What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad with Clevver News, and Kim Kardashian West dropped
some major bombshells while sitting down with David Letterman, and even broke down in tears
while reliving the terrifying night of her Paris robbery.
It’s no question Kim Kardashian West needs “no introduction,” but it’s not everyday
she opens up about some of the biggest headline-making incidents that have gone on in her life.
While sitting down with David Letterman for his Netflix series, My Next Guest Needs No
Introduction, which officially debuts on October 21st, Kim started off by talking about the
OJ Simpson trial.
Her late father Robert Kardashian was on the defending side.
She recalled the time being “tense” for everyone involved, recalling that she “didn’t
know whose side to take,” and even attending the trial, which didn’t sit well with Kris,
who reportedly gave her and Kourtney a death stare throughout the trial.
She said QUOTE, “Kourtney and I were like, ‘Just look straight, do not look at mom.”
However, this was an incident that Kim added “tore our family apart,” and out of respect
for OJ’s children, she refused to express her feelings about the final verdict to Letterman.
She added, “I just respect his children, so if I were to say something that would hurt
someone’s feelings publicly — unless they’re coming for me and I have to defend myself
or a family member — then I’m aware.”
Kim then described the time she accidentally walked in on Bruce Jenner, before becoming
Caitlyn, dressed head to toe as a woman for the first time.
Although Kendall and Kylie Jenner had previously opened up about seeing him dressed as a woman
before becoming Caitlyn, Kim recalled the time she found him in the garage, wishing
she had walked in on him cheating instead.
She said QUOTE, “When I was 26 years old, my mom was out of town and I was living with
them and walked in the garage, and Bruce was dressed fully as a woman, with a wig and makeup
and heels and clothes.”
Kim added that she ran straight to her room, packed a bag and called Kourtney, saying she
was coming over, to which Kourtney asked if she caught Bruce cheating and Kim responded,
“I wish, I’ll see you soon.”
She went on to say that Bruce quickly called her and said, QUOTE “Whenever you’re ready
I'd love to sit down and talk to you.
But in the meantime, don’t tell a soul.
Your mom has no idea and she will kill me.”
Four years later when Kim turned 30, Caitlyn came over, and she told Kim QUOTE, “‘I
felt these feelings as a kid from 4 years old,’ and only recently was she OK to be
more like herself.”
And in what might be the most terrifying moment of Kim’s life, she went into even more detail
surrounding the infamous Paris robbery that occurred back in 2016.
Oddly enough, Kim recalled packing all her jewelry for that specific fashion week in
Paris, which she said she had “never done before.”
A week prior to the trip, Kim said that her husband Kanye West had gifted her with a brand
new ring that she showed off on social media.
She recalled having lunch with some friends just hours before the robbery, where, coincidentally,
they were talking about what they would do in a robbery-type situation, saying QUOTE,
“We had lunch that day and I said, ‘If you guys were robbed, what would you do?
Would you just give them the stuff?'
Why we had this conversation, it was so wild.
I said, ‘I would say take everything, just take everything, nothing is important.'”
Later that night, Kanye had left to resume his current tour, and Kourtney went out to
a club with a friend, when Kim told her to bring their one security guard since she would
just be staying in the room the rest of the night.
Kim then heard “stomping up the stairs” at 3 a.m. and felt immediate panic, saying,
“I knew someone was there, like, someone was there to get me.
You feel it.”
She then recalled trying to call 911, but wasn’t sure the correct number in France,
when the robbers, who were “dressed as policemen wearing masks” barged in her room and took
her phone away seconds before demanding the ring.
She handed over the ring just before one of the men “grabbed her” as she was wearing
a robe with nothing under it, and began tearing up in front of Letterman, recalling that she
felt she was about to be raped.
Kim said QUOTE, “I was like, ‘OK, this is the time I’m gonna get raped.
Like deal, this is gonna happen, just prepare yourself.’
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.”
As the men pointed a gun toward her, Kim added the only thought going through her mind was
how Kourtney was going to react when she walked in to find her dead.
She said, “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.”
For a year after the robbery, Kim revealed she was “really paranoid” of other people,
and would only be able to fall asleep with a half dozen security guards outside her house.
Even worse, Kim revealed that this wasn’t the first time they attempted to rob her,
and that this had been planned for two years.
She said, “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.”
But aside from recounting the traumatic experience, she told Letterman that she was completely
fine, saying, “I remember calling all my sisters from the car, we were on a conference
call.
I’m like, ‘Guys, thank God that was me.
I’m very mentally strong and that would have f–ked all of your lives up for the
rest of your life.’”
The experience alone was one that Kim will likely never forget, but for even more bombshells

Guest Needs No Introduction, debuting on Netflix this Wednesday.
