Kim Kardashian was left feeling 'so emotional' after her estranged husband Kanye West managed to retrieve the unreleased footage from her sex tape.
In this week's episode of The Kardashians, Kim received the best update possible regarding the threatened release of unseen footage from the sex tape she filmed with her ex-boyfriend Ray-J in 2002.
The 41-year-old was catapulted into the spotlight after an adult entertainment company reportedly paid $1 million (£796,980.00) for the tape in 2007.

In the first episode of the Kardashian-Jenners' new reality series, Kim was mortified when her six-year-old son Saint West almost discovered his mum's tape whilst playing a game of Roblox on his tablet.
The Bound 2 rapper is no stranger to grand gestures and after confirming he flew across the country to retrieve the computer and hard drive on which the tape was saved and to meet with Ray-J, he told Kim and her family the good news.
He informed Kim’s mum, Kris Jenner, prior to Kim announcing the news, that he had: “Just come from the airport. This is my travel in coach vibes. Well, I had to go to L.A. and come back so I just travelled to get something for Kim.”

Kris asked: “You went all the way to L.A. to get something for Kim?”
After pushing Kanye to reveal what he got for Kim, the Yeezy founder teased: “Well, that’s what she wants to show you”.
Kim was in New York to film Saturday Night Live, as she confides in her mum Kris Jenner and sister Khloé Kardashian in a hotel room.
The mum-of-four tells her family and close friends that she no longer has to be concerned about the “unreleased footage," thanks to Kanye.

“So Kanye flew home last night and he came back this morning, and I want to show you what he got me. He got me all of the sex tape back,” Kim announced as she opened a suitcase containing the hard drive.
“And he flew home and got the computer it was on and the hard drive and [he met] Ray-J at the airport and got it all back for me.”
In a confessional, Kim added: “I know Kanye did this for me but he also did this for my kids. I want to shield them from as much as I can, and if I have the power to or if Kanye has the power to, like that is the most important thing to me, and I’m just like so emotional because of it. And it just means a lot to me.”
