Kim Kardashian defended her decision to air the Paris robbery episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

A little over five months after Kim was bound, gagged, locked in a hotel bathroom and robbed of between $6 million and $11 million worth of jewelry, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" finally aired the much anticipated episode featuring the attack last night -- just one week after the show's season 13 premiere.

You can watch a small clip from the show here:

Before the episode premiered, Kim primed audiences by sending a series of tweets explaining what she was emotionally dealing with on the heels of the event.

She also included a small explanation on why she allowed E! to run the episode at all.

She put a similar post up on Instagram.

She captioned the photo with,

Tonight's episode is going to be very tough for me. However, I thought it was important to share this story through my eyes & not in an interview where my own words could be twisted. I have always shared so much & I'm not going to hold back when this was probably one of the most life changing experiences for me. I would never wish this experience upon anyone, but have learned some valuable lessons & feel so blessed to be safe home with my babies & husband. To my friends, family, and loved ones I can't thank you enough for being there when I needed you the most. To the French police, thank you for your incredible hard work. *This was our last family photo taken in Paris

We wish Kim and the Kardashian family the best.
