Dorit Kemsley has been the victim of another crime.

During a sneak peek of next week’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kemsley, 47, revealed that she had a handbag with $10,000 in cash in it stolen from her, 14 months after her home was invaded by robbers.

“Last Christmas was about 14 months after the home invasion and I went to the bank,” explained Kemsley in a confessional clip. “I took out $10,000 so I could have some money for Christmas gifts. I had my handbag in the shopping cart. When I got to the register, I realized that my handbag was gone.”

“The police reviewed the video surveillance,” she continued. “They discovered that I was followed by three men. That threw me right back into the throes of PTSD.”

The reality TV star was referencing an incident in October 2021 when three male intruders broke into her residence in the Encino Hills area of Los Angeles. At the time, she was at home with her son Jagger, 9, and daughter Phoenix, 7, who slept through the incident. Her husband, Paul "PK" Kemsley, was out of town.

Authorities told PEOPLE at the time that there were no injuries and an "unknown amount of property" was taken from the residence.

Kemsley recalled the terrifying experience during the RHOBH season 12 premiere in May 2022, explaining how one of the intruders held a gun to her head.

The reality TV star spoke about the loss of her handbag and $10,000 as she sat down for a picnic with her fellow Housewife Erika Girardi. The pair discussed her marriage to PK, 56, after Giradi speculated at last year's BravoCon that the couple were heading for "splitsville."

“You know how much I love my husband? We had a really difficult year,” Dorit told Giradi, 52. “He was spending a lot of time in London, and it was the year that I needed him the most. I also didn’t feel supported enough and I didn’t feel as connected.”

“Had I known PK and Dorit were in a tough spot I would have never said what I said,” explained Giradi in a confessional. “I would have ruined someone’s else life,” she added with a laugh.

During the RHOBH season 13 premiere earlier this month, Dorit confronted her costar for suggesting that she and PK would be the next “Bravolebrity couple” to split.

"That was deeply hurtful," she told Girardi. "What you said about PK and I was mean-spirited."

Apologizing and explaining why she did it, Girardi said that she was asked "a shady question" and then "gave a shady answer."

On Wednesday, Dorit and PK were once against forced to deny issues in their marriage after rumors spread that they were living separately.

The pair told PEOPLE that while they’ve had “some challenging years," — which they "openly discuss" in season 13 of the Bravo series — their eight-year marriage remains intact.

"We remain committed to working through these issues as a united couple for our family," the couple shared in the statement. "We have not separated nor are we planning to do so. Rather, we are focused on healing, making changes and doing the things that many couples have to do at some point in their marriage."

The issue came up again during Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen when a caller asked Dorit's friends, Kyle Richards and Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, about the rumored separation.

“We haven’t seen those yet,” responded Mellencamp Arroyave, 42.

“I did not see that. That came out today?” added a visibly shocked Richards, 54. “I have not heard that.”
