Multiple outlets report that biographer Jonathan Van Meter alleges Kim Kardashian was held at gunpoint during an October 2018 trip to Uganda while she was married to Kanye West. The claim is described as an incident in which Kardashian allegedly had a “gun to her head,” and it is linked in the reporting to West, who outlets say “sparked” the situation.
The coverage is based on Van Meter’s book, “Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future.” While the stories share the same central allegation, they differ mainly in phrasing and emphasis—some describe the moment as a frightening incident, while others frame it as a “raid” in Uganda. The outlets’ descriptions present the claim as coming from the biographer rather than as independently verified in the reports.
