Kim Kardashian revealed who was threatening her from prison — and whether the hit out on her life was legitimate.
During the Thursday, November 13, episode of The Kardashians, Kim, 45, discussed the “life-alterating” revelation that her life was in danger.
“Someone from prison was like, ‘This person put a hit out on your life.’ I got a call from an attorney that was hearing from the guys inside that there was a hit out on me. They said that someone extremely close to me — they used to be in my life — had put a hit out on my life,” she revealed.
Kim explained the safety precautions she went through in order to take the threat “seriously.”
“I switch out all my cars, I don’t drive [in certain places] and I don’t go out,’” she explained. “It was time consuming because I had to meet with attorneys and investigators. It was definitely scary. It’s definitely scary to know or to feel that energy out there.”
The reality star ultimately learned that the lead “wasn’t real,” telling producers, “The person just wanted some money and was gonna act like it was happening but they were gonna stop it. It was for me to be indebted to them. Whether it was real or not, it took a toll on me that week. It was a lot but then you have to move on.”
In addition to the revelation about her life potentially being in danger, viewers are also still expecting an update on her health after the season 7 trailer showed Kim was seen lying in an MRI machine before telling sister Kourtney Kardashian that the scan found “a little aneurysm.”
Kim hinted that “stress” was to blame for the aneurysm, which is swelling in a blood vessel in your brain. After causing concern off screen, Kim was asked about her health on Good Morning America, where she explained, “I had to end up going and getting tons of other brain scans at Cedars-Sinai [Medical Center].”
The reality star noted that Hulu viewers would need to “tune in next week” for more details before clarifying that “everything works out” for her. Kim said her Prenuvo was “just a good measure to make sure you always check everything.”
“Health is wealth,” she added. “And you just have to be careful with everything that you do.”
Kim’s health scare came amid her years-long attempt to become an attorney. After previously passing the “baby bar” exam, Kim said she would become a qualified lawyer before the end of the year.

“In California, the way I’m studying law you need to take 2 bar exams, this was just the first one but with the harder pass rate,” she wrote via Instagram in 2021. “I was told by top lawyers that this was a close to impossible journey and harder than the traditional law school route but it was my only option and it feels so so sooooo good to be here and on my way to achieving my goals.”
Kim continued: “I know my dad would be so proud and he would actually be so shocked to know that this is my path now but he would have been my best study partner. I am told he was notorious for making fun of people who didn’t pass on their first attempt like he did, but he would have been my biggest cheerleader!”
