Spend your nights in Dubai's swankiest pads, your days basking in the sun-kissed streets of Saint-Tropez, and enjoy the lavish life of Monaco's high society - that's the life of Robert and Carmen Geiss, Germany's famous television duo. But their tranquil Côte d'Azur villa turned into a crime scene last weekend.
In an emotional Instagram video posted on Saturday night, Robert Geiss, 61, revealed the horror that unfolded in their own backyard. With a disheveled appearance, he walked around the property, exchanging words with police officers. "We were robbed in our own home by the lowliest, by four armed morons. You know what? Unfortunately, Saint-Tropez isn't safe," he lamented. The footage showed four armed men forcing their way into the villa and later leaving with an unknown loot.
The Couple's Grim Ordeal
In a subsequent video, Robert reported that his wife, Carmen, had a cut on her neck and was choked. He too was kicked in the ribs, possibly fracturing one. "I think I've cracked a rib, but what can you do against four people with a gun?" he said, trying to remain stoic. The distressing scenes played out as paramedics rushed to the villa to tend to the injured couple.
The Geisses' daughters, Shania and Davina, were fortunately not present during the incident. Shania responded to her father's post, expressing her anguish, "It's heartbreaking to see we're not safe anywhere, not even at home. I hope they're caught. I'm shattered to know they hurt you. But I'm so grateful it wasn't worse!"
Davina shared her grief, "I can't believe this! My heart is broken witnessing Mom crying. Those bastards hurt my parents so badly. This world is twisted, filled with so many vile people. So many terrible things happen, but this has to be the worst thing that's ever happened to us."
Robert expressed hope that the surveillance cameras had captured the entire incident for the police investigation to nab the culprits. "We're grateful to be alive," wrote Robert.
