Dorit Kemsley's Husband PK Pushes Back After She Claims He's A 'Full-Blown Alcoholic'

Dorit Kemsley's estranged husband, PK Kemsley, is pushing back after his wife branded him "a full-blown alcoholic" during a recent episode of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

The couple is currently separated — having announced their split in May of 2024 — and the 48-year-old reality star noted on "RHOBH" that her separation from PK stemmed partly from his drinking.

Dorit and Paul "PK" Kemsley have two children — 8-year-old daughter, Phoenix, and son, Jagger, 10.

Dorit Kemsley Called PK 'A Full-Blown Alcoholic'

PK appeared on an episode of Bravo's "Hot Mic Podcast" that aired on Dec. 24, and he admitted that his drinking was an aspect of the couple's breakup, but that it was only "a component" of their separation.

"My alcoholism had an element of responsibility in, in relation to the breakdown of our marriage," he said. "But that was just a, a component, right? And the truth is, if you understand the disease, alcoholism is a symptom. It's not a cause, so the reality is, is you have to get to what the cause was underneath. So, it's just not as simple as to say he was 'a fully-blown alcoholic' that's why we're separated."

According to Page Six, he also questioned Dorit's "lack of understanding about sobriety" and accused his estranged wife of not working the program as he has. "I’m in full-blown recovery. That’s the term ‘full-blown’ that should be used.”

PK Says He's Almost One Year Sober

PK noted during the podcast that he's been sober for nearly one year, and he was "shocked" to hear his wife describe him as "a full-blown alcoholic."

"I was shocked, disappointed and upset at what Dorit had to say," he said. "I mean, first of all, you know, I'm really proud and public about my sobriety. And I'm 12 months [sober] in two weeks."

"I think sobriety enables me to breathe," he added. "My public sharing of my sobriety was about recovery. It was to inspire other people... it doesn't matter how dark it gets, you can recover. You can't do it on your own. You need people it's a very emotional, tough journey. The toughest one I've really taken."
