In October 2021, Dorit was at home with her children, Jagger and Phoenix, when three male intruders entered her house. Paul was not present at the time.
“One moment I was lifting my head from the pillow,” she recounted. “The next I was being forced backward, pushed down hard onto my knees. My hands hit the carpet. A gun pressed against the side of my head.”
Dorit described pleading with the intruders to spare her and her children, emphasizing that the children remained unaware of the situation at the time.
“My children were safe. They had slept through it. They did not know the details. Their mornings still looked the same. Their routines were intact,” she wrote, explaining her decision to continue filming the Bravo reality series to preserve a sense of “normalcy” following the traumatic event.
Some doubters questioned the authenticity of the reports and even suggested Paul was involved in staging the incident.
“There were suggestions – not always direct, but unmistakable – that PK had something to do with it,” she clarified. “Even now, the accusation feels surreal. He did not.”
Dorit further revealed in her memoir, “The more I protected him publicly, the more alone I felt privately. I was beginning to understand that something had shifted between us in ways I had not yet fully processed… The night of the invasion had changed me. What I had not yet grasped was how deeply it had altered the space between us. And before I could understand what that meant for our marriage, I had to confront what it had done to me.”
