TV host and real estate agent Camille Anderson is speaking out after she was robbed in Beverly Hills.
“I can’t believe I’m about to say this. I was mugged in Beverly Hills over the weekend,” Anderson, 47, said via Instagram on Tuesday, August 19. “I was thrown to the ground very forcefully, like, body slammed into the ground. There were several men.”
While the Selling Mega Mansions star is grateful she wasn’t “hurt badly,” she wanted to share her story in hopes others will be extra cautious.
“I just wanna get this message out there to take safety so seriously in Los Angeles,” she said. “Don’t carry any designer bags with any kind of logos. Don’t wear any nice watches. It definitely attracts these criminals.”
The Beverly Hills Police Department confirmed to People on Friday, August 22, that three men were arrested on charges of robbery and conspiracy related to an incident on Saturday, August 16. (They could not confirm the victim’s name.)
According to Anderson, police officials “did a phenomenal job” and were “super fast acting.”
“They found [the suspects] quickly,” Anderson claimed. “It seemed like literally within ten minutes, they took me and my friend up to the place where they found them. We were able to ID them.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Beverly Hills Police and Anderson’s rep for additional comment.
In her Instagram caption, Anderson said she initially didn’t want to share her story. But after some thought, the University of Texas at Austin alum hoped her experience could spark a “greater conversation and some good can come out of it.”
“I’ve had a few days to process this and now I’m mad,” she wrote. “I’m mad that these a**holes so clearly have no regard for human life. For what, a purse, a watch and a phone? Guess what, they were caught. Beverly Hills police were extremely pro-active and acted at lightning speed. THANK YOU.”
Moving forward, Anderson wants to find solutions to prevent these crimes from happening again.
Several A-listers have decided to say goodbye to Los Angeles and grow roots elsewhere. Years after This Is Us came to an end, for example, star Chrissy Metz relocated from the City of Angels to Nashville. “I was in L.A. for 21 years, but my family is in Florida, where I’m from, and during the […]
“How can we keep this from happening in the first place?” she asked. “Because I was lucky enough to walk away with some scrapes and bruises. But the next person may not be that lucky.”
Anderson received support from several followers and friends, including Jason Oppenheim.
“Great advice and I’m really sorry this happened to you Camille,” the Selling Sunset star wrote in the comments section. “I’m glad you’re ok.”
