'Dancing With the Stars' host Brooke Burke is under fire alongside boyfriend and former 'Baywatch' star David Charvet for allegedly filling their expensive Malibu home with stolen property in 2007.

Video of Burke's deposition in the civil lawsuit has now surfaced at RadarOnline.com. In the clip, the model faces questions about checks made out to EuroConcepts employee Zalfa "Zee" Halaby, who is accused of selling Burke and Charvet $70,000 worth of home appliances for half the price and pocketing the cash.

In the deposition, an increasingly frustrated Burke asks: "Are we going to repeat the question? Do you want me to answer it again for you? I don't know why you're asking me the same question three different ways."

Burke's questioner echoes her own agitation, asking her to be patient and let him finish his questions before interrupting.

"I'm being very patient, but this could go..." Burke begins before trailing off.

The lawsuit contends that Burke and Charvet paid Zalfa Halaby, a showroom employee at EuroConcepts, in cash and checks for high-end home appliances. Halaby allegedly kept the money for selling the store's merchandise. The items in question include a stainless steel barbecue grill, a refrigerator and a freezer.

"She [Halaby] is now a defendant in this case," EuroConcepts attorney Sanford Passman tells Radar. "Now, we have to find out how deeply Brooke Burke and David Charvet are ensnared in this."

Burke spends the duration of the deposition clip irritated and denies she and her husband had any knowledge they'd acquired stolen goods.
