The 45-year-old TV personality appeared on "Watch What Happens Live" with her co-star Kyle Richards on Wednesday night, May 11. When asked if any arrests had been made in connection the incident by Andy Cohen, she told his talk show, "No, I don't believe so."
The incident involved three unidentified men breaking into her Encino home, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. It took place in October as her husband Paul "PK" Kemsley and their 7-year-old son Jagger and 5-year-old daughter Phoenix were at home.
During the premiere of season 12 of the Bravo reality show, Dorit recounted the harrowing moment of being held at gunpoint and "begging" for her life. In her confessional, she said, "Please, please. I have little babies. Please, I'm a mother. Please, I beg of you. My kids need me."

She said, "Obviously, it's a particularly difficult time because I'm reliving it, and there's a lot that's resurfacing. But, you know, I'll get through it. I know I will."
Dorit added that she "grateful" her family came out "safe" after the ordeal, saying, "first and foremost, I'm so grateful that myself and my family are safe." She also explained why she "hadn't before" turned on the security alarm because of her small kids.
The reality TV star told the 53-year-old executive producer, "I have small children. They get up in the middle of the night, and usually come to my room. If I put the alarm on, and the reason why I don't, or hadn't before, is because they could drift downstairs and then the alarm would go off."
Dorit then repeated how "grateful" for how all turned out because it could have turned out differently. She said, "I'm grateful that I was able to be level-headed because I look back and I think, 'My God, it could have gone a hundred different ways.' "
