Dorit:  "I'm a Mother, Please Don't Kill Me!"

 

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley, 45, was held at gunpoint and robbed Wednesday night during an invasion at her Encino Hills home while her children, ages 7 and 5, were in the house.Three men broke into the residence just before 11 p.m. PT while she was asleep, a source close to Kemsley told DailyMail.com.

 

Kemsley had only just returned from a trip to London, where she attended her nephew's wedding on Tuesday night alongside her husband, Paul Kemsley. "PK" was still abroad at the time of the attack and is now headed back to California to be with his wife, who is said to have been inconsolable by the incident. The source said Kemsley's only focus during the invasion was to protect her children. 

 

 

The unknown intruders entered the home around 10:50pm by smashing through the children's classroom door. Two of the suspects walked into Kemsley's bedroom while she was sleeping. She woke to them standing at the end of her bed. They grabbed her as as she begged: "Don’t hurt my babies. Don’t kill me. I'm a mother.", to which one of the men responded, "Kill her.".

 

The intruders proceeded to ransack the house for about 20 minutes, stealing all of Kemsley's jewelry and handbags. They did not enter the bedrooms belonging to her children and no one was injured during the incident.  After the intruders left, Kemsley contacted police and her husband, who was in London at the time.Los Angeles police said the identity of the suspects and value of stolen property remains unknown. The Robbery-Homicide Division is investigating.

 

 

Kemsley was spotted for the first time since the invasion on Thursday morning. She is seen walking in a hooded sweatshirt alongside an unidentified blonde. The reality star appeared to be on her phone and kept her head down as she walked.  It is unclear where the pair was headed.  RHOBH's co-stars/friends Erika Jayne, Lisa Rinna, and Teddi Mellencamp were seen arriving at Dorit's home on Thursday morning as well.

 

 

RHOBH had already begun filming for season 12, and Kemsley herself was schelduled to begin filming on Thursday, but it is believed that production will be temporarily delayed.

 

Kemsley first joined the RHOBH cast in 2016 after having moved to Los Angeles the year prior. The Connecticut native gained fame in the late 2000s after she moved to New York City and launched her swimwear line, Dorit International.  In 2017, she launched Beverly Beach, an affordable swimwear line made in Los Angeles. Two years later, the brand expanded to include athletic-wear and other accessories. Kemsley has recently launched a bridal collection with Nektaria.

 

Dorit and PK met while she was living in New York and wed in 2015. The couple shares two children, a 7-year-old son, Jagger and a daughter, Phoenix, 5.
