TikToker Claims That Kim Kardashian’s Skims Saved Her From Bleeding Out After Being Shot
In a TikTok video shared in late May, Angelina Wiley, a 22-year-old, expressed gratitude to Kim Kardashian for potentially saving her life. She recounted the incident where she was shot and claimed that the tightness of her bodysuit, the $68 SKIMS seamless sculpt thong bodysuit, prevented her from bleeding out. However, the bodysuit is currently sold out in most sizes on the SKIMS website.
Here are some Amazon alternatives.
According to reports from KCTV, a local television station, Wiley was shot four times in Kansas City, Missouri, on New Year’s Eve. The shooting occurred while she was waiting for food at a food truck. An eyewitness revealed that a man outside a car stuck in traffic started yelling at the driver and fired shots near the car, injuring Wiley and another individual who sustained life-threatening injuries. The investigation into the shooting is ongoing, and no charges have been filed in connection with the case, as reported by Insider.
Dr. Richard Doyle, an emergency medicine physician at Northwestern Medical Group and an instructor of emergency medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, explained to Forbes that the initial response to gunshot wounds involves controlling bleeding. Applying direct pressure to the wound or using a tourniquet proximal to the wound is considered the ideal approach.
