Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Dorit Kemsley and her estranged husband, PK Kemsley, have been separated since May 2024. During the Season 14 RHOBH reunion, PK sent a statement rather than appearing in person. And he took the opportunity to slam Dorit for comments she made about him. Now Dorit is spilling the tea about an ultimatum that PK gave her early in their relationship.
PK Kemsley wanted RHOBH’s Dorit Kemsley to choose the relationship or her career

Dorit finally pulled the trigger and filed for divorce on April 25, 2025. She requested sole physical and legal custody of their two children, Jagger and Phoenix, as well as spousal support. However, the couple is also facing financial problems and could be losing their home in Encino. This divorce is shaping up to be a messy one, especially since it was PK kissing another woman who seems to have set this divorce in motion.
Recently, Dorit opened up about an ultimatum that PK gave her early in their relationship. “So, I didn’t put my career on hiatus to be a stay-at-home mother and wife. It was a choice that I made based on an uncomfortable conversation,” Dorit told Rollacoaster. “It was the first fight that PK and I had. I had my own business. I had my factories in Italy and in Hong Kong, so I had to travel and was selling all over the world.”
She continued, “I looked after him and I was his right-hand person and confidant and advisor, so it was a decision that I had made. It was either this relationship or this career.”
Dorit stated, “And at first, when he had said, you know, “One of us needs to give it up, and I think it should be you,” I had a really, really strong reaction.” PK and Dorit had been dating for nearly a year when this topic came up.
She added, “My heart, my everything, felt like this was my future. PK was the choice for me, and to build a life with him. If given the chance, I would make the same choice.” Of course, their two wonderful children were the result of this match, but it never felt like PK was supportive of Dorit’s career during her time on RHOBH.
