Paul “PK” Kemsley fired back at estranged wife Dorit Kemsley’s claims that her contract for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills can explain her so-called “excessive” spending habits.
“Her contract doesn’t state any requirement to update and maintain her wardrobe, make up and hair as a condition for her employment,” PK, 58, alleged in recent court documents filed Thursday, July 30, and obtained by Us. “[Her] contention that she must purchase high clothing and related accessories to seem on this television show just isn’t supported by any agreement or contract requiring such expenditures.”
He claims that from December 28, 2024, through June 28, 2025, Dorit, 50, returned $86,000 in retail purchases but spent $909,000 over 14 months ending February 28, 2026.
“[PK] contends that the quantity [Dorit] spends on her wardrobe is excessive, as there is no such thing as a requirement in her contract to buy lots of of hundreds of dollars of high clothes and niknaks,” as stated within the court papers.
The talent manager can be denying Dorit’s recent motion stipulating that he allegedly did not cover the mortgage on their family home and other household expenses following their separation.
“[Dorit] doesn’t contend that the [home] shouldn’t be sold, but somewhat only disputes the timing and conditions by way of the sale which she maintains must be by mutual agreement,” PK’s filing states. “She doesn’t contend that she has the financial ability to keep up the house and he or she doesn’t acknowledge that she has any obligation to pay for the residence that she exclusively occupies.”
In a court motion filed earlier this week, Dorit accused PK of attempting to “egregiously misuse Family Code 2108” in an try to “side-step trial” and proceed to allegedly avoid making mortgage payments. She also claimed that PK promised to pay their family’s bills after he moved out of their shared home in 2024 in lieu of kid support. (Family Code 2108 allows a family court during a divorce to order the sale or liquidation of community property assets to stop a foul financial loss or high investment risk.)
She also claimed that PK promised to pay their family’s bills after he moved out of their shared home in 2024 in lieu of kid support.
Dorit had reported her income, as prepared by her accountant, as $45,748 per thirty days and claimed that the mortgage payments total greater than she makes. PK, for his part, alleges her calculations are incorrect, claiming that Dorit can be “significantly overstating” his money flow.
“Despite [her] contentions on the contrary, [PK] has provided support to [her] in the shape of paying expenses, which include the primary and second mortgages on the house, utilities, the home manager, nannies, homeschool teachers, private school, tuition, and her automobile lease for several months,” the filing reads, with PK’s attorneys claiming that he paid $300,000 for the house mortgages, a further $420,000 for arrearages, $540,000 for household staff payroll and $57,000 for his or her family’s medical health insurance premiums, along with covering his kids’ private school tuition.
PK’s team alleges on Thursday that Dorit hasn’t made any payment for the mortgages and only covered certain costs for utilities and staff payroll.
“[She] prioritizes the acquisition of wardrobe, makeup and hair with the intention to appear on the RHOBH and spends substantially in excess of any reasonable amounts for those items somewhat than prioritizing the payment of expenses for herself, [their] minor children, or the residence she exclusively occupies,” in keeping with the documents.
Dorit and PK, who share two children, separated in May 2024, one yr before the Bravo star filed for divorce. The estranged couple have since gone back-and-forth in court about funds.
Dorit, who has not addressed PK’s legal accusations, previously defended her spending habits.
“I can let you know that what’s been put on the market just isn’t entirely accurate,” the Unburdened writer exclusively told Us in June. “Nonetheless, now it’s going to be more headlines, because I even have to return back with what the fact is. It’s only a snowball. So 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 kids.”
She continued, “I had asked him from just about the get-go for us to sit down down and to debate things and work it out together. In marriage, he was taking good care of the funds and the bills. He was making decisions, and there was not a whole lot of transparency. … That led to a whole lot of unlucky circumstances. I feel if one person is seeking to paint someone in a foul way, or create a false narrative, they’re going to do various things that they don’t work out for anyone,” she said. “I actually hope that we will eventually move away from that and into higher times.”
Us has reached out to Dorit for comment.
