Dorit Kemsley, a prominent star of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” has filed for divorce from her husband, PK Kemsley, citing irreconcilable differences. After a decade of marriage, the couple is focusing on their two children amid the separation. For now, they’re concentrating on their son Jagger, 11, and their daughter Phoenix, 9.
The surprise divorce filing on Friday is the biggest shocker and biggest game changer we’ve seen yet. In her initial court documents, Dorit Kemsley had called for spousal support from Paul and sole custody of their children. The choice to make the separation a permanent one was said to have been mutual, giving each party the opportunity to step away and reassess their marriage.
On a recent reunion episode of that reality show, PK Kemsley removed himself from the physical reunion, making the choice to join virtually. Instead, he emailed a letter, which host Andy Cohen subsequently read to the entire audience. The letter sought to answer many of the questions asked at the reunion and shine a light on PK’s treatment of their marriage through the years. He emphasized his reluctance to engage in public disputes, stating, “I don’t believe engaging with Dorit in this forum would be constructive.”
During the course of the reunion, cast member Dorit Kemsley said enough nasty things about her husband’s parenting skills. She accused him of being a “bad father,” which PK quickly shot down. He expressed his frustration with the mischaracterizations, stating, “Those closest to us know the truth. Many have wanted to speak out, but I have asked them not to because the truth should never need a champion.”
The couple’s very public separation has been marred by speculation and gossip about their relationship’s power imbalance. Yet both have publicly ruled out any doomsday scenario as the basis for their decision. Dorit Kemsley clarified, “There was no catastrophic event — no one cheated on anyone,” asserting that their split was not due to infidelity or major conflicts.
Dorit opened up about what caused their split. She admitted that desires for the material things tensioned the relationship but insisted it wasn’t the crux of their decision to break up. She remarked, “Listen, if I haven’t changed in 14 years, then something’s wrong with me.” This testimony captures her hope for forward-looking development and transformation as they journey through this painful new episode.
PK Kemsley spoke very personally about the changes he’s seen in his wife since then. He stated in his letter, “The Dorit I married would never have allowed this, much less caused it. That woman embodied kindness, integrity, and grace.” Yet above all, I read the expressive disappointment in his comments that their relationship could not be transformed.
Dorit opened up and shared strong emotions about PK’s importance in her life. She stated, “He’s my soul, he’s my blood, he’s my heart, and I hate that, because it makes it so much more difficult. I know I need peace.” This sense, which faucet the emotional ambivalence although their decision is rare.
PK has been compounding their mystery ever since they announced their split. Recently he was noticed having a great time with beauty Shana Wall at Da Silvano Beverly Hills. This appearance has sparked even more rumors and theories as to what’s going on with his marriage to Dorit.
