Sheryl Underwood listened to Kim Kardashian retell the story of her robbery in Paris and it reminded her of a time when she was in a similar situation and she thought she was also going to lose her life.

For Underwood, the moment occurred as she was being raped.

Underwood shared the emotional and potentially life-threatening experience on “The Talk.”

“I looked at the footage with Kim and in her retelling the story, she looks traumatized. But for her to go through that process and try to think her way through it, I remember having a ‘this is it‘ moment when I was raped. I just kept thinking, This ain’t it. I am not going to die today. I refuse to die today. It’s not going down like this. So the only thing I thought was: What do I do to survive? What do I do to survive? And I start talking to the guy and I said, ‘Don’t do this this way. Whatever you’re going to do, finish what you’re doing — don’t kill me. And don’t take my ID. They’ll find you.”

Lastly, Sheryl wanted to leave women with a lesson from her story.

“I really want women to understand: Don’t ever let anybody take your power away from you.”
