Actress Amanda Abbington has alleged that she was robbed at the 2016 Primetime Emmy Awards Sunday night, Entertainment Tonight reports.
In a series of tweets posted early Monday morning, the Sherlock star claimed that while she was out of her seat during the telecast, her purse was stolen from under her chair.

“Thanks for the lovely tweets re; the Emmy’s. So pleased we won! Cool, right?” she wrote. “However, we went to up to collect the Emmy, did some press, came back to my seat and some bastard had nicked my purse from under my seat. Nice. Had my phone and driver’s licence in it. So whoever took my purse, I hope some terrible Karmic s**t happens to you. How crappy is that.”

The Emmys normally use seat fillers to hold a winner’s place while they are accepting their award, but Abbington did not note whether or not she saw someone in her seat while she was gone.
