Well Kim has now given her first interview about the ordeal breaking down in tears as she revealed she believes the incident happened for a reason The Ellen Show Speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres show, Kim said:I know it sounds crazy, but I know that was meant to happen to me. I don't want to start crying, but I know it was meant to happen. I really feel like things happen in your life to teach you things, and I feel like I'm such a different person. She explained that the robbery had taught her to be less materialistic and that she s grateful for her children s sake The Ellen Show instagram.com Kim said:I was definitely materialistic before. Not that there's anything bad with having things and working to get those things – I'm really proud of everyone around me that's successful. And of course when you get engaged you're going to show off your ring, if you get a car, you feel really proud and you might show it off on social media. But I'm not here to show off the way I used to. It's just not who I am anymore. I'm so happy that my kids get this me, that this is who I am raising my kids. I just don't care about that stuff anymore. I really don't. Kim went on to say that the robbers had been following her for two years and that her attitude towards security has changed hugely as a result The Ellen Show She explained:Meeting with my attorneys and knowing the information that I know now, [the robbers] had been following me for two years. They had heard interviews that I did, getting excited about this jewellery, that jewellery. I truly don't know if I'd ever feel comfortable wearing jewellery any more – or wearing real jewellery again. My whole life has changed in terms of how I travel and my security. I never thought I would need security staying outside of my door. Now I have several just for me to be able to sleep at night. Kim then revealed how she felt during the robbery – and her desire to move on from the ordeal View this photo on Instagram instagram.com She said:Automatically, your stomach drops. It's a feeling you just can't describe. I thought, this is it for me. I 100% thought I was going to die. I said a prayer, I said I know I'm going to heaven, I hope my kids and my husband are OK. It does happen really fast. It was a good 7 or 8 minutes of torture, but when I look back and analyse it, it could have been worse. They weren't really aggressive, it could have been way worse so I don't want to sound like I'm not grateful. I'm out, I'm home, I'm safe. I'm a much better person. Let's move on.
