Dorit Kemsley is pushing back against her estranged husband PK Kemsley’s claims that her spending habits contributed to their financial troubles — and a new Hermès detail has RHOBHfans debating the couple’s messy divorce all over again.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star filed new court documents denying allegations that she spent nearly $1 million on designer clothing and luxury expenses while mortgage payments on their Los Angeles home went unpaid.
Instead, Dorit’s legal team argues PK failed to uphold an alleged agreement to cover the mortgage and other household expenses after moving out of their marital home. Her attorneys claim the financial dispute is not the result of necessity, but rather PK’s own choices.
According to documents obtained by PEOPLE and TMZ, Dorit says she only learned the mortgage was not being paid after foreclosure notices arrived. She is asking the court to deny PK’s request to sell the home, arguing the move could create unnecessary instability for their family.
PK has previously accused Dorit of excessive spending on fashion and travel, including nearly $1 million in luxury expenses. Dorit’s attorneys dispute those claims and instead point to PK’s reported spending, alleging he spent $756,000 over several months, including $360,000 on travel, $55,000 on clothing from luxury retailers like Hermès, $75,000 on dining, $160,000 in Venmo and Zelle payments, and $103,000 in cash withdrawals.
Dorit is asking the court to require PK to use his available funds to bring the mortgage current so she and their children do not have to move.
Bravo fans remain divided over the allegations, with some defending Dorit’s side of the story. “If he’s not paying child support then her version is true. It makes sense he would agree to pay the bills instead,” one commenter wrote on X.
Others pushed back against Dorit’s claims, arguing PK’s version of events paints a different picture. “Bulls—t, read the email his attorney sent to the court,” one person wrote, accusing Dorit of avoiding efforts to resolve the home situation.
Amid the back-and-forth, many fans shared a similar concern: the impact the divorce battle could have on the couple’s children. “These rich-people divorce battles never get any less messy… kids stuck in the middle while Hermes bags and mortgage notices pile up is just sad,” one commenter wrote.
