Kim Kardashian Reveals How Wesley Snipes Saved Her Life as a Teen
Kim Kardashian recently shared a dramatic story about how Wesley Snipes helped her when she was a teenager. The reality star opened up during her sister Khloé Kardashian’s podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land, describing an encounter that left a lasting impression on her.
Kim said she was around 17 and visiting New York City with friends. They had been out at a club called Life and later went to a house party. By early morning, she realized she was alone, had no money, and only had an address written on her hand. “I cannot find anyone. Don’t have my money — all I have is this address,” Kim recalled.
At that moment, she ran into Wesley Snipes. She asked him for help, and he agreed to give her a ride home. He even insisted they stop for breakfast first. “I was probably terrified,” she said, but added that Snipes seemed kind and trustworthy. “He wasn’t giving off any creepy vibes.”
Kim said Snipes used the opportunity to lecture her like a parent. “You’re too young to be at parties, if there was a house party there or whatever… You shouldn’t be out at the clubs. You shouldn’t be at these things. I’m going to take you home, and I never want to see you out at these things until you’re old enough,” she remembered him saying.
The encounter left a deep impact on Kim. “He saved my life. He schooled the s*** out of me. Scared me to death about being at club because [after] I’m like, ‘Oh, I’ll never be at a club again,'” she said. Kim noted that she has never seen him since but hopes to one day tell him personally how much he helped her. “Shout out to Wesley Snipes. I hope this message gets to you that you are a lifesaver!”
