Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley, 50, has been embroiled in a bitter divorce battle with Paul “PK” Kemsley, 58, since she filed in April 2025, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
The couple, who initially separated in May 2024, has been going back and forth over financial issues.
In the latest news, PK has fired back at Dorit’s claims that he had to spend $700K on designer clothing for RHOBH.
TMZ obtained court documents in which PK shared that reality TV follows cast members’ real lives. He insisted production did not require Dorit to spend exorbitant amounts of money on clothing, jewelry, glam, stylists, and handbags.
He called her wardrobe and glam expenses personal ones rather than ones required by her job. He noted that many of the items could be worn when she was not in front of a camera.
PK also alleged that his estranged wife makes more money than he does, but he shared that she has refused to give any of it up toward the mortgages, insurance, taxes, and operating expenses for the home she has lived in since the pair split.
He also went at her for going on a vacation in Europe for a few weeks without their children.
For her part, Dorit insisted she spent the money because she had to remain “camera ready” for RHOBH.
She detailed that she doled out around $217K while filming season 15 and roughly $500K during previous seasons, which came to a grand total of around $713K over a period of 26 months.
Dorit also explained that the raw totals provided didn’t paint the entire picture, as many purchases ended up being returned or credited when items were unsuitable or did not fit her. She also claimed PK had stopped paying the mortgage on their home even though he allegedly has more than enough money to pay the bills
In the wake of that news, TMZ also revealed that Dorit has requested child support, as she alleged she is their children’s primary caregiver and that PK is only with them 5% of the time.
In a court filing, Dorit explicitly stated that her kids are “in her custodial care 95% of the time without spousal or child support.”
She also claimed that PK is the one out of the pair spending a ton on personal expenses instead of paying bills.
Additionally, Dorit requested the court deny PK’s request to sell the home she resides in with their children, alleging PK’s claims that the home is in danger of being foreclosed upon are ridiculous, as he has more than enough money to catch up on missed payments.
Due to all of the back and forth, it does not seem likely the pair will come to any resolution anytime soon.
