Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley has given more details about her home invasion. The reality star was the victim of a home invasion that occurred in late October 2021. Kemsley spoke with Extra in her first on-camera interview since the terrifying event.
She spoke with special correspondent and previous Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Teddi Mellencamp about what happened. She told Mellencamp that she was “completely taken off guard” and described how “[the intruders] were surprised to see me at home”.
The fashion designer added “ I begged them, I begged for my life, and begged for [my children’s] lives” also adding “I said ‘I don’t care about any of it, take it all. You can have it all’ and ‘I’m a mother of babies. Please, they need me. Please don’t hurt me’”.
Kemsley also noted that her two kids, Jagger (7) and Phoenix (5), were asleep the entire time and do not know anything about what happened that night. Her husband Paul (PK) Kemsley was in London when the home invasion occurred.
