Kim Kardashian has told of how she believed sheâd be raped and shot in the head during her Paris robbery ordeal.
The star relived the terrifying attack, which saw her held hostage in her French hotel room while thieves ÂŁ7.7 million worth of jewellery last October, on the latest episode of her reality show âKeeping Up With The Kardashiansâ.
In scenes that aired on Sunday (19 March) night in the US, Kim became incredibly emotional as she told her sisters Khloe and Kourtney about the incident.
Speaking back home in LA following the robbery, she recounted the events, saying: âI was laying in bed like, âShould I wash my face? Iâm tired, Iâm in my robe, I need to get up and wash my face.â
âAnd then 10 minutes later I was dozing and then I heard pounding up the stairs. I thought it was you [Kourtney] and Stephanie [Kimâs assistant] drunk. I was calling to them âhello, hello, helloâ and there was no answer. And at that moment when there wasnât an answer, my heart started to get really tense. Like, you know [when] your stomach just kind of knots up and youâre like, âOK, whatâs going on?â I knew something wasnât quite right.
â[I saw] two guys holding another guy down, in police uniforms, right outside of my bedroom, five feet away so I slid off my bed and picked up my phone and I didnât know how to call 911 in a different country so I called Pascal and then the guy grabbed the phone from me and threw me on the bed and I was like, âThis is it.ââ
She continued: âWhat Iâve heard from talking to [the concierge] afterwards is they said, âWhere is the rapperâs wife? Let us up to her room.â
âAnd I said, while Iâm being tied up, I said, âAre we going to die? Are they going to kill us? And I was just crying and saying, âTell them I have babies. They asked for money and I said I donât have any money.
âThey dragged me out to the hallway on the top of the stairs and thatâs when I saw the gun as clear as day. I was looking at the gun and looking back down at the stairs. I had a split second in my mind to make this quick decision. Like, am I going to run down the stairs and either theyâre gonna shoot me in the back, or if I make it and they donât, if the elevator does not open in time, or the stairs are locked, then like, Iâm f***ed. Thereâs no way out.â
Kim then told her sisters how she feared sheâd be raped and shot when the robbers when she was gagged and tied up.
She said: âAnd then he duct tapes my face and mouth to get me to not yell or anything and then he grabs my legs - and I have no clothes on - and he pulls me towards him at the front of the bed and I thought this is the moment they are going to rape me and I fully mentally prepped myself.
âAnd then he didnât and he duct taped my legs together and then they had the gun up to me and I just knew that was the moment they are totally going to shoot me in the head. I prayed Kourtney is going to have a normal life after she sees my dead body on the bed.
âI have a family, I have kids, my husband, my mum. Iâm not going to make it out of here. I know how these things go. That was my last thought and then they picked me up and put me in the bathroom and then ran. Whatever. Itâs all replaceable. None of it matters.â
15 people were arrested in connection to the robbery back in January.
