Dorit Defends the "Shrine" of Her and PK in Their House: "I Don't See It..."

   

When Dorit Kemsley invited the ladies over for a 4th of July barbecue on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14, Episode 12, Kyle Richards noticed that Dorit still had a "shrine" of photos with her estranged husband, Paul "PK" Kemsley, displayed on a table in front of her door.

Kyle, who is also estranged from her husband, Mauricio Umansky, poked fun at Dorit for keeping the pictures out amid her separation, but the mom of two explained why she really hasn't taken them down during the RHOBH After Show. 

"Until [Kyle] mentioned it, it wasn't even a thought," Dorit said while sitting next to castmate and bestie Bozoma Saint John. "I live in the house with my children, and for my children, it's business as usual."

As Dorit previously shared on the show, she and PK chose not to tell their children, Jagger and Phoenix Kemsley, about their separation right away. She also admitted that she doesn't often see the photos themselves. 

"You know, I usually come in through the garage, I don't come in through the front door, so I don't see it. You know what I mean? It's not in my face," she said, though she acknowledged that there are other pictures in the home that are much more noticeable to her. "Now, I do in my bedroom where I'm laying in bed, have a big giant blown up framed picture of PK and I. And from my bed, it's like I'm looking right at it, Boz. I'm looking right at it. And, recently, I was thinking, 'Why the hell is that there?'"

"Did you take it down?" Boz wondered.

"I haven't yet," she said. "But I did think about it."

Dorit feels more emotional when she sees the wedding photo in her bedroom than the table display of pictures from throughout their relationship.

"I mean, I've looked at it and I've felt really sad," Dorit said about the bedroom picture.

Kyle, who pointed out the display in the first place, had an opinion about Dorit's photos. 

"This was like when you go to a wedding and all the photos are there," Kyle, who admittedly still has photos of Mauricio hanging in her home, said on the RHOBH After Show. "It looks like they had their wedding photoshoot, their engagement photoshoot — where's the guestbook? Do I sign? It was very interesting considering how she just seems so done with PK."

Kyle understands Dorit's hesitation to take down the pictures. "I still have family photos up and photos of Mau and me together," she added. "I, just last week, took the ones down next to my bed. I left the family ones up and put the ones of Mau and me in the drawer... It was time."
