Kim Kardashian allegedly had a gun held to her head during a 2018 trip to Uganda with then-husband Kanye West, according to her biographer.

Kim Kardashian allegedly had a gun held to her head during an October 2018 trip to Uganda with then-husband Kanye West, according to biographer Jonathan Van Meter's book 'Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future,' released on Tuesday.

According to the book, Farnaz Farjam, executive producer of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians,' told Van Meter that West became 'paranoid and agitated' while shooting at a remote location in Uganda. Farjam stated that West convinced local police that people were trying to drug him, prompting them to search rooms with guns drawn.

Van Meter writes that during the alleged incident, 'one of the policemen had a gun to Kim's head,' which Farjam described as 'intense.' She said she had to arrange a private jet to evacuate her crew from the location.

Farjam told Van Meter she forgave West 'because he lives with bipolar disorder, and he was in a manic place.' Kardashian, now 46, and West, 49, married in 2014 and finalised their divorce in 2022. They have four children together.
