Dorit Kemsley is firing back at Paul “PK” Kemsley after her estranged husband recently accused her of spending over $1 million on luxury goods amid their messy divorce.
As she also addressed her $6.5 million home‘s impending foreclosure, accused PK, 58, of creating a “false narrative,” and reacted to rumors of a face transplant, the 49-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star revealed what plastic surgery she has done and shaded PK’s inaccurate claims against her.
“I can tell you that what’s been put out there is not entirely accurate,” Dorit confirmed to Us Weekly on June 4. “However, now it’s going to be more headlines, because I have to come back with what the reality is. It’s just a snowball.”
Although Dorit said that her and PK’s back-and-forth was not “not necessary,” she wanted to set the record straight.
“As far as his opinions on what I spent — whether it’s $50,000, $1 million, $25 — it’s money that I’ve earned. I’m supporting our children,” she clarified. “I had asked him from pretty much the get-go for us to sit down and to discuss things and work it out together. In marriage, he was taking care of the finances and the bills. He was making decisions, and there was not a lot of transparency.”
According to Dorit, she thought she and PK “should have [had] those discussions” when they separated, but they did not, which led to what she described as “unfortunate circumstances.”
Dorit went on to note that it was “so difficult and so unfortunate” to have her and PK’s drama publicized.
“Especially when you’re going through, already, an amicable and acrimonious divorce — on top of doing it in the public — makes it more challenging,” she explained. “We have two young children, we have to think about.”
As for the foreclosure, Dorit said she was “not aware of” the situation at first.
“Where we are now, I mean, I’m hoping that we both have the same goal. The house should come out of foreclosure,” she continued. “If PK and I are not together, it makes sense for us to sell the home and for the kids and I to move somewhere else.”
“I just think that everything works out a lot smoother and a lot easier when two people can do it together,” she added.
Dorit then accused PK of painting an untrue image of her.
“I think if one person is looking to paint someone in a bad way, or create a false narrative, they’re going to do various things that they don’t work out for anyone,” she said. “I really hope that we can eventually move away from that and into better times.”
In response, a rep for PK told Us Weekly he had “no comment.”
“He wishes Dorit the very best with her book,” the rep said of PK.
Meanwhile, in chapter 18 of her just-released book, Unburdened, titled “Face Value,” Dorit spoke of plastic surgery rumors.
“Apparently, depending on the week, I’ve had everything from a nose job to cheek implants to a chin implant to a full facial reconstruction. I’ve even heard ‘face transplant.’ Creative,” she wrote. “Honestly, if I’d had a face transplant, I’d hope the recovery photos alone would have made it into someone’s group chat. That feels like the kind of thing that would be hard to keep quiet, even in Beverly Hills.”
Although Dorit admitted that she expected people to speculate, she didn’t think they’d do so with such certainty.
“People don’t say, ‘Maybe she’s had something done.’ They say it like a fact,” she shared. “For the record: no nose job. No facelift. No chin implant. No cheek implants. No reconstructive anything.”
As for what she has had done, Dorit confirmed a breast augmentation and noted that she’d also undergone several other procedures.
“Have I had Botox? Of course. Filler? Yes. Veneers? Absolutely. [And] teeth alone can transform a face more dramatically than most people realize,” she revealed. “I always found it odd that people assume I would admit to one surgery and lie about another. What would be the difference?”
Dorit continued on, pointing back to a past livestream with a plastic surgeon.
“Years ago, when the nose job rumors were particularly loud, I did something that now makes me laugh. I went on Instagram Live with one of the top plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills—a man I had only just met—and asked him, on camera, if he could tell whether someone had had a rhinoplasty just by looking. He said yes. So I had him examine my nose live. His conclusion? No signs of surgery. Was I surprised? Not remotely,” she recalled.
Dorit also noted that while she used to be self-conscious about her nose and thought she’d “eventually change it,” she has since realized that “it suits [her].”
“Somewhere between losing baby fat and gaining perspective, I realized something: It suits me. It is my face. And once you accept that, something shifts,” she concluded.
