In the months following her robbery in Paris, Kim Kardashian has kept a low profile – low for someone who is one of the most famous faces in the world, anyway.
The reality TV star took a break from social media and from the spotlight for a few months, before returning and talking about the ordeal on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Now, the 36-year-old has revealed even more details about the horrific crime, saying she now knows the robbers had been following her for two years.
Talking to Ellen on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Kim says she “doesn’t want to cry anymore,” and that she knows it sounds crazy but the robbery “was meant to happen to me.”
She went on to explain, “I really feel like things happen in your life to teach you things.”
“I was definitely materialistic before, not that there’s anything bad with having things and working hard to get those things. I’m really proud of everyone around me that’s successful.”
“But I’m so happy that my kids get this me, that this is who I am raising my kids. I just don’t care about that stuff anymore.
“Of course when you get engaged you’re going to show off your ring, if you get a car – no matter what it is – you feel really proud and you might show it off on social media.”
“I’m not here to show off the way that I used to. It’s just not who I am anymore.”
Recalling the events in Paris, Kim said, “Automatically, your stomach drops, it’s a feeling you just can’t describe. I said a prayer, I said I know I’m going to heaven, I hope my kids and my husband are OK.”
Breaking down again, she continued, “It does happen really fast, it was a good seven or eight minutes of torture, but when I look back and I analyse it, it could have been worse.”
“They weren’t really aggressive, it could have been way worse so I don’t want to sound like I’m not grateful. I’m out, I’m home, I’m safe. I’m such a better person. Let’s move on.”
