TikToker Claims Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS Shapewear Saved Her Life After Being Shot

In the TikTok—which was posted in late May—Angelina Wiley, 22, says, “Kim Kardashian saved my life,” before going on to tell the story of how she was shot and how the bodysuit she was wearing was supposedly so tight it prevented her from bleeding out.

Wiley said in a follow-up video that she was wearing the $68 SKIMS seamless sculpt thong bodysuit, which is available on the SKIMS site but is sold out in most sizes.

Wiley was shot four times in Kansas City, Missouri, on New Year’s Eve and suffered a ruptured bladder and cracked pelvis, according to reports from KCTV, a local television station.

Wiley was waiting for food at a food truck when a man standing outside a car stuck in traffic began yelling at the driver and shooting near the car, wounding Wiley and one other person who had life-threatening injuries, an eyewitness told KCTV; an investigation into the shooting is ongoing and no one had been charged in the case, Insider reported.

Dr. Richard Doyle, an emergency medicine physician with Northwestern Medical Group and instructor of emergency medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, told Forbes initial management of gunshot wounds includes control of bleeding, so “direct pressure to the wound or tourniquet proximal to wound is ideal.”

Doyle added he believes it’s “feasible” the bodysuit provided some compression that could have slowed bleeding and allowed more time for Wiley to be transferred to treatment.
