The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, Dorit Kemsley, is facing the challenging task of deciding how to communicate her split from her husband, PK, to their children. In May, they announced their separation, and it has been a topic of discussion on the new season of RHOBH.

Why Dorit Hasn't Told the Kids Yet

Dorit, 48, and PK's separation was amicable, and they decided to take some time apart and work through their issues in therapy. She felt that it was not the right time to involve the kids, Jagger, 10, and Phoenix, 8, in their marital problems. She explained, "PK and I separated under the guise that we were going to take some time apart — but it was very amicable — and we were going to work through our issues in therapy. So, for me to have told the kids, taken them on this journey … [maybe] if they were different kids, if it was a different situation." She believes that once they have more answers, it will be easier to bring the kids into the situation.After their separation, PK moved out of their shared Beverly Hills home, and Dorit told the kids that their dad was away on business. She said, "It’s always that Daddy’s working. Even when we hadn’t had a fight, PK was traveling for work … it was obviously a very good excuse when we had a fight because that’s what he was doing all the time."

When and How Dorit Will Tell the Kids

According to Dorit, she is open and willing to talk to the kids if they start asking questions about their marriage. She said, "They are 8 and 10, so if they start asking me questions, I’m not going to lie to them and I’m not going to make something up. I will answer their questions and judging by the types of questions they’re asking and the information they want to know… That’s how I would introduce them to the situation."

Dorit's Allegations Against PK

During the RHOBH season 14 premiere earlier this month, Dorit opened up about her split from PK and told Erika Jayne that PK was a "full-blown alcoholic." She said that PK "was pouring alcohol on his" problems within their marriage and that it got very toxic. However, she explained that there was no catastrophic event that caused the separation. She recalled, "A week ago, there was a moment, and it was over nothing, and one thing led to another. We sat down like two very mature adults, who love and care about one another and mutually decided that taking some space and separating is the best thing for us."
