"She didn't want to not show up to work," the insider added. "The production company made her feel safe, but they didn't file a police report. They think now that people were after the car itself because it's worth a lot of money."

Days after the ordeal, the former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star responded to an online troll who hoped she would have "taken a grazing shot" to her neck.

"Don’t care kinda hope she would have taken a grazing shot to the neck honestly," one user wrote, according to Page Six.

"Thank you. I would never wish any harm on anyone," she voiced on Twitter. "What I experienced yesterday with my husband, not that you care. Was the most terrifying situation I have ever been in. 

"I’m sorry a shot didn’t graze my neck…a--hole."

Twitter later deleted the user's tweet after it "violated the Twitter Rules."
