‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Star Dorit Kemsley’s House Robbed: Everything We Know

A terrifying situation. Dorit Kemsley’s Encino, California, home was burglarized on Wednesday, October 27, Us Weekly can confirm. “A home invasion robbery happened at 10:50 pm last night and it happened at the 1700 block of Adlon Road,” the Los Angeles Police Department told Us in a statement. “We don't have specific details of the investigating detective or if a gun was used or not. We're getting very vague information since it's in its preliminary stages." According to Daily Mail, which was first to report the news, the 45-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was sleeping when three men entered her bedroom with a gun. She reportedly pleaded with the robbers not to harm her two children — son, Jagger, 7, and her daughter, Phoenix, 5 — whom she shares with husband Paul “PK” Kemsley. The burglary went down just hours after Dorit was asked about her designer wardrobe during part three of the RHOBH reunion — during which she noted that she pays for “every single piece” in her closest rather than ask for freebies. “I’m really particular,” she told Andy Cohen at the pre-taped special. “I want to wear what I want to wear, and it’s just easier. I just think, ‘I’ll buy it.' … I wanna wear what I wanna wear. I dress for myself, what I like.” [jwplayer lAaUHnXI-zhNYySv2] Dorit’s hairstylist Justine Marjan recently gave Us insight into how intense she is about her fashions: “We always plan her looks based on her wardrobe. Dorit is incredible at sourcing beautiful designer pieces, and this season was all about the vintage pieces she found.” Fellow diamond-holder Kyle Richards’ home was robbed in 2018. The actress and husband Mauricio Umansky weren’t home when more than $1 million in jewelry and handbags were stolen from her Encino mansion. “Everything was taken,” Richards said at the time. “Everything my mother, who passed away, had ever collected and saved to give to me — that I had always envisioned of passing on to my four daughters — was gone. Even my children’s baby bracelets. Obviously, those are the things that hurt the most, things that I can’t replace. They’re completely invaluable. The material things, yes they can be replaced, but they also hurt.” She added: “I feel embarrassed to say that, but those are things that were either given to me by someone that I care about or that I worked really hard for. So it hurts no matter what.” Scroll through for more on Dorit’s robbery: [podcast_block]

Is ‘RHOBH’ Filming?

Erika Jayne and Garcelle Beauvais were spotted filming season 12 of the Bravo series before the news broke on Thursday. The Pretty Mess author, Lisa Rinna, Kyle and Teddi Mellencamp were subsequently spotted at Dorit’s home. Bravo has yet to officially confirm the cast for the new season, but it appears all the full-time cast members will be returning in some capacity.

"The girls immediately rushed by her side to comfort her. They genuinely were worried about her and her kids," a source told Us. "Dorit was really scared and is completely traumatized. She was focused on the safety of her kids - they're her number one priority. Right now she's going to remain by her family's side as they try to get through this."

PK Speaks

The couple broke their silence via a joint statement on PK’s Instagram page on Friday.

"I would like to thank you all for your kind words of support. Dorit and myself have been overwhelmed by the show of love,” he wrote. “We can’t respond to every message ( I can’t even respond to all the texts and what’s apps).... So I wanted to tell you all that we are doing OK. I’m home and we are all together and will get through this. The babies are great they are the totally unaware and life is going to return to normal hopefully very quickly.”

How It Aired on ‘RHOBH’

The season 12 premiere followed the robbery.

"When [the first robber] saw me, he panicked and he charged at me and grabbed me. [He said], ‘Get down on the f—king ground. I'm gonna f—king kill you,’” Dorit said. "I was just hunched over sobbing, going, 'Please I have little babies. Please, I'm a mother. Please, I beg of you, my kids need me, please please please please.' I was begging and begging and the other guy's going 'just f—king kill her! Just f—king kill her.’ I thought, this is it, 'I'm gonna die, he's gonna pull the trigger.' I envisioned them killing me and then going and killing my kids.”

After they stole bags and jewelry, which Dorit described as “irreplaceable items,” she said to the men, “You took a lot, get out now while you can please."

The security camera footage showed the men running out of her house and leaving her phone behind.
