Kim Kardashian is delving into her mental health journey and seeking answers on how the 2016 Paris robbery. It has shaped her emotional responses today. On the July 18 episode of ‘The Kardashians‘, Kim opened up to her sister Khloé Kardashian about her experiences in therapy and the impact of past trauma on her mental state.
Khloé suggested that the infamous Paris robbery may be the reason behind Kim’s newfound calmness. Reflecting on how Kim has changed, Khloé said, “You weren’t calm before. Kim, you were a lunatic,” she recalled. “You became calm.”
The Trauma Of The 2016 Paris Robbery Changed Kim Kardashian
Khloé went on to describe how Kim’s demeanor was vastly different before the robbery. “You were never calm as a teenager, in your 20s. You cried about everything. You were bratty. You threw tantrums. Everything stopped after you got robbed because you stayed calm in that situation, and you even said, ‘My calmness is what kept me alive.’ That’s when it started. It doesn’t take a f—ing detective to figure that one out,” she added.
During a private conversation with cameras, Kim reflected on the night of the robbery, recounting the terror she faced when masked men broke into her hotel room. “I mean, imagine you’re like, gun to your head, getting tied up, dragged across a hotel room, and the guy, I remember him telling me, ‘Just like, stay calm and you’ll live.’ And I did that,” she recalled.
Kim noted that staying calm likely saved her life during the terrifying ordeal. However, she also questioned whether her calmness had gone too far, leading her to become emotionally detached. “I think I’ve let it get too calm to where people could take advantage of my calmness or I’m just turning into a full robot with like, no emotion,” she pondered.

During Paris Fashion Week, on October 3, 2016, Kim was robbed at gunpoint at the No Address Hotel. Masked men stole millions of dollars worth of jewelry, including a $4 million ring. Kim first opened up about the ordeal in a 2017 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, describing the harrowing experience to her sisters.
“They ask for money. I said I don’t have any money,” she recounted. “They dragged me out onto the hallway on top of the stairs. That’s when I saw the gun clear, like clear as day. I was kind of looking at the gun, looking down back at the stairs.”
She described the split-second decision she had to make: “Am I going to run down the stairs and either be shot in the back? It makes me so upset to think about it. Either they’re going to shoot me in the back, or if I make it and they don’t, if the elevator does not open in time, or the stairs are locked, then, like, I’m f—–. There’s no way out.“
