In October 2021, Dorit was home with their children, Jagger and Phoenix, when three male intruders broke into their house. Paul was out of town at the time of the incident.
“One moment I was lifting my head from the pillow,” the mom-of-two wrote. “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 revealed she begged the intruders to let her and her kids live during the harrowing ordeal, adding the children were unaware 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 penned, explaining she decided to keep filming the Bravo reality series to maintain a sense of “normalcy” amid the aftermath of the traumatic experience.
Some skeptics questioned the legitimacy of the reports and even accused Paul of 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 added in the 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.”
