Kim Kardashian West is "still vulnerable" after her Paris robbery

One source said: "Kim has come a long way from the robbery but that said, it's a daily struggle to move past it and she probably never will be past it entirely."

Whilst another added to People magazine: "Kim still speaks of the robbery as the most horrific experience she has ever had. [She] is still vulnerable and cries about the robbery."

The brunette beauty took to Twitter shortly before the episode aired on Sunday (19.03.17) to say that whilst her ordeal was "very tough", she also believes it was a "life changing experience" that she won't shy away from.

She wrote: "Tonight's episode is going to be very tough for me.

"However, I thought it was important to share this story through my eyes & not in an interview where my own words could be twisted

"I have always shared so much & I'm not going to hold back when this was probably one of the most life changing experiences for me.

"I would never wish this experience upon anyone, but have learned some valuable lessons &feel so blessed to be safe home w my babies & husband

"To my friends, family, and loved ones I can't thank you enough for being there when I needed you the most.

"To the French police, thank you for your incredible hard work (sic)."

In the episode, Kim - who shares North, three, and Saint, 14 months, with husband Kanye West - said she believed there was "no way out" as her attackers were likely to shoot her if she tried to run.

She said: "They ask for money. I said 'I don't have any money.'

"They dragged me out to the hallway, on top of the stairs. That's when I saw the gun like, clear as day. I was kind of looking at the gun, looking down back at the stairs...

"I had a split second in my mind to make this quick decision.

"Am I gonna run down the stairs... Either they're gonna 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***ed. There's no way out."
