<h3 style="text-align: center;">Missouri Woman Goes Viral After Crediting SKIMS Bodysuit With Saving Her Life</h3>
<p><strong>Angelina Wiley</strong> revealed she was shot four times while waiting for a Lyft in Kansas City this past New Year’s Eve.</p>
<p>She reportedly suffered a ruptured bladder repaired in surgery and a cracked pelvis (meaning she needs to learn to walk with a walker for some time.</p>
<p>A bullet remains lodged in her abdomen, according to a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/tvtrm3-ninas-road-to-recovery?" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>GoFundMe</strong></a> created for Wiley.</p>
<p>However, she claims her injuries would have been far worse had she not worn Kardashian&#8217;s skin-tight shapewear product.</p>
<p>Wiley shared the harrowing tale with her nearly 15,000 <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@honeygxd/video/7234610033911172398" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>TikTok</strong></a> followers in May. Today, her TikTok video recounting the event has over 1.5 million views as of this article&#8217;s publication.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Kim Kardashian saved my life. (The body suit) was so tight on me that it literally kept me from bleeding out,&#8221; she said in <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@honeygxd/video/7255945960457555246" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one</a> of several TikTok videos. &#8220;I should recommend it. I feel bad saying it because it sounds obnoxious, but without (the SKIMS suit), (the bullet) would have hit different&#8230;</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>&#8220;Call it fate or Jesus, but Imma call it Kim,&#8221; Wiley said. &#8220;No, but fr (for real), thanks, Kim.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Kim Reposts Viral Video Claiming Her SKIMS Product Stopped A Shooting Victim From Death</h3>
<p>Meanwhile, Kim herself eventually happened to notice the 22-year-old&#8217;s viral posts.</p>
<p>The &#8216;Kardashians&#8217; star reposted Wiley&#8217;s video on her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kimkardashian/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Instagram Story</strong></a> this past weekend, adding &#8220;wowww&#8221; alongside a prayer hand emoji.</p>
<p>Several of Wiley&#8217;s followers have advocated for Kardashian to make her a model for the SKIMS brand or at least to send her new products.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Okay but you should instantly be a skims sponsor <a class="e1g2efjf11 css-v7hd8w-StyledLink-StyledUserLinkContent er1vbsz0" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@MS4wLjABAAAAMe5oovmTxsAE9a4nA3cGv2QXfvAPoPYw1Pnvg9nHtgSIqYLU2zcf4LmWWPGRRcn0">@SKIMS</a>,&#8221; one commenter opined under <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@honeygxd/video/7234610033911172398" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one of Wiley&#8217;s TikTok videos</a>. “Send her a new one for free pls, this girl can’t be walking around w a bullet hole in her skims,” another wrote.</p></blockquote>
<p>However, Wiley says she has no SKIM products after investigators confiscated them due to an ongoing criminal investigation.</p>
<blockquote><p>“The detectives have my skims bc it’s a part of the investigation, so I have 0 skims now <img class="emoji" role="img" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/svg/1f62d.svg" alt="ð" /><img class="emoji" role="img" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/svg/1f62d.svg" alt="ð" /><img class="emoji" role="img" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/svg/1f62d.svg" alt="ð" />,” Wiley noted.</p></blockquote>
<p>Despite this, Wiley maintains that she is “definitely gonna buy some more” SKIMS bodysuits. She even added that she “should wear it every day.”</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Friends Create GoFundMe For Wiley Following Shooting Earlier This Year</h3>
<p>Meanwhile, friends are currently attempting to raise money for her through <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/tvtrm3-ninas-road-to-recovery?" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GoFundMe</a>. The funds will help cover medical expenses, the fundraiser says.</p>
<p>The GoFundMe has raised $4,088 out of a $6,500 goal as of Tuesday (Jul. 18).</p>
<p>Additionally, Wiley has since taken to the platform to update supporters on her recovery.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Im continuing physical therapy and working on my mental health with doctors. I’ve gone through ups and downs as I hopped, scooted, and rolled around everywhere when I couldn’t walk. I continue to have a lot of struggles with my hip ever since the fracture as well as many other pains. The bullet still in me causes random pains, and honestly I struggle with severe PTSD ever since the shooting&#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Furthermore, Wiley even took the time to thank those who&#8217;ve donated to the campaign, as injuries from the New Year&#8217;s shooting have kept her out of work since then.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It has made returning to work full-time difficult. This past year has been so hard for me and has definitely put me in a rough spot financially&#8230; Thank you for everyone who’s been there for me during this tragedy in my life.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Full-body SKIMS shapewear starts at about $58 and ranges in price to about $68 USD, according to <a href="https://www.lyst.com/shop/skims-bodysuits/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Lyst</strong></a>.</p>
