Dorit Kemsley accused Mauricio Umansky of being a “soldier” for her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, after their sit-down on Thursday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
As Kyle Richards, 55, offered her two cents about the meeting and shared what Mau, 55, told her about PK, 58, and his efforts to see his two kids, 12-year-old Jagger and 9-year-old Phoenix, Dorit, 49, suggested Mau came into their meet-up with a “script” as she shaded PK for his performative legal moves amid their custody battle.
“I so wanted to give Mau the benefit of the doubt, but Mau came in as PK’s soldier. It was like PK gave him a script, and he was just coming out with things [that] didn’t even make sense,” Dorit recalled on the February 12 episode of the RHOBH: After Show. “I was like, ‘I need to get the f*ck out of here.’”
Looking back, Dorit said that she filed for sole legal and physical custody of her children because they were with her “99.9999% of the time,” and had been for “their whole life.” However, that didn’t mean that she didn’t want PK to be a present father.
“I want them to have a relationship with you, a real one, not the one that I am going overtime to put in their minds that they have. And I very much have given PK the opportunity in the last 18 months to show me that he really is a consistent and present and [an] emotionally, physically supportive father. We went to mediation for it,” she revealed.
According to Dorit, a judge informed her at mediation that PK wanted the children every other weekend, from Thursday to Sunday, but after she agreed, he failed to own up to his part.
“He had the kids that weekend, never mind Thursday, there was an excuse, so it ended up being Friday, until Sunday morning, not even Sunday, the day. And then the following Thursday, PK’s nowhere to be seen. Nowhere to be seen and then the following Thursday, two Thursdays after, PK’s still nowhere to be seen,” she explained.
Following PK’s no-shows, Dorit sent him a message, which read, “‘I don’t understand this. You took me to mediation.’”
“I kept saying, ‘Please, please, tell me what you want.’ No. He wanted to go through the whole process for whatever reason, to show, because he likes to story-tell,” she continued. “So he wanted to tell Kyle and Mau and everyone else, ‘I’m taking her to mediation to get the custody.’”
PK also told her, “You didn’t sign the paper that I want you to sign, so therefore the custody is null and void.”
Dorit went on to suggest that she wasn’t sure if PK truly wanted to be involved with the kids, slamming his behavior and calling out Mau for not taking better care of his friend.
“It just felt like this is the influence in PK’s life. This is what I’m dealing with,” Dorit shared. “I’m not dealing with people that truly are looking out for his best interest that can say, ‘Hey, PK, slow down here.’ I left that lunch feeling like, what a joke.”
In her own RHOBH: After Show segment, Kyle said that Dorit went into her meeting with Mau, realizing that he was PK’s friend and suspecting he was “not going to be open-minded.”
“I know Mau’s character; I know that he actually would’ve been. He could’ve gone back to PK and said, ‘Well, listen, she does have a point here.’ And he will, you know, talk straight with, you know, anyone he cares about. So, it’s unfortunate that it ended that way,” she stated.
As for what Mau told her about his communication with PK, Kyle said that while she didn’t hear specifics, they did discuss text messages.
“He never read them to me or anything. But I would say, ‘Well, Dorit said PK’s not making an effort.’ And he would say, ‘Well, I’ve seen these messages, and I’ve heard them on the phone, and he’s saying the complete opposite. I’ve heard him actually trying to get to see the kids.’ So, that’s why I thought, let Mau hear it out of Dorit’s mouth and PK’s mouth, and maybe he can piece this puzzle together and help somehow,” she concluded.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
