What are the details of Dorit's shocking home robbery?
As scary as this sounds, three men broke into Dorit and Paul’s home in Encino, Calif., while she was inside with her two kids.
According to the Daily Mail, Dorit was held at gunpoint around 11 p.m. on the night of Oct. 27, 2021. The thieves ransacked the home for about 20 minutes looking for valuables and expensive items. They ended up taking Dorit's jewelry, handbags, and more. Authorities told People that an “unknown amount of property" was stolen from Dorit and Paul. This tragic incident is absolutely terrifying, and it’s heartbreaking that Dorit’s life was put on the line while it was happening.
Have Dorit and Paul ever had any other public issues?
The robbery Dorit just endured is likely going to be difficult to move past since it was such a traumatic event. This isn’t the only time her family has dealt with a financial crisis in the past though. According to Reality Tea, Dorit's husband Paul was wrapped up in a messy lawsuit with the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas for several years. He ended up getting sued by the casino in 2013 because he was unable to pay off a debt of $3.6 million he owed after a night of gambling gone wrong.
Paul began paying his debt off in increments of $875,000 until the point of having to file bankruptcy. In 2019, the lawsuit between Paul and the Bellagio was finally settled.
Hopefully, the thieves who broke into their Encino home get caught, and the family gets their belongings returned to them.
