A former model-turned-reality TV host was attacked by “several” muggers as she walked through a popular Beverly Hills neighborhood — before the television personality slammed Los Angeles’ rising violent crime.
Camille Anderson, the host of “Selling Mega Mansions,” was walking with a friend between restaurants in the posh California city Saturday night when “several grown adult men” approached them from an alleyway, she told her Instagram followers Wednesday.
The 47-year-old alleges she was robbed when she tried to fight off her attackers near the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Canon Drive around 9 p.m. Aug. 16.
“I could see someone in the alleyway,” Anderson told KTLA. “I didn’t think much of it and it happened so quickly. They lunged at me and tried to take my purse. I tensed up. It was just my natural reaction.”
Anderson says the robbers failed in their first attempt to grab her purse and threw her to the ground “very forcefully. Like my body slammed into the ground,” she said in a post on Instagram.
The brazen crooks hopped into a waiting getaway car and fled.
Anderson’s screams caught the attention of bystanders, who called 911.
Officers managed to track down the suspects “within 10 minutes,” Anderson told her followers.
Police transported the two friends to the area, where the suspected robbers were captured and Anderson positively identified the three men.
Vlad Oganisyan, 23, Razmik Papikyan, 25, and Grigoryan Vahagn, 45, were arrested and cited in the robbery.
The three men were booked on felony-level charges and bonded out of jail the next morning, according to inmate records viewed by The Post.
They could face charges related to robbery and conspiracy, KTLA reported. Their cases remain under investigation by the Beverly Hills Police Department.
Anderson believes the three men had someone watching for potential victims the night of the attack.
“I do think they possibly had a lookout, whether they were across the street or near the restaurant where we dined,” she told the outlet. “Maybe someone kept an eye on us. I don’t think it was about me in particular, but just the fact that I had a nice purse on and a watch.”
The Post has reached out to the Beverly Hills Police Department.
Anderson, who also appeared in the 2005 film “Wedding Crashers,” escaped the attack relatively unharmed, only sustaining minor scrapes and bruises.
She ripped into the rising crime throughout the area after her robbery.
“I just want to get this message out there to take safety so seriously in Los Angeles. It’s a really big problem,” she said. “I’ve now been mugged in Beverly Hills, I can say. That’s so sad.
“I’ve had a few days to process this and now I’m mad. 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 proactive and acted at lightning speed. THANK YOU.”
The 1998 Miss Austin USA winner praised first-year LA County DA Nathan Hochman and his aggressive push against crime in the county since taking office in December 2024.
“We have an amazing new DA that takes this very seriously. Very tough on crime, hopefully a lot tougher. Let’s see how this goes in the coming weeks,” she said.
Anderson says she has lived in the city for a long time and has witnessed the “change,” and urged her fellow Angelenos to call out the violent crime in the area.
“Here’s the bigger question, though. 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. In fact, people have recently been held up at gunpoint. Please, make this a bigger conversation.”
