There is no doubt that Kim Kardashian loves to be in front of the camera—she's spent nearly half her life on TV, remember? But ever since she married Kanye, the reality star has retreated from the spotlight. At least, according to her. Kim chatted with Alec Baldwin on a soon-t0-be-aired episode of his new talk show about her life before and after Kanye, which apparently was a lot different than any of us realized. Before getting hitched, Kim said she was always running the town. Marriage changed her, Kim explains: We would get our hair and makeup done after we filmed the show. Then it was like: 'I was like what is the hottest restaurant in Hollywood? Where can I go? Where can I be seen? Who is there? What are they doing? Who is there?' Everything had to be public for me back then. This content is imported from Instagram.

Even though Kanye isn't camera-shy and loves to publicly share his views (no matter how controversial they may be! ), he apparently prefers to lead a pretty private life, which has inspired Kim to change her outlook. "Now it's, 'where can I go on vacation where nobody will see us?'" she explained to Baldwin. "All I want is privacy. I never thought that I would be at that point."

Alec recapped the interview with The Hollywood Reporter and mentioned that Kim also shed some light on Kanye's pro-Tump political leanings. He recalled her saying, "I don't necessarily have to believe all my husband's opinions to support him. He's entitled to what he [believes and] he's very passionate." Alec said he responded with a telling "Uh-huh." Kim's interview will air on October 21. Hey, as long as Kim and Kanye are happy with each other despite their political differences, that's all that really matters...right?

"My life has definitely changed a lot in the last two years from that experience and just wanting more privacy," Kardashian West told the man who portrayed Trump opposite Chris Redd's Kanye West in a "Saturday Night Live" skit last week. "In the last three months, I feel like I've come out of my shell a little bit more, back to who I was," the reality star shared. "I felt, like for a good year, I almost lost myself." In October 2016, when Kardashian West was in Paris for Fashion Week, gun-toting men dressed as police officers, wearing masks, forced their way inside of where she was staying, tied her up, gagged her and threatened her while demanding her jewelry. The thieves escaped with a jewelry box containing more than $10 million in bling, including a $4.5 million 20-carat diamond ring she had just received from West. Kardashian West, 38, said while she wasn't "depressed," she lacked motivation "to get up and work like I used to." "It shook me," she informed her host. Kardashian West shared she felt somewhat responsible to a certain degree. "I'm totally a realist. So I know, you post on social media your locations, your jewelry, your bags, what you're doing, where you're going, your cars, your stuff," she said. "I would always talk about my stuff." "There was a lot of me that measured who I was by how much I had," she said. "I thought, 'Oh, I'm worth so much.' So that changed in me. And, that needed to change in me, so I'm grateful for the experience. "Even though it was horrific, and I wouldn't wish it upon anyone," the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star continued, "it really did deeply change me to where now I feel like I can get back to myself, I can put on makeup and heal." Speaking to the depths of her slump, she said: "I was literally – my mom (Kris Jenner) had to come over and say, 'Will you get out of bed? Will you put on something else other than sweats? Put on a little bit of makeup, feel like yourself again.' " Kardashian West said the experience made her quite afraid. "I was so scared for anyone to know where I was," she said. "Like, if I went to a restaurant, I thought, 'OK they're gonna to post a photo of me online, know that I'm at this restaurant, know that my home's open and that they can go and maybe rob my home or rob this or know I'm here.' "I always had that thought in my mind of just danger," she added. "I never thought about anything scary before, until then. I felt like I was living in a bubble, and that opened me up to so much." Her new reality is much more guarded today. "Now my life is six security (guards) outside of our house at all times, and a few security when I travel, always 24/7 outside my door," she said. "I just move totally differently now." Kardashian West's younger half-sister, model Kendall Jenner, recently blamed gossip site TMZ for sharing the location of her house, helping a stalker find his way there. "I understand what I’ve signed up for but when you release the exact location to where I live, THAT is when you're putting my life in danger," she tweeted.

We spoke on the phone yesterday, and we’ve spoke about this a few times. Alice always says, ‘If it wasn’t for Kanye speaking up in support of Trump,’ then she would still be in jail.” Earlier this year, Kardashian met with Trump at the White House and persuaded the President to pardon Johnson, who was sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole for playing a small part in one drug deal. “She was the phone mule,” Kardashian told Baldwin. “She didn’t know who; she didn’t know how much, what kind of drugs. She didn’t know anything. She had to say one sentence — some weird sentence — and that was it.” Kim said she began to take an interest in prison reform about two years ago, after being robbed in Paris, and that Johnson’s case was just the beginning for her. “I think I just want to continue doing what I’m doing,” Kardashian said. “I feel like I have a voice. They’re listening. We’re making … positive things happen. I’m very focused,” she told Baldwin, who asked what her next move is. Kardashian responded, “The bigger goal is to get these bills passed that really change the laws to … make the distinction between, you know, crack and cocaine … and just start getting people out.” Kardashian said she is putting up her own money to fund cases she’s passionate about and that she reads letters and stories from prisoners regularly. Obviously, though, she doesn’t take on just any case. “I felt like Alice Johnson found me. You know? Like, I connected with her, so I really do have to connect,” she said. While Kardashian has become an advocate for criminal justice reform, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star maintains that, unlike her husband, she knows where to draw the line. “I wasn’t really into politics as much until, I think, more recently. And even so, I’m not so into politics. I’ll find something that I believe in, and I figured out how to use my voice in that area, but as far as when it does come to my business, to me, it’s all very separate.” Story continues The Alec Baldwin Show airs Sundays at 10 p.m. on ABC.

Kardashian West made headlines in June when she met with the president to free Alice Johnson, a 63-year-old woman sentenced to life in prison for cocaine trafficking, despite it being her first offense. She was asked by Alec Baldwin in the first episode of "The Alec Baldwin Show" if she thought Johnson "would still be in prison if (her) husband wasn't a Trump supporter." "I do believe she would still be in prison," she said. "We've (spoken) about this a few times. Alice always says if it wasn't for Kanye speaking up in support of Trump, then she would still be in jail." During Baldwin's hour-long interview talk show, Kardashian West also dished on how her four-year marriage to the rapper stays solid, even with their political differences. "I let him be who he wants to be," Kardashian West said. "I let him have his own views and opinions, even if they're different than mine. I grew up in a household where ... we would always just talk about it and be open about it and it was really OK to have different views. For me, I think it's just about having an open mind." "We definitely have conversations if I don't understand something, in private," she continued. "And it goes the same with him and me." Baldwin speculated: "It seems to me that it's not a question of you being the opposite of him. He's more public in a partisan sense and you're not. A lot of the biggest stars and the greatest stars run their offense, so to speak, by muting all that. They're issue-oriented with causes they support, most of them very uncontroversial. That seems to be the choice you've made." Kardashian West noted that she hasn't always been interested in politics – and even now, she wouldn't consider herself a political junkie. "I'll find something that I believe in, and I've figured out how to use my voice," she said. The reality star has a team of attorneys who help her break down cases similar to Johnson's, and she's funding the cases herself. Her current case: a man sentenced to life for possessing marijuana and half a gram of cocaine. "The bigger goal is to get these bills passed that really change the laws to make the distinction between crack and cocaine completely separate, and just getting people out (of jail)" she said. "Sentencing reform, bail reform – there's so much."<doc-sep>
West, who was in Paris for Fashion Week in Oct. 2016, was tied up and gagged by some gun-toting men dressed as cops who stole jewels, including a 20-carat, $4.5 million ring that was a gift from West. Though the heist didn't necessarily make Kardashian West depressed, she said she definitely lacked the motivation to work like she did before after the scary incident. "It shook me," she told Baldwin. "I'm totally a realist. So I know, you post on social media your locations, your jewelry, your bags, what you're doing, where you're going, your cars, your stuff. I would always talk about my stuff." In addition to describing how being married to Kanye has made her approach fame differently, Kardashian opened up about how the armed robbery of a reported $10 million in cash and jewels transformed the way she approaches being a public figure. "My life has definitely changed a lot in the last two years from that experience and just wanting more privacy," Kardashian, 38, said. "In the last three months, I feel like I've come out of my shell a little bit more, back to who I was. I felt, like for a good year, I almost lost myself." Which is why, she told Baldwin, she let's Ye be "who he wants to be...I let him have his own views and opinions even if they’re different than mine...I love letting my husband be who he is. [We] definitely have conversations if I don't understand something in private and talk about that." Realizing that she was measuring herself by her things, Kardashian said the robbery changed her, which she is grateful for. "Even though it was horrific, and I wouldn't wish it upon anyone," she said. "It really did deeply change me to where now I feel like I can get back to myself, I can put on makeup and heal." At one point, mother Kris Jenner had to convince Kardashian to get out of bed, take off her sweats and put on some makeup so she could feel like her old self again. But the fear that gripped her slowly turned into a paranoia, leading the reality star who has made her private life a public affair for years to worry about being photographed at restaurants for fear that someone noticing she was out might rob her home while she was out. "I always had that thought in my mind of just danger," she said. "I never thought about anything scary before, until then. I felt like I was living in a bubble, and that opened me up to so much." The difference these days is that there are six security guards outside of the Kardashian-West home at all times now, as well as security by her side 24/7 when she travels. Kardashian also talked about Caitlyn Jenner's transition and when, at 25, she walked in on her stepdad dressed as a woman in the garage at Kris Jenner's home, "and I ran in and packed a back so fast, shaking, and ran out and called Kourtney," saying she as totally blindsided by situation, after which Caitlyn promised she would "sit down and [I'll] explain this all to you." She also credited Kanye's vehement support of Pres. Trump with helping her to obtain a pardon for first-time nonviolent drug offender Alice Johnson. "Alice always says if it wasn't for Kanye speaking up in support of Trump then she would still be in jail," she said.
