Kim Kardashian Robbery Trial: Thief Says He “Regrets” His Role in Heist

Upon forcing themselves in, the 44-year-old alleged that the robbers tied her up with plastic cables, taped her mouth shut and carried her to the bathtub before stealing over $10 million worth of jewelry, electronics and other expensive pieces.

And even after the terrifying incident, Kim was plagued with the lasting anguish the traumatic heist had caused.   

“For a good year, I almost lost myself,” the SKIMS founder said on a 2017 episode of The Alec Baldwin Show. “I was never depressed, but I wasn’t motivated to get up and work like I used to. It shook me.”

But despite remembering exactly how it felt to fear for her life in that moment, she expressed that she was “grateful” for the realizations that stemmed from the life-changing incident.

“Even though it was horrific and I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone, it really did deeply change me to where now I feel like I can get back to myself,” Kim explained. “There was a lot of me that measured who I was by how much I had. I thought, ‘Oh, I’m worth so much.’ That needed to change in me.”
