Khloé Kardashian suggests Paris robbery altered Kim's behavior
Khloé Kardashian, Kim's sister, suggested that the Paris robbery might be the root cause of her altered behavior. She noted a change in Kim's reactions post-incident, recalling how she used to be more reactive before the robbery. "You were never calm as a teenager, in your 20s. Kim, you were a lunatic." "Everything stopped after you got robbed because you stayed calm in that situation and you even said, 'My calmness is what kept me alive.'"
Kim expressed concern over excessive calmness
Reflecting on the robbery, Kim acknowledged that her ability to remain calm during the ordeal likely saved her life. However, she expressed concern that this calmness may have gone too far. "But 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 said.
