-

I was like, `OK, this is the time I'm gonna get raped.'

Kim feared she would get sexually assaulted during her 2016 Paris ordeal

I would make every member of the Senate come to work in their underwear. It would strip them down and make them maybe not quite as arrogant as they are. Actually, if I were president, I'd love to have the power to cause somebody's trousers to drop.

I think it would be a great superpower.”

Kim Kardashia Kardashian couldn't stop worrying abo about how her sister Kourtney w would be “traumatize­d for life” l by finding her dead body in their Paris hotel room as she was robbed in the French capital cap in 2016. The sisters had been staying in the city for fo Fashion Week, w with Kourtney decid deciding to go out club clubbing with a frien friend one evening as Kim K opted to stay in the t hotel room. Kou Kourtney took the siblings' sib security gu guard with her, and at around 3 a.m. Kim heard someone “stomping up the s stairs,” and felt ““immediate p panic” when she rea realized it wasn't her sister s returning home.

Recallin Recalling the terrifying incident on Netflix's My Next G Guest Needs No Introducti­on Introd with David Letterm Letterman, Kim admit admitted that she tried

to call 911 but didn't know what the number was in Paris. After the robbers broke into her room, took her phone and asked for “the ring,” Kim was grabbed by one of them, and thought she was going to be sexually assaulted.

“I was like, `OK, this is the time I'm gonna get raped. Like deal, this is gonna happen, just prepare yourself,' ” Kim said, as she started to cry. “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 zipties and then duct tape and ducttaped my mouth and my eyes.”

Admitting she was most concerned about how Kourtney would cope if she got killed in the robbery, Kim added: “I kept on th thinking about Kourtney, I kept on thinking, like, she's gonna come co home and I'm gonna be dead d in the room and she's gonna go be traumatize­d for the rest re of her life.”

Luckily, Kim emerged from the incident unscathed, and told host Letterman that she remains thankful to this day that it was her targeted in the robbery rather than one of her sisters.

“Besides that little cry session, I'm totally fine,” she said, smiling. “I really am. 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---ed all of your lives up for the rest of your life.' ”

Elsewhere in the interview, which debuts on Netflix on Wednesday, Kim talks about working with U.S. President Donald Trump, discoverin­g her stepfather Caitlyn Jenner was transgende­r and how she makes more money from Instagram than a whole season of her family reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashian­s.
