the Parisian courthouse.

Insiders claimed the 43-year-old brought along a "full entourage" complete with a film crew to record her journey, presumably to be used in her family's Hulu reality show The Kardashians.

While Kardashian was praised for her bravery in facing her attackers in court, one source said: "Let's be honest – everything is content for Kim."

Kardashian's film crew was said to make French authorities 'uncomfortable' during the trial.

Kardashian made a statement when she showed up for her testimony. The billionaire was dripping in diamonds – reportedly wearing over $1.5million in jewels, which some fans branded a "power move."

But the insider claimed the real drama was taking place outside the courtroom.

The source explained: "Her team was constantly asking where they could set up for confessionals between breaks. It was like a scene from Law & Order: The Kardashians."

They shared: "This was one of the darkest times in her life. If sharing it helps someone, or adds ratings, she's going to do it."
