The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley is currently engaged in a contentious divorce with Paul ‘PK’ Kemsley. It has somewhat played out on the show, and she is just trying to do her best to take care of herself and her kids. Now, her estranged ex is accusing the author and designer of blackmail and extortion. Keep reading for more on what the RHOBH beauty is going through.
Dorit Kemsley’s Fairytale Turned Into a Nightmare
When RHOBH viewers first met PK and Dorit Kemsley in Season 7, it appeared that they lived a lavish life. They had been brought on by Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd, and fans watched as PK gifted his wife a rose gold Bentley Continental GTC convertible for her birthday. He met her when he was broke but built himself back up, sharing two children, Phoenix and Jagger. Furthermore, he managed Boy George of Culture Club, and they traveled all over. Then, the marriage crumbled amid robberies, PTSD, and PK’s constant time away from California.
Dorit claimed the divorce was rough, that he ex was an alcoholic, and that he had stopped paying the mortgage. Their home was facing foreclosure but Dorit kept spending. In the current court filings, PK has claimed that Dorit has lived lavishly, all while the mortgage continued to lapse. The 58-year-old manager is also maintaining that his estranged wife attempted to blackmail him out of a total of $100K. Dorit allegedly wanted two payments of $50K or she would “ruin his reputation and his relationship with his girlfriend.” Since this claim was made, texts have emerged between the former couple which seemingly prove what PK is stating.

Season 15 of RHOBH has not been a good one for Dorit Kemsley. She has lost several close friends and castmates, while fans are sick of her attitude. However, she has always lived beyond her means and even Camille Grammer Meyer questioned where she was getting her money.
A Horrid Ending
Dorit Kemsley seemed very much in love with PK, something fans could not understand. She was a doting and loving wife. Now, the RHOBH star is starting to look unhinged when it comes to her estranged husband and it is quite sad. PK is now insisting that he made it very clear what was going on regarding the home and their finances, despite how it was presented on Bravo. He does not seem to want a smear campaign and would like people to see the side of Dorit he has long known. So, what are fans saying now that this has emerged?
- Am I wrong or is Dorit total manipulative?! Justice for LvP! She completely ignores her spending!!!!!
- This is going to end up being a very nasty divorce.
- Starting to think PK isn’t the problem…….
Some did feel that excessive spending is not as bad as failing to see their kids, which PK seemingly has done. Time will tell how this all plays out, and it may secure Dorit Kemsley another year.
