Kim Kardashian, 39, was bound and robbed at gunpoint during a highly orchestrated heist that took place in Paris, France in October of 2016.

And she recently opened up about the robbery and how she feared her older sister Kourtney, 41, would return and ‘find [her] dead’ in their room at the Hôtel de Pourtalès during an appearance on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman.

The talk show host, 73, also grilled Kardashian about working with President Donald Trump and his administration on criminal justice reform in 2018.

‘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 traumatized for the rest of her life,’ recalled Kim tearfully.’

She claimed that a gun was pointed directly at her as thoughts regarding the fate of her sister’s safety flooded her brain.

Kim and Kourtney traveled to Paris, France together in October of 2016 to attend Paris Fashion Week.

The KKW Beauty founder noted that Kourtney had ‘packed all [of Kim’s] jewelry’ for the trip, which was something she had ‘never done before.’

Kim explained that on the evening of the robbery Kourtney left their hotel with the sisters’ sole bodyguard, which meant Kim was completely alone in their suite.

Then around three o’clock in the morning, Kardashian remembered hearing ‘stomping up the stairs’ that sounded as if a group of people were inching closer and closer to her room.

Kim told David Letterman, 73, that something about the noise made her instantly feel as though ‘someone was there to get [her],’ so she decided to dial for help.

Then, to the KUWTK star’s horror, a gang of intruders violently made their way into her hotel room and specifically demanded that she fork over a ring husband Kanye West, 43, had purchased for her.

As she continued to recall the terrifying event for Letterman, Kim broke down in tears.

She explained that, at the time of the robbery, she was only wearing a robe and one of the intruders aggressively ‘grabbed her.’

I was like, ‘OK, this is the time I’m gonna get raped. Like deal, this is gonna happen, just prepare yourself,” recalled Kim 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.’

Thankfully, no one was physically harmed during the course of the robbery, but Kim said the entire experience made her ‘really paranoid’ for a year’s time.

She would have ‘half a dozen’ security guards posted up about her Calabasas home at all times.The assailants were, eventually, arrested in January of 2017 and Kim learned that they were watching her every move ‘for two years leading up until this moment.
