“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Dorit Kemsley’s husband PK was shut down by a judge in his attempt to block his wife from having her finances examined in court.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, a Los Angeles judge has denied Paul “PK” Kemsley’s motion, as part of the lawsuit brought by a man named Nicos Kirzis.
PK recently filed docs denying he owes the $1.2 million to Kirzis. He claims it was discharged in a 2011 UK bankruptcy. He pleaded with the judge to not make Dorit show up to court in the case.
A hearing was held on September 3 and the judge was not persuaded by PK. He denied his motion seeking for Dorit to not have to show up to court with her financial records.

The case revolves around $1.2 million Kirzis loaned to PK back in 2011.The battle over the money has been going on for over a year. Kirzis accuses Kemsley of not paying a dime for years.
Kirzis said Kemsley has made a payment of $250,000 but that only covered the interest that racked up for years, leaving a remaining balance still of $1,235,573.66.
Dorit was recently ordered to appear in court, as part of PK’s battle and bring her financial and bank records.

Kirzis recently went to court trying to seize moneyin a City National Bank Account under PK and Dorit’s name.
Dorit rushed to court demanding Kirzis not be allowed to seize the $29,634.10 in the account. She argued the account was her separate money and PK had not contributed to it. Kirzis accused Dorit of not providing any evidence to back up her claims.
A hearing has been set for later this month, where the judge will decide if the bank account can be seized or if Dorit will keep the funds. The money has been frozen and can’t be touched by Dorit until a judge makes a final decision.
The Blast also obtained a video last year of a woman screaming at Dorit while on vacationing with her “RHOBH” co-stars. The woman was friends with another man currently suing Dorit and PK over a bikini business. In the video you can hear the woman scream at Dorit to pay her friend and shouting “you cheap bitch!”
Despite the legal issues and alleged money owed, it didn’t stop Dorit from celebrating her 43rd birthday in luxury..
Dorit and PK were also hit with federal tax liens over an alleged $1 million dollars in back taxes. the IRS filed two federal tax liens over unpaid tax bills. The first was filed against Dorit and Paul "PK" Kemsley for unpaid 2015 taxes totaling $635,887.23.
The second lien was for PK solely and accuses him of failing to pay an additional $289,423.67 for the years 2014 and 2016. The grand total of the debt for both liens comes to $925,310.90.
Looks like Dorit will have more than enough material for next season, where she will be joined by two new housewives.
