The divorce drama between Dorit Kemsley and Paul Kemsley just took another messy turn and now their children are allegedly caught in the middle.
According to new court documents obtained by TMZ, PK claims the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star used one of their children to pressure him into paying for a luxury spring break vacation while the couple continues battling over money and their marital home.
In the filing, PK accused Dorit Kemsley of involving their children in their “financial disputes” and submitted alleged text messages between himself and one of their kids as evidence in court.
“While I was attempting to address financial issues with Dorit, she enlisted our child to send text messages to me requesting money for Dorit’s personal expenses, including a trip she wanted to take with the children,” PK reportedly claimed.
The alleged conversation quickly turned awkward.
“Daddy, do you want us to have a fun spring break?” the child allegedly texted PK.
PK responded, “Yes, puppy of course. But because I know you’re super smart before you try and outsmart your daddy, just bear in mind, the creator is always smarter than the creation.”
The child then allegedly replied, “Yeah, that really helps with the fun spring break.”
At another point in the conversation, PK asked why the child brought up the vacation request.
“Why did you ask me if you want to have a good spring break a fun one?” he wrote.
The child allegedly answered, “Forget it.”
But PK pushed further, replying, “No I don’t want too … tell me.”
That is when the conversation reportedly became even more uncomfortable.
“Why can’t you just book us a holiday? Mommy pays for everything?” the child allegedly asked.
PK then replied, “How do you know who pays for everything my love?”
The child answered, “Can you just pay and book us a flight?”
“Lol I don’t know where you want to go, so I wouldn’t know what to book … it is 10:30, you need to go to sleep,” PK allegedly wrote before the conversation ended with, “Ok, goodnight.”
PK is now using the messages in court as part of his argument that Dorit has continued spending heavily on luxury expenses while allegedly neglecting major financial obligations tied to their home.
According to the filing, PK claims the couple’s marital home is dangerously close to foreclosure and is asking the court for permission to immediately put the property on the market.
The former couple’s split has already become one of the most talked about RHOBH breakups in recent years, but these latest allegations are adding even more tension to an already ugly legal battle.
Neither Dorit nor her team has publicly responded to the claims at this time.
Do you think kids should ever be involved in divorce and money disputes, or is PK taking things too far by exposing the texts publicly?
