<p id=”par-5_59″>During a 2020 appearance on <em>My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman</em>, Kardashian got emotional revisiting her memories of the Paris robbery. Recalling how she’d “packed all” of her jewelry for the trip to Paris Fashion Week, the Skims founder shared that she’d had a conversation about being robbed just hours earlier while having lunch with friends. </p>
<p id=”par-6_47″>“We had lunch that day and said, ‘If you guys were robbed, what would you do? Would you just give them the stuff?’” Kardashian said. “Why we had this conversation, it was so wild. I said, ‘I would say take everything, just take everything, nothing is important.’” </p>
<p id=”par-7_43″>With her sister, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/kourtney-kardashian/”>Kourtney Kardashian</a>, out a club with a friend—and their one security guard—Kardashian remained at the hotel. Then she heard “stomping up the stairs,” thinking her sister had returned. “Immediate panic” washed over her when she realized it was a stranger. </p>
<p id=”par-8_36″>The now-44-year-old continued, recalling how the robbers dressed as “policemen in masks.” They came into her room, took her phone, and demanded “the ring.” (The diamond sparkler she’d posted to social media just days earlier.) </p>
<p id=”par-9_41″>Kardashian began crying as she explained to Letterman that as they “grabbed” her, she thought she’d be assaulted. “I was like, ‘OK, this is the time I’m gonna get raped. Like deal, this is gonna happen, just prepare yourself,’” she said. </p>
<p id=”par-10_35″>“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.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_22″>Through it all, she “kept on thinking about Kourtney.” Specifically, the trauma her sister would endure if she found her dead. </p>
