Kim Kardashian found a knight in shining armor in Wesley Snipes decades ago!
"The Kardashians" star recalled the moment the actor literally came through for her as a confused teenager and how she got an earful while he was on the rescue mission.
Kim Kardashian has grown from that situation to now become a mother of four adorable kids, a billionaire, and the CEO of SKIMS.
Kim Kardashian: 'Wesley Snipes Saved My Life'

The reality star got into story time on her sister's podcast, where she shared an account of meeting her real-life superhero, Snipes, whom she claims saved her life, and she never saw him again.
Kim narrated how things went wrong during a house party on her trip to New York in the late 90s, which ended with her being stranded, without cash and only an address her friend had written on her arm.
The actress continued that her very confused self headed out of the apartment with no clue on what to do next, and the next person she saw was Snipes, whom she never hesitated to approach for a ride.
Kim stated on the "Khloé in Wonder Land" podcast that the actor politely agreed to bring her to the address written on her hand after he made her promise that they would grab a quick breakfast.
"Probably he was like, 'Let me feed this person and let's soak her up before she goes home.' You know, when you're young, and you think you look so much older — you probably thought you were like passing for 25, he could tell you're a young kid," the reality star continued.
The Billionaire Says The 'Blade' Actor Schooled Her

As they advanced further into breakfast, Kim stated that Snipes seized the moment to knock some sense into her head and warn her about the dangers of living in the fast lane too early in life.
The TV personality stated that Snipes schooled her like her father and told her she was too young to be attending parties in New York and staying out so late. According to Kim, the actor added, "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."
The TV star confessed that she carried the advice with her everywhere and literally got very scared of ever going to the club again after that conversation. Kim then expresses her desire to meet Snipes again, so she can tell him all about the girl he saved decades ago in New York.
"Shout out to Wesley Snipes, I hope this message gets to you that you are a lifesaver!" Kim screamed as they drew the curtain on the conversation.
Kim Kardashian Wrote A Letter To Her Younger Self In 2022

The 45-year-old penned an emotional letter to her younger self as part of her 2022 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. In the letter, Kim sent candid words to young Kim, who reflected on the advice her late father gave her in the letter titled "high school senior Kim."
"I could obviously give you a road map of your journey from 12th-grade social butterfly to business mogul who's on the cover of the SI Swimsuit Issue and point out all the pitfalls along the way, but that wouldn't do you much good," the reality star began.
She then humorously referred to the incident where she wrecked her first car, tagging it one of her most memorable mistakes.
She recalled how her father's reaction to the case and the promise she made about paying for repairs if she ever got in a fender bender ignited her passion for entrepreneurship straight from high school.
Kim added that her father's advice to always be the best at everything had remained her guiding light through life.
Kim touched on all her achievements so far, including owning her beauty business, launching SKIMS, going for a four-year law apprenticeship to become a lawyer, and engaging in prison reform moves through lobbying.
Kim added that while the public will constantly scrutinize her decisions, she remained committed to achieving them. "When you find it, you're going to do it - we're going to do it - like we always do: to the fullest," Kim concluded in the emotional letter, promising that resting on her laurels is out of the conversation.
The 'All's Fair' Actress Left Soothing Wishes For Her Sisters In A Letter To Her Future Self

Back in 2015, Kim kept a letter for her future self while she got ready for a Glamour Magazine cover shoot. As shared by PEOPLE, she touched on an array of topics in the note, from makeup to body image and even her family.
Kim left a message for her daughter, North, and she would need patience to navigate through pre-teens and junior high school as a 12-year-old. The star welcomed North with her ex, Kanye' Ye' West, in 2013.
For her sisters, beginning with Khloé, Kim wished she found her happily ever faster because she deserved it. For Kourtney, the reality star wished she were done having babies, while her wish for Kendall is to keep her burning passion for modeling.
She urged Kylie to continue living the life she wants, as she is never one to be tamed. Kim continued that her expectations for herself remained that she would not stray too far away from the things she loved doing.
"May science invent a mysterious and delicious green juice to keep you tan forever. If you haven't broken the 100 billion mark on Instagram followers, I'll be very disappointed in you," the mother-of-four concluded.
Kim Kardashian Revealed Her Routine As A Hands-On Mom And A Mogul

The actress, back in 2019, got candid about her routines and how she juggles being a present mom while pushing her shapewear brand. "I go to bed when the kids go to bed. I don't drink, and I don't stay out late at night. So I think that really does help," she revealed.
The screen goddess added that she micromanages her days by waking up at a specific time with a strict schedule in place, as she does not like to operate outside her set periods.
As for Kim's relationship with alcohol, several sources have confirmed that the TV queen mostly goes on without it, except on occasions where she does a shot or a glass of champagne, barely. The same also extends to her sisters, who sources have claimed maintain very controlled images of themselves in the media.
"Kim definitely had her years of partying, especially around the time she was friends with Paris. She also used to go to clubs every night of the week. Her life is completely different now," the insider added.
