Garcelle Beauvais was targeted with a swatting call at her Los Angeles home on Sunday night.
Months after the 59-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum was faced with her first swatting incident, which took place when she and her sons and their friends were away at her beach house, Garcelle was left feeling terrified after learning that a man claiming to be her ex-boyfriend had phoned police and told them he was armed with a sawed-off shotgun at her house.
According to a January 26 report from TMZ, law enforcement sources confirmed the bogus 911 call, revealing that a possible assault with a deadly weapon, as well as shots fired, were reported.
However, when they arrived at the scene, the man wouldn’t meet with them. And, after searching the residence, police determined that there was no evidence of a crime and that the incident was a case of swatting, which is when someone makes a bogus crime report to generate a large response from law enforcement.
Because she was at home by herself when the ordeal went down, Garcelle was said to have found the incident “extremely scary” and “deeply concerning,” and is doing what she can to make sure this was the last swatting experience she’ll have.
In other news, Garcelle addressed the possibility of reconciling with her former RHOBH castmates, including Sutton Stracke, 54, who recently spoke of their estrangement on season 15.
“I’m not looking for that, and I don’t think they are either. So it’s probably even,” she explained to PEOPLE earlier this month, adding that the “past is the past.”
Nearly a year after quitting the show, Garcelle said she feels “fantastic” and “much lighter.”
“It was a good thing, obviously,” she said of leaving Bravo. “I love my life now. I love a little bit of privacy, and I love doing the projects that I’m doing, so it’s good. It’s nice not to have the camera in your face all the time. And my kids appreciate that too.”
Garcelle shares Oliver Saunders, 34, with her first ex-husband, Daniel Saunders, and 18-year-old twins Jax and Jaid with her second ex-husband, Michael Nilon.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
