The highly anticipated sit-down between Dorit Kemsley and Mauricio Umansky on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is finally here — and it was actually quite awkward.
The Thursday, February 12, episode showed the duo having dinner to discuss Dorit’s ongoing issues with her estranged husband, PK Kemsley, and how Mauricio could help. Most of their discussion surrounded a possible “schedule” with the kids. Dorit claimed she was not “restricting” PK from seeing the kids, but Mauricio seemed to have heard otherwise.
“I want him to be involved. I need him to be involved,” she said. “But he has to show up clearheaded.”
Dorit claimed during Thursday’s episode that PK has “started drinking again” as well.
“He’s not drinking every day. He’s not overdrinking,” Mauricio said, defending his friend. “I go to dinner with him. He’s ordering a glass of wine, maybe two. We’re not sitting there pounding it. That’s not what he’s doing.”
Dorit responded, “He didn’t stop drinking for a year because [it was] just for a casual thing. He stopped drinking because he needed to stop drinking.”
Dorit shared alleged details about PK’s drinking habits during RHOBH season 14. She claimed PK was a “full-blown alcoholic” during the November 2024 premiere, which he has since denied.
“I’ve spent months trying to get PK to talk to me. I don’t know what his intentions are,” Dorit, 49, claimed during her confessional. “I don’t know where his head is, and right now I feel like I’m in limbo and I don’t have control over what happens next. I know I need to do something about it.”
Dorit further explained to viewers that the “biggest issue” with PK is his alleged failure to communicate with her.
“I’m really hoping that Mau can help,” she continued in her confessional. “Maybe as one of PK’s closest friends, Mau will nudge him in the right direction so we can get on the same page, because that’s what’s best for the kids.”
Dorit and PK announced their separation in May 2024 after nine years of marriage. She filed for divorce in April 2025. The former couple share son Jagger and daughter Phoenix.
During the sit-down that aired on Thursday, Mauricio made it clear that he wasn’t there “to take a side” and only wanted to offer guidance.
“He’s never once texted me to see the kids,” Dorit claimed. Mauricio responded, “He’s given me his phone and I’ve scrolled up and down the entire thing and seen your replies, his replies, the conversations about the kids.”
Dorit claimed it was an “isolated” conversation, claiming that PK was making things “one-sided,” but Mauricio disagreed. In her confessional, Dorit alleged that PK was most likely omitting the context of the conversations.
“If you want to help, Mau, then go to your friend and say to him, ‘PK, what’s the matter with you? She’s tried to sit down and speak to you,’” she said. “Tell him, ‘You’ve got to think about your kids.’ I am on his side. I am not his enemy.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET and streams the next day on Peacock.
