Remember that time Shakira's purse was stolen by wild boars? Well, she's opened up further about the robbery and says that "people were just watching and they weren't doing anything" as she was robbed blind by pigs. 

In an interview with Glamour, Shakira tells the story in a bit more detail than she did on her original Insta story, claiming that the pigs were attracted to her purse because they wanted the sandwich she was carrying with her. 

"I was taking my son, Milan, for a walk in the park and I got him a little ice cream. We sat on one of those park benches and we were just minding our own business. And then two huge wild boars came from the back and ambushed [us] and took my purse!" 

Shakira continued, "And I was like, 'Oh, my God! Oh, my God!' and screaming, because they were taking it away, with my phone in it, my car keys, everything! Like they could understand me! And people were just watching and they weren't doing anything!"

"They started digging inside my purse," Shakira added. "Obviously my son's sandwich was inside the purse, so that's why they were so interested. So they took the sandwich and walked away and left my purse. It was wild."

In the end, Shakira got her stuff back — mostly — and the pigs got their sandwich, so things ultimately could've been worse.
