Kim Kardashian is reportedly living under round-the-clock protection after receiving a chilling death threat from someone “extremely close” to her. According to Radar Online, the 44-year-old reality star and business mogul has taken extraordinary measures to ensure her safety following the frightening warning.
A trailer for the upcoming season of The Kardashians revealed that Kim learned of the threat from a private investigator. “I got a call from investigators. Someone extremely close to me put a hit out on my life,” Kim said in the teaser clip.
The footage also shows her sisters, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, reacting with shock and concern as flashing sirens and police activity appear on screen. “I’m terrified out of my mind,” Kim said in a voiceover, later adding, “I’m happy it’s over.”
Following the revelation, sources say Kardashian has significantly heightened her security. “Kim hasn’t taken any chances,” an insider told the outlet. “She’s surrounded by a full security detail 24/7. There are guards at her home, in her car, and even stationed near the kids’ school. She’s still shaken by what happened – she really believes the threat could have been real.”
Another source added that the experience has deeply unsettled her. “This experience has rattled her to the core. Kim’s been through scary situations before, but this one felt personal because it came from someone close. It’s made her question everyone around her.”
The incident has prompted Kardashian to tighten security not just at her Los Angeles mansion but also at her business locations, including her SKIMS and SKKN offices. “She’s living like she’s under Secret Service protection,” the insider said. “Her team screens everyone, even deliveries. She’s not taking any chances, especially after everything she’s survived.”
Kim has faced threats and dangerous situations in the past, most notably the 2016 Paris robbery in which she was held at gunpoint and robbed of millions of dollars in jewelry. Friends say that the experience left her cautious and hyper-aware of her surroundings.
Now, with a potential threat coming from within her circle, Kardashian has reportedly become even more guarded. Those close to her say she’s prioritizing safety above all else as she focuses on protecting her children—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
The new season of The Kardashians is expected to further detail the shocking threat and the emotional aftermath, giving fans a glimpse into how the star is coping with one of the most personal security scares of her life.
