Dorit Kemsley admitted to feeling confused and hurt by Garcelle Beauvais' reference to her 2021 home invasion on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. "That hurt me more than anything," Dorit, 47, revealed on the December 6 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. "I can handle being called talkative or anything else, but that comment really shocked me and cut deep."
During the November 29 episode of RHOBH, Garcelle, 57, brought up Dorit’s robbery in a confessional after Sutton Stracke noticed Kyle Richards wearing a new “sapphire and diamond” ring. “I don’t even know how Sutton even noticed that Kyle was wearing a different ring. I never pay attention to that,” Garcelle said, adding, “The only time I notice new jewelry is when, after the robbery, Dorit still had hers.”
The comment seemed to suggest that Garcelle questions whether Dorit’s stolen jewelry was legitimate. In response to this, Dorit stated on Wednesday that she was considering reaching out to Garcelle to clarify, saying, “‘Is this really, like, how you feel?’ Because that was shocking to me. … Is there anything you want to say to me?”
Dorit playfully hinted at a possible confrontation with Garcelle during the upcoming season 13 reunion of RHOBH, and mentioned that the incident had deeply hurt her.
In October 2021, Dorit and her husband PK Kemsley's two children, 8-year-old son Jagger and 7-year-old daughter Phoenix, were in the house when Dorit was robbed at gunpoint. PK, 56, was away on business in London at the time.
The Los Angeles Police Department informed us that three male suspects stole various items, including jewelry, handbags, and other valuables, before escaping in a black truck. The robbery lasted approximately 20 minutes. Dorit, on her end, "was frightened and cooperated with the suspects' demands by showing them where the valuables were located."
Dorit Kemsley and Garcelle Beauvais were at the center of a hotly discussed incident during season 12 of RHOBH. The home invasion and its aftermath gripped viewers, with Dorit sharing her harrowing experience during the May 2022 season premiere. "When [the first robber] saw me, he panicked and he charged at me and grabbed me," Dorit recalled. "He said, 'Get down on the f–king ground. I’m gonna f–king kill you.' 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.'"
She persisted: “I pleaded and pleaded, and the other man kept saying, ‘Just f–king kill her! Just f–king kill her.’ I thought, ‘This is the end, I’m going to die, he's going to pull the trigger.’ I imagined them ending my life and then going to harm my children.”
