Kim Kardashian Responds to Woman Who Says SKIMS Bodysuit Saved Her Life After Getting Shot

No one walks out of their home expecting to be in the middle of a shootout. However, life has a way of throwing your curveballs when you least expect it.

That said, no one wants to live their life in fear. But, most folks make it a point to take the appropriate safety measures when enjoying a night out on the town — from not hanging with the wrong crowd to avoiding potentially violent situations.

However, one woman may have cracked the code of taking diligent action to the next level. In a viral TikTok post, she shared that a SKIMS bodysuit saved her life when she got shot. Yes, you read that correctly! Here’s the tea — including how Kim responded to the whole situation.

Shout out to Kim Kardashian! In a May 18, 2023, TikTok video, creator Angelina (Nina) Wiley (@honeygxd) shared that she was shot four times and her SKIMS bodysuit saved her life.

“No, but for real, thanks Kim,” the video caption reads, referring of course to SKIMS creator Kim Kardashian.

As the video starts, Nina tells her story.

“Kim Kardashian saved my life,” Nina said. “New Year's 2023, I got shot four times. The night I got shot, under my dress, I was wearing a SKIMS shaping bodysuit.”

Nina continued: “It was so tight on me that it literally kept me from bleeding out. I recommend it. I’m definitely going to buy some more.”

As the video continued, Nina cracked a joke about wearing the bodysuit every day and it being “body armor for women.”

“Call it fate or Jesus, but I’m going to call it Kim,” Nina said. “I’m going to call it Kim for sure.”

TikTok users flooded Nina’s comment section to not only share their sympathies about her being shot but to also share how much they plan to invest in pieces from SKIMS.

“This is genuinely the first thing about shapewear I’ve ever heard that makes me want it,” one person shared.

“That’s actually incredible - glad to see you’re okay❤️,” another user said.

“We love Kim for that but also that’s so scary I’m glad you’re still here 💕,” one person chimed in.

On the flip side, other folks in the comment section have requested a story time to learn about how Nina ended up getting shot four times. And of course, the creator obliged.

In a three-part video series, Nina detailed that she went out with friends to a club in Kansas City, Mo. While waiting for an Uber to arrive, Nina and her friends decide to get food at a food truck located across the street from the club.

As Nina and another girl crossed the street to go back to the food truck to check on their food, they heard a group of people fighting.

"I heard this guy yell, 'We can start some s--- now if you want to. It can go down,'" Nina recalled. "A guy in a ski mask comes up with a switch and starts shooting."

Nina continued: “I got shot pretty much immediately, but I didn’t know I got shot yet, which was the crazy thing.”

Nina said that the girl she was with grabbed her hand and they started to run, although she “felt vibrations through her body.” And once they ran behind the food truck, she collapsed.

The girl told her that she needed to get up, but every time she tried to get up she couldn’t. That’s when she realized she could have possibly been shot.

Nina shared in Part 2 that she thought she was going to die and had a panic attack because she couldn’t get up. The cops came up to her and asked if she got shot, but told them that she wasn't sure.

Once she put her hands behind her back, Nina said “it felt wet” and instantly she knew.

“I bring my hand around and I just see blood,” Nina said.

Interestingly, the cop couldn’t find the wound and guessed that Nina possibly started her period. However, he eventually saw the wound and began applying pressure.

Sadly, Nina explained that the paramedic couldn't get to her due to so many people being on the road.

“They had to roll down a gurney and roll me up the road,” Nina said. “Even when I got there, the ambulance couldn’t leave. We were stuck there because people would not move out of the way.”

Once Nina arrived at the hospital, she learned she was shot four times in her back, left side, right side, and leg.

In Part 3, Nina shared that she still has a bullet in her stomach, but the other bullets were taken out. She said she feels the bullet sometimes since it pops out.

“What happened wasn’t OK. I’ll be traumatized for the rest of my life,” Nina shared.

Although Nina endured the unthinkable, we are so happy that she is alive.

On Oct. 3, 2023, Nina appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show to tell her story. While there, she got a surprise from Kim herself via a prerecorded video message.

"Hi Nina," Kim can be seen saying in the video. "I wish I was there in person but I wanted to send you a quick hello, and hi Jennifer."

Kim went on to address Nina: "I loved hearing your story and I'm just thinking of you as you continue to recover. I also hear that you're pursuing a degree in criminal justice and I wanted to say congratulations. Study hard — its not easy. i look forward to seeing everything that you're doing with this. And I sent over some SKIMS products for you. I just want you to have fun today and I'm wishing you guys all the best."

Nina was brought to tears while watching Kim's video message. "Just knowing that she knows my name is insane to me, like I'm a real person to her," Nina explained afterward to Jennifer after her SKIMS haul was brought out on stage. "And to see that she went out of her way for all this ... it's nice to see that something so beautiful can come out of something so awful

"You're the beautiful thing that came out of this," Jennifer said. "We still have you."
