Dorit Kemsley Still Loves Husband P.K., But Is Uncertain About Reconciliation
Dorit Kemsley faced a challenging season while navigating her publicly tumultuous separation from P.K. Kemsley. During her update about their relationship, Kemsley confessed that she still has feelings for P.K. but believes there’s “less and less of a chance” for a reconciliation.
She expressed that she has no regrets about keeping her estrangement from her children and reiterated that she does not want to get back together with P.K. in the current situation.
“He’s my soul, he’s my blood, he’s my heart, and I hate that because it makes it so much harder. But I also know I need peace,” Kemsley stated.

P.K. Kemsley Opted Out of the Reunion but Released a Statement
Even though Dorit Kemsley’s estranged husband, P.K. Kemsley, chose not to attend the reunion, he did release a statement addressing Kemsley’s remarks about him being a bad father during the season.
In his statement, he said: “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. 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. It is deeply hurtful to me and more importantly, to our children, who, despite Dorit’s assertion, will inevitably see and hear all of this at a time not of our choosing. Those closest to us know the truth. Many have wanted to speak, but I have asked them not because the truth should never need a champion. I refused to stoke a fire I did not ignite. 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”
During “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show,” Kemsley clarified that she indeed thinks he is a good father.
At the reunion, Kemsley expressed her openness to P.K. joining the show and noted his enjoyment of the attention from it. For now, Kemsley has decided to maintain a relationship with P.K. solely for co-parenting purposes.

Erika Jayne Expresses Desire for Garcelle Beauvais to Be “More Interesting”
Although Garcelle Beauvais has shared details about her life as a mother, actress, and producer, her co-stars believe that she could offer more insights into her personal life, particularly regarding her dating experiences. At one point, Erika Jayne — who previously called Beauvais out for prying into her and Kyle Richards’ private lives in past seasons — stated that she wishes Beauvais would be “more interesting.”
“Well, that’s a s–y thing to say, Erika,” Beauvais replied.

Kyle Richards Labels Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke “Mean Girls”
While Kyle Richards defended her choice not to delve into the specifics of her relationship with country singer Morgan Wade, Garcelle Beauvais queried why Richards had previously discussed Wade with her off-camera, to which Richards responded, “Because I thought that you’re my friend.” Afterward, Beauvais urged Stracke to reiterate her reaction to Richards’ private comments once Richards had stepped away.
Stracke initially remarked, “I think that Kyle wants to protect Morgan.” However, Beauvais corrected her, asserting that was not what she said and clarified that Stracke described Richards’ comments as a “chess move.”
Gasps and shock swept through the other housewives, and after a brief pause, Richards exclaimed: “The thing is, with both of you, together, you’re mean girls. Mean girls—it’s shocking to hear that from you, Sutton.”
Beauvais countered that her comments were met with laughter from the group and believed it had been perceived as a joke, stating she wants Richards to lead her life as she pleases.

Garcelle Beauvais Continues to Believe Dorit Kemsley’s Home Invasion-Robbery Was a “Setup.”
In October 2021, Kemsley was robbed at gunpoint in her own home while her children were present. At that time, P.K. was in London on business. The aftermath of the robbery became a topic during Seasons 12 and 13. During the Season 13 reunion, Beauvais hinted that the robbery was suspicious, pointing to how Kemsley’s jewelry was placed and how the robbers allowed her to keep her cell phone. In Season 14, Beauvais reiterated that she does not believe Kemsley was “in on” the robbery.
However, during the Season 14 reunion, Beauvais remained steadfast in her belief that the entire incident was staged, admitting she lacks substantial evidence for her theory. When Kemsley confronted Beauvais for making light of such a serious matter without regard for its impact on her family, Beauvais offered an apology.
“Then I’m wrong,” Beauvais acknowledged. “I’m sorry if it hurts you; this is just how I feel.”
Bozoma Saint John interjected, labeling Beauvais’ comments as “dangerous,” “careless,” and “really, really terrible,” especially given the absence of supporting evidence.
The first part of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” Season 14 reunion will be available on Peacock this Tuesday.
