“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Dorit Kemsley may well have tried to leave her troubles behind when she jetted off on a lavish European vacation—but it seems her estranged husband, PK Kemsley, is determined to ensure she can’t forget about them.
Dorit, 50, and PK, 58, are in the midst of a contentious divorce that has been further exacerbated by significant financial struggles, including the looming threat of foreclosure on their $8 million Los Angeles home.
However, those battles did not stop the “Real Housewives” star from traveling to Paris for an extended vacation, during which she celebrated her 50th birthday in true style, enjoying a lavish lunch alongside Hermès executive Michael Coste.
Coste shared a photo of the pair on Instagram, captioning the snap, “Celebrating @doritkemsley the best way possible.”
The TV star commented, “Afternoons like this are the best. Pure joy. Thank you for such a special afternoon and for making me laugh until it hurt. Love you!”
However, Dorit’s European getaway appears to have infuriated her estranged spouse, who filed legal documents on July 13 in which he slammed his former partner for taking the trip while they are still going through a “financial crisis.”
He accused the reality star of leaving their children, Jagger, 12, and Phoenix, 10, with her parents in Florida—while providing no information about when she plans to return to the U.S., while he has been left to fight for their home alone.
PK alleged that Dorit has already been gone for a “minimum of three weeks,” per court documents seen by the New York Post, stating that her “extended trip” demonstrates her “prioritization of personal travel over addressing the urgent financial crisis facing [their] family home.”
According to TMZ, PK has requested that a judge award him sole ownership and authority to sell their six-bedroom, 10-bathroom Los Angeles abode.
The home has come close to hitting the foreclosure auction block on several occasions in recent months. However, each planned sale has been postponed, according to reports—although PK’s legal team noted in their filing that the risk of their losing the dwelling has “escalated” significantly.
He further claimed in the filing that he stopped the property from falling into foreclosure after splashing out $300,000.
PK alleged that Dorit has not made any mortgage payments, despite raking in a substantial income from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and spending what he estimates to be $1 million on luxury getaways and designer clothing.
PK is arguing that she has put her travel plans ahead of the family’s financial troubles, requesting that the court allow him to move forward with selling the property.
Dorit filed for divorce from PK in 2025 after 10 years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
At the time, she asked the judge to award her sole custody of theirs, in addition to spousal support.
The filing came just one day after PK was photographed sharing a kiss with Shana Wall.
One month after Dorit filed for divorce, PK requested joint custody of their children, while also waiving his right to spousal support and asking the court to do the same for his estranged wife’s plea.
They announced their separation in May 2024 in a joint statement: “We have had our struggles over the last few years and continue to work through them as two people who love each other and share two amazing children together. We have made the mutual and difficult decision to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while we prioritize our children.”
Dorit and PK purchased their sprawling Encino abode for $6.48 million in 2019, according to records, and have since made several attempts to sell it, beginning in September 2020, when they listed the property for $9.5 million.
They reduced their asking price to $7.99 million a few weeks later, before whipping the home off the market altogether.
It was relisted for the same price in April 2021, but once again vanished from the market within a matter of weeks.
The couple have made substantial upgrades to the home since buying it—and have also proudly showcased the property in numerous episodes of their hit Bravo show.
