Kardashian West discussed the incident on Sunday night's episode of the E! network's "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

She says two robbers wearing police uniforms entered her hotel room last October. One of the robbers duct-taped her mouth while she was in bed, grabbed her legs and pulled her toward him. She says she wasn't raped, but had a gun held to her head.

Kardashian West says the men picked her up and put her in a bathtub before making off with jewelry.

She said on Twitter Sunday that she "learned some valuable lessons" through the experience.

Ten people have been charged in connection with the case.
