Dorit Kemsley is preparing for “war” after her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, threatened her with divorce.
While speaking to Erika Jayne, Bozoma Saint John and Kathy Hilton on Tuesday’s episode of the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” the reality TV star brought up an “angry, horrible note” the English businessman had sent her.
“I wake up to a seven-page email, and it was a barrage,” Dorit explained in her confessional. “It was predominantly financials. His expectations were, within a month or two, that I will be responsible for the mortgage and all the bills associated with the house.”
In the letter, PK allegedly said he wanted to discuss custody of their two children and lawyers, before threatening that “if this doesn’t happen, [he] will be proceeding with divorce.”
“I know this –– if I have to go to war, I will go to war,” the fashion designer, 48, pointed out in the confessional. “Once you get to that headspace, it’s not gonna be easy to pull back.”
Returning to her conversation with her co-stars, Dorit said, “It’s like, what the f–k. He is not a man I recognize at all.”
Jayne –– who is going through her own tumultuous divorce from Tom Girardi –– advised her friend to prepare for what’s to come and “get a f–king lawyer.”
After Dorit admitted that she doesn’t think PK still wants to be married to her, Jayne asked, “Then what are you waiting for?”
“I am the token idiot wife,” Dorit told her.
During their conversation, Jayne pointed out that Dorit was six months away from celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary with PK and, therefore, he may be “trying to divorce [her] before ten years.”
The couple –– who share son Jagger, 10, and daughter Phoenix, 8 –– got married in 2015 and announced their separation in May 2024.
According to California law, assets acquired during the marriage must be divided equally if the couple was married for more than 10 years and alimony can be extended. However, that changes if the couple was married for less time.
“That f–king hurt,” Dorit admitted to her friends. “I don’t know this man.”
Jayne continued to insist that Dorit needs to “protect” herself and be “proactive.”
“Dorit, I worry about you,” Jayne told her. “I really do, and I’m sorry you’re going through this, but I cannot sit here and bulls–t with you when I know what’s coming for you. I wouldn’t be a good friend. You begged for honesty. I’m gonna give it to you.
“You have to protect yourself. You have to go, ‘Hold on a second. The price of poker has completely changed. This is not my partner. This is not my friend, this is my adversary now.’ And let me tell you, that is a f–ked up place to be, but that is where you are,” Jayne continued.
The singer further warned, “You have to be proactive. I’m telling you right now, if you don’t make these decisions, life will make it for you. He will make it for you. Please be proactive.”
“He doesn’t want you back,” Jayne bluntly reminded her. “Everything you told us tonight indicates that that’s the situation. You gotta get out. You gotta get out.”
While neither PK nor Dorti have filed for divorce, they will mark ten years of marriage in a month.
The estranged couple’s separation has been playing out on the current season of “RHOBH,” with Dorit previously claiming that her ex was a “full-blown alcoholic” who would “disappear and be gone for weeks and weeks.”
“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock.
