'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Dorit Kemsley currently lives in her Encino mansion after relocating from Beverly Hills. However, the Bravo star and her estranged husband, Paul Kemsley's legal trouble recently doubled down after their $7.5m Los Angeles mansion landed in pre-foreclosure.

According to the court documents obtained by The Sun, the Kemsleys missed four or more missed payments on their 7,100-square-foot Encino, CA estate. The former couple received a court notice on October 24 as the lender initiated the foreclosure process. However, the duo still have time to save their home by immediately repaying the amount. The foreclosure notice came shortly after the former couple announced their split and reports of unpaid taxes. However, Dorit notably settled the 2015 IRS tax lien of $635,887 for herself and PK. She still, however, owes taxes from 2017 and 2018. The Bravo show star notably still has to pay $986,887 in taxes.
