Season 14 of the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” began with Dorit Kemsley revealing that she was separating from PK Kemsley after 9 years of marriage.
That remained a significant focus throughout the season, so it made sense why Bravo host Andy Cohen asked PK to attend the reunion that aired on April 2.
“We asked PK if he wanted to appear tonight,” Andy revealed.
“I know,” Kemsley responded.
“He sent a statement,” Cohen then revealed.
“Did he?” Dorit said in surprise.
Cohen then proceeded to read PK’s statement.
“I was invited to be part of the Reunion, but declined because I don’t believe engaging with Dorit in this forum would be constructive,” PK wrote.
“I refused to stoke a fire I did not ignite,” he added. “The Dorit I married would never have allowed this, much less caused it. That woman embodied kindness, integrity, and grace. I can only hope this version of Dorit finds her way back to the person she once was.”
PK Kemsley Disputes Dorit Kemsley’s Claims About His Ability as a Father
In his statement at the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” reunion, PK also disputed the claims Kemsley made during the season about his ability as a father.
In season 14, episode 10, Kathy Hilton asked Kemsley if Pk was a good father to their children Jagger, 10, and Phoenix, 8. Kemsley responded saying no.
She has since retracted her statement and even said she regretted saying that, but the damage was done.
“Dorit has made several mischaracterizations about me, but the one I must address is the claim that I am a bad father. That statement is both heartbreaking and false,” PK wrote. “It is deeply hurtful to me and more importantly, to our children, who despite Dorit’s assertion, will inevitably see and hear all this at a time not of our choosing.”
Bozoma ‘Boz’ Saint John Has Been By Dorit Kemsley’s Side
During the March 18 episode of the “Bravo Hot Mic” podcast, Bozoma “Boz” Saint John opened up about her friendship with Dorit Kemsley and how she has been supporting her throughout her separation.
Specifically, she explained how she came in with an unbiased view of things.
“I don’t have any bias about what her relationship is or was with PK,” Saint John said during the interview. “I’m not going to pretend that I know PK, that he was a horrible husband or a horrible father, I don’t know anything about that. What I know is what she is telling me about what’s happening right now. And that way I can advise her on what is happening right now.”
Saint John and Kemsley became fast friends, and their relationship has become a highlight of the drama-filled Season 14.
