As if the divorce saga is not enough, Dorit Kemsley‘s estranged husband has driven into another drama.
As Paul Kemsley continues to fight his way through his split from the reality star, the businessman was recently caught causing mild damage to his neighbor’s property and carrying on almost unbothered.
Dorit Kemsley and Paul Kemsley’s ongoing divorce has been laced with several dramas, including reports of him defaulting on mortgage payments on their $6 million mansion.
Paul was spotted on Tuesday, May 12, moving his expensive Range Rover out into the street, but the plans changed midway, and he rammed into a Toyota RAV4, which his neighbor’s caregiver reportedly owned.
The entrepreneur was spotted zooming off with a noticeable dent in his car, and when he returned, he did not pay any attention to the other car either; he strolled into the building.
He, however, addressed TMZ briefly about the incident, stressing that he miscalculated by initially thinking his New Range Rover had braked for him. To his surprise, he noticed the brief contact with the Toyota left the “world’s tiniest mark” on his car.
Paul added that he actually went over to the affected person and apologized, alongside an offer to pay for the fix. In his words:
“Entirely my fault. Although, in fairness, trying to reverse while subconsciously searching for paparazzi hiding in bushes is probably not recommended by Land Rover.”
Paul Kemsley Is Looking Forward To A New Horizon After His Divorce
The property developer has credited their decision to appear on Bravo’s franchise as the catalyst for their marital issues. As shared by The Blast, Paul admitted that he and Dorit internalized some of the wrong narratives being fueled by producers of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” about their marriage.
Now that the chapter is closed, Paul expressed that he is looking forward to moving on from such a low moment in his life. Most importantly for him, his entire life is not defined by carefully edited snippets on a show by ratings-centered producers.
Paul added that the reason why he avoided addressing Dorit’s stories about the reason for their separation and divorce on the show was to shield their children from unhealthy drama. According to him: “I wouldn’t have encouraged it, and I would have strongly recommended — in any capacity, my capacity as a manager, as a business guy, father and husband — if I’d have had somebody who would listen, I’d say, ‘That is the wrong thing to do.’”
Dorit Kemsley And Her Estranged Husband Are At War Over Child Custody
The Bravo star and her former partner locked horns in court over the custody of their children as the reality star gunned for sole legal and physical custody.
Paul instantly kicked back, gunning for joint custody as a healthier option and insisting that his estranged wife does not have to pay him spousal support.
Insiders have noted that Dorit’s pursuit for sole custody may have been linked to concerns over the property developer’s relationship with alcohol.
As for the reality star, she is laser-focused on ensuring her kids’ happiness through it all and becoming a better version of herself.
Paul came clean about battling alcoholism in the past, admitting that it played a role in his failed marriage, but Dorit also saw it as an avenue to weaponize his nightmare with alcohol.
The property developer continued that Dorit intended to use his struggle as a means to score cheap points while ignoring all his efforts to stay sober.
Dorit Turned Down Paul’s Generous Offer
Last week, The Blast shared that Dorit issued a response to her estranged husband’s offer that his home could serve as a solace for the reality star and their two children.
According to the Bravo star, that offer was dead on arrival because in her wildest dream, she would not have done that.
Paul revealed that he had moved out of their former shared home with plans to sell it off before it gets foreclosed.
The sprawling mansion located in Encino, California, features six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and covers nearly 9,000 square feet, but is unfortunately burdened by a significant debt.
The property developer has accused his estranged wife of refusing to cooperate in negotiations surrounding the property.
He continued that she has been erratic, confrontational, and evasive with communications in the process. He has now approached the court to sign off on an immediate sale of the home to protect whatever equity remains.
Currently, the home carries roughly $6 million in mortgage debt, making the family’s financial situation extremely dire.
Is Dorit Kemsley Weaponizing Her Kids?
The estranged couple’s divorce drama took another dramatic turn when Paul claimed she was trying to cleverly extract money for a getaway from him by sending one of their kids to make the request.
In his filing, Paul stressed that their children have come to him for money in order to book and pay the bills for their vacation.
“While I was attempting to address financial issues with [Dorit], she enlisted our [kid] to send text messages to me requesting money for Dorit’s personal expenses, including a trip she wanted to take with the children,” Paul declared.
In the evidence shared by Paul, which was screenshots of his conversation with their child, he was seen engaging in a witty back-and-forth with the kid, seemingly uncovering whatever grand scheme was created to collect funds from him.
