Jeremy Piven’s home was burglarized this week while he was overseas and it seems like he’s going to have to invest in a whole new wardrobe because of it.

The actor reportedly lost $20,000 worth of clothing when his California mansion was broken into earlier this week. Law enforcement sources confirmed to TMZ that the intruders smashed one of the windows in Piven’s home before stealing all of his pricey designer garb. No arrests have been made in the case so far, but police are reviewing video footage of the event in the hopes of identifying the perpetrators. The Entourage star’s representative told the outlet, “It’s unfortunate when high profile celebrities are a target of home robberies when traveling. Jeremy was out of town at the time doing his stand-up comedy shows in the U.K.”

Piven first purchased his mansion in the Mount Olympus section of the Hollywood Hills in 2017, paying $7 million for the “retro-contemporary” home that overlooks downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean. The home features an open floor plan, glass walls, a patio, fireplace, and infinity-edge pool. Since being accused of sexual misconduct in 2017—allegations Piven has “unequivocally” denied—he has gone on hiatus from acting in order to pursue a stand-up comedy career instead. In 2018, he was once again accused of inappropriate behavior by several women, which he also denies.
