Are Dorit and Paul Kemsley heading for divorce? Internet accuses ‘RHOBH’ couple of ‘stretching’ family feud for drama
BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: The prolonged speculation about 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' stars Dorit Kemsley and husband Paul "PK" Kemsley's divorce has raised eyebrows online, with many suggesting it's orchestrated for the show.
Internet users have accused them of seeking publicity, pointing out the suspicious timing of their marital issues aligning with Kyle Richards.
Along with it, the couple faces accusations of selling multiple stories simultaneously, contributing to the perception that their divorce news might be strategically entwined with their reality TV presence.
The online community didn't hold back in calling out Dorit and PK for their perceived behavior, expressing skepticism and criticism.
Users voiced their opinions, highlighting the couple's actions and questioning the authenticity of their publicized marital challenges.
"They’re probably doing what Kyle and Mauricio did. “Leak” a story so they can make a weird ambiguous denial. Then repeat it and confirm it and say they never denied it," said one user on Reddit.
"They gotta figure out a way to sell multiple stories of the same bs," mentioned one user.
"Oh she may be trying to stretch it to stay on the show. Geez. Let the mouse go," mentioned another user.
"The fact that Erika was right, Dorit should’ve milked that feud a little longer," wrote one.
"Girl needed a storyline I guess," wrote another.

Despite PK's immediate interest and invitation, Dorit initially declined.
In a 2015 interview with Wedding Style Magazine, Dorit revealed the turning point in her decision.
