Kim Kardashian spoke about the harrowing experience where she thought she was going to die as a result of the 2016 robbery in Paris.

Kim Kardashian told a court room that she thought she was going to be raped and killed when she was the victim of a robbery nine years ago.

In 2016, two armed men entered Kardashian's hotel room and tied up the reality TV star, holding her at gunpoint as they ransacked her hotel, before they eventually escaped with an estimated $11 million in jewellery.

Kardashian said that she attempted to ask the hotel receptionist, who had been handcuffed by the two men, to translate to them 'that I have babies, I have to make it home'.

She also noted that one of the robbers involved pulled her toward him, telling her she'd be 'ok', when she was in nothing but a bathrobe, which 'exposes everything on my body'.

Speaking to a French court, she said: “I was certain that was the moment that he was going to rape me. I absolutely did think I was going to die.”

Speaking of the incident, she noted that her hands were bound with zip ties and she was thrown onto a bed.

Kardashian said she attempted to mentally prepare herself for what could happen next by saying a prayer as she was 'sure that's when they were going to shoot me'.

The star continued: “They picked me up off the bed and grabbed me and took me down the hallway to look for more jewellery, more stuff.”

One of the men had the gun to her back at this time, as she continued: “That was the first moment I thought should I run for it? But it wasn't an option so I just stayed - and that's the moment I realized I should just do whatever they say."
