Kim Kardashian Has Spent Years Saying That Calmness Is Her “Superpower,” And Here’s Why It All Comes Back To Her 2016 Robbery

During a 2020 interview with David Letterman, Kim said she was tied up and bound with zip ties, duct tape, and handcuffs. She also said the robbers — who’d reportedly been planning the attack for two years — used duct tape to cover her eyes and mouth.

After the robbers threw her into a bathtub, Kim said she mentally prepared herself for the fact that she might die and that her sister, Kourtney Kardashian Barker — who was staying in the same hotel suite as her but was out at the time of the attack — would later discover her body.

“I just kept thinking about Kourtney,” she remembered. “I kept on thinking, 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 if she sees me.”
