Shortly after Dorit Kemsley met real estate developer Paul “PK” Kemsley in 2011, their romance began to blossom, but their journey hit roadblocks over the years. “Well, we met and we hadn’t really had our first official date in a few months,” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star said in September (…)
“Because there’s no doubt that before we did (the show)…if you talk about happy times, I remember living in Tribeca and we had a beautiful apartment and then we had kids and life was great,” he continued.
PK said it was his idea to let Dorit continue Roba After the couple moved to Los Angeles. Looking back, he said: “Who drove the bus into the wall? Me.” (Dorit and PK join the cast Season 7 aired from December 2016 to April 2017. )
He explained, “The show likes to look back and only talk about the bad things. They build up who you are as a person, as a couple, and then you start repeating it, you start believing it, and suddenly you find yourself[saying]’What are you talking about? I’m nothing like that person. I’m nothing like the person they’re showing me.'” I looked at my wife and said, ‘Who are you?’ When you see it, it’s scary. “
Elsewhere in the interview, PK said he didn’t “want that period of my life to define me.”
“That show… it’s not my life,” he said.
“This is a TV show that shows slices of my life based on the premise of the show,” he went on to claim. “They cut it, edited it, and allowed storylines to go forward that even the producers knew weren’t true, because that’s what’s great about this show.”
PK said that for the sake of his children, he chose not to respond to Dorit’s claims about their separation and divorce on the show. (In Season 14, Dorit claimed her ex was a “A complete drunkard” He denied this at the time. In Season 15, currently airing, Dorit claims PK “Don’t give me money” And she was paying all of their family’s household bills. )
“I’ve made it very clear that I don’t want to have a public divorce proceeding. I don’t think it’s in the best interest of the children,” PK said in an interview on Tuesday.
Being a Real Housewife isn’t all diamonds and rosé — just ask the brave souls who have faced legal troubles in the spotlight. While some franchises are airing lawsuits, including The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Theresa and Joe Giudice’s fraud case, The Real Housewives of New York City’s Sonja Morgan’s bankruptcy filing (…)
“I’m not going to come out and say, ‘That’s not true. That’s not true.'” How about, none of this is true? The only real victims are going to be the children, so I’m going to do whatever I can to protect them,” he continued.
Although PK did not specify how he disagreed with his portrayal Robahe hinted that he felt some of Dorit’s actions on television were not in her best interests.
“I know I’m not immune to criticism, but I had no control over the last two years, and I would not encourage that, and I would strongly advise — in whatever capacity, as a manager, as a businessman, as a father and as a husband — that if anyone would listen to me, I would say, ‘This is the wrong thing to do,'” he said.
