During an appearance on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman, Kim Kardashian Relives that fateful day, 3rd October 2016, when she experienced a horrible ordeal as she was robbed at gunpoint, whilst being tied up with zip ties and had her mouth and eyes duck taped.
Prior to the robbery, Kim and her older sister Kourtney had been at a fashion show where their sister Kendall was walking in and the three returned to the hotel but Kourtney and Kendall decided to head out for the night as Kim stayed back at the hotel alone as her security escorted both sisters on their night out.
The robbers stole jewelry worth a total amount of $14 million including a huge 20 karat diamond ring gift from Kanye. Later it was discovered the whole robbery was well thought out and had been planned for 2 years prior to the day of robbery as they had inside persons all around the hotel.
Kim shared tearfully saying: “I kept on thinking about Kourtney, I kept on thinking, like, she’s gonna come home and I’m gonna be dead in the room and she’s gonna be traumatised for the rest of her life,”
“I was like, ‘OK, this is the time I’m gonna get raped. Like deal, this is gonna happen, just prepare yourself,'” Kim recalled to Letterman.
“So, I did and then – I don’t know why I’m crying, I’ve talked about this before – and then he tied me up with handcuffs and zip-ties and then duct tape and duct-taped my mouth and my eyes.”
She concluded by saying: “I didn’t know that they had someone at the elevators, someone at the front, someone that moved the camera, someone that broke the door, someone in the getaway car.”
“There was a whole team of people that had planned this,”

Such a terrible experience. We are thankful no one was physically hurt during this ordeal.
