Kim Kardashian spoke about the Paris robbery last night and had everyone in tears
In the latest episode of E!'s 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians', Kim talked her family and us all through the October 2016 robbery during which she thought she was going to be raped and killed.
Kim walked her family through the entire ordeal over the course of the episode, talking about how at first she thought the robbers were her sister and friend coming home drunk but then things quickly became clear to her after she saw the two men dressed as police handcuffing the hotel concierge.
"They dragged me out on to the hallway on top of the stairs," Kim explained. "That’s when I saw the gun clear, like clear as day. I was kind of looking at the gun, looking down back at the stairs."
"I was like, ‘I have a split second in my mind to make this quick decision,’ Am I going to run down the stairs and either be shot in the back? It makes me so upset to think about it. Either they’re going to shoot me in the back, or if I make it and they don’t, if the elevator does not open in time, or the stairs are locked, then like I’m f*cked. There’s no way out."
After she was dragged back into her room, Kardashian then revealed she thought "This is the moment they’re going to rape me. I fully mentally prepped myself, and then he didn’t."
"I just prayed that Kourtney’s going to have a normal life after she sees my dead body on the bed. I have a family. I have my kids, my husband, my mom — I’m not going to make it out of here. I know how these things go."

However, I thought it was important to share this story through my eyes & not in an interview where my own words could be twisted.

I took a tragic horrific experience and did not let it diminish me, rather grew and evolved and allowed the experience to teach me.

Say what you want about the Kardashians, but their unconditional care and concern for each other is not to be overlooked. #Family @KUWTK
