'I can tell you that what's been put out there is not entirely accurate,' Kemsley, 49, said in an interview with Us Weekly Thursday. 'However, now it's going to be more headlines, because I have to come back with what the reality is. It's just a snowball.'
Dorit's remarks came after the English businessman, 58, claimed in court documents reviewed last month by the Daily Mail that she had continued spending money on expensive items - even as the family home was on the brink of foreclosure.
Dorit, who is promoting a new book titled Unburdened, said it was 'not necessary' to continue auditing her spending habits, saying that she was entitled to spend the money she brought in.

'As far as his opinions on what I spent - whether it's $50,000, $1 million, $25 - it's money that I've earned,' the Bravo star said. 'I'm supporting our children.'
Dorit said that for years, she had asked her estranged spouse to provide clarity on the family finances, as 'he was making decisions, and there was not a lot of transparency.'

'I had asked him from pretty much the get-go for us to sit down and to discuss things and work it out together. In marriage, he was taking care of the finances and the bills.'

Other brands she spent significant funds on included 'Jenni Kayne, Hermès, Net-A-Porter, FWRD and Moda Operandi,' PK's legal team said in its filing.
PK alleges that Dorit had spent over $1million in her personal expenses which included high-end retail and wardrobe, travel, glam cost, and other lifestyle expenditures while also allocating only $339,000 to family related costs from October 2025 to January 2026 (Dorit is seen wearing a Prada co-ord in Las Vegas in November)
'Really, at the end of the day, none of it matters,' Dorit said. 'And there’s so much more good that can come from being able to be friends and effectively co–parent our children.
From October 30, 2025 through January 6 , 2026, PK's attorneys said in the filing, Dorit (pictured with a Louis Vuitton luggage in November) racked up charges at 'Louis Vuitton (totaling approximately $69,000), Chanel ($69,000), Hermes ($38,000) and Saint Honore ($22,000)'
PK's legal team cited Dorit's stint on Real Housewives, claiming that her spending habits are of a personal and not business nature, since Bravo does not require she outfit herself in designer clothing to appear on the series (the two are pictured in March 2023)
He said he's paid about 90 percent of the family's expenses in the court filing, and that Dorit declined his offer to move into his home to save money and stave off foreclosure.

Later on in the conversation PK is claimed to have queried: 'Why did you ask me if you want to have a good spring break a fun one?'
Meanwhile the divorce has been getting even uglier as text messages filed as exhibits revealed explosive fights about his new girlfriend, housing, and addiction (the former couple are seen April 2023)
In alleged text messages from the divorce proceeding files dated on April 1, 2026 Dorit wrote: 'I don’t care that you have your girlfriend here. Haha she knows you have two children and an ex ex-wife. It’s OK I'm sure she can handle you being an adult and speaking to me even when she’s there.
'You have to start being able to live an honest life. I thought you were finally ready to?'

PK has been dating London-based creative executive Tatiana Kharchylava (pictured in London back in October 2023) - who bears quite the resmblance to Dorit - casually over the last few months
'My goodwill towards you has officially run out. Please, don’t come to me again asking for sympathy, support or protection.'
Then days later Dorit allegedly sent several more messages according to court exhibits including one which read: 'The kids are aware of your relationship. I need you to be far more thoughtful in how you engage with them.
'When you and I communicate calmly, you’re capable of making sound decisions. That same care is often missing when it comes to the children, and the difference is not subtle.'
Other alleged text messages showed the former couple clashing over housing as it is claimed that Dorit told PK 'over my f***ing dead body' after his proposal that she .
The following day, there were alleged text messages filed in court sent on April 2, 2026 where Dorit called PK an 'addict' who 'doesn't know how to learn from their mistakes' (they are pictured December 2016)
Dorit filed for divorce from PK on April 25, 2025, telling the court they .'
PK told the last year that he and Dorit had been focused on 'navigating co-parenting' their two kids amid their split.
The filing came less than a year after the former couple issued a joint statement on Instagram declaring they were putting an end to their marriage after more than nine years.
'We have had our struggles over the last few years and continue to work through them as two people who love each other and share two amazing children together,' they said on the social media site.
The statement continued: 'We have made the mutual and difficult decision to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while we prioritize our children.'
