 Kardashian, 36, told her family and the world in her own
words on Sunday's episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians"
on the E! cable channel about how she feared being raped and
killed in the October 2016 robbery where thieves tied her up in
a luxury hotel apartment and stole some $10 million worth of
jewelry.
"I thought it was important to share this story through my eyes
& not in an interview where my own words could be twisted," the
reality star told her 95 million Instagram followers.
"I took a tragic horrific experience and did not let it diminish
me, rather grew and evolved and allowed the experience to teach
me. I can say I've become so much better because of it," she
added, without elaborating.
Kardashian called off all public engagements for three months
after the robbery, increased security and abandoned her prolific
social media postings.
Kardashian described how one of the intruders put duct tape on
her mouth. "And then, he grabs my legs and I wasn't, you know, I
had no clothes on under. He pulled me toward him at the front of
the bed and I thought, 'OK, this is the moment they're going to
rape me,'" she said. "I fully mentally prepped myself—and then
he didn't."

The man then held a gun up to her head. "I just knew that was the
moment. They're just totally going to shoot me in the head. I just
prayed that Kourtney's going to have a normal life after she sees my
dead body on the bed."
Kardashian's emotional reunion in New York with her two children and
her husband, rapper Kanye West, was filmed for the TV show and
broadcast on Sunday.
It showed West saying, "If anything had really happened to you, I
wouldn’t have stopped until they were dead."
Paris police have put 10 people under formal investigation for
involvement in the robbery but no one has been charged.
Since pulling back from the public, she has made a gradual comeback,
appearing at some public events and even filming a small cameo in
January for the upcoming female caper movie "Ocean's Eight" about a
jewel heist in New York.
