Kim Kardashian Gets Candid About Robbery, O.J. Simpson, & Working With Trump

She’s sat down for plenty of interviews during her career, but Kim Kardashian’s appearance on David Letterman’s My Next Guest Needs No Introduction has the pop culture world buzzing. The reality star mogul spoke with Letterman on his Netflix show and discussed controversial topics including her partnerships with the Trump administration for prison reform, being robbed at gunpoint in Paris, Caitlyn Jenner swearing Kim to secrecy about being transgender, the “embarrassing” sex tape with Ray J, and how the O.J. Simpson trial caused a rift in her family because her father was representing Simpson but her mother was best friends with his murdered wife, Nicole Brown Simpson.

“I remember answering the phone, it was dinner time and we were all sitting down and I answered the phone and it was a call from jail. And it was O.J. and I handed my mom the phone because he wanted to speak to her and I just remember them getting into it,” Kim said. “My mom was extremely vocal on her feelings. She believed that her friend was murdered by him and that was really traumatizing for her. And then we’d go to my dad’s house and it was a whole other situation there… we didn’t really know what to believe or whose side to take as kids because we didn’t want to hurt one of our parents’ feelings.”

Letterman pressed Kim Kardashian about working with Donald Trump, but she remained unmoved. Like she’s stated in the past, Kim is willing to work with any administration as long as reform is the goal. “Trust me, everyone called me and said, ‘Don’t you dare step foot in that White House or your reputation is done,’” she recalled, telling people that in order to get things changed, she needed to meet with the president.

As far as the Paris robbery was concerned, Kim learned that this was a well-organized plot that had been going on for years. “They had been following me for two years leading up until this moment,” she said. “I didn’t know that they had someone at the elevators, someone at the front, someone that moved the camera, someone that broke the door, someone in the getaway car. There was a whole team of people that had planned this.” The thieves even admitted to attempting to robbing her during a previous visit, but her husband Kanye West was with her at that time. You can check out a preview of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction below and tune into the premiere on Wednesday (October 21).

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
