The alleged home incident at the former TV housewife’s home comes amid a reported uptick of home invasions in Los Angeles in recent months.
In October, “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Dorit Kensley was held at gunpoint by three burglars at her Encino Hills house in California. Kemsley’s two children – 7-year-old son Jagger and 5-year-old daughter Phoenix – were inside. No one was harmed.
