Paul “PK” Kemsley, the man at the center of many a hot topic in Season 14 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, declined an invitation to the emotionally charged reunion. However, he made sure his voice was still heard.

During Part 1 of the reunion, which aired on April 1, Dorit Kemsley didn’t shy away from any of Andy Cohen’s hardball questions when it came to her ongoing divorce. PK, however, decided not to participate in the conversation, which covered a multitude of items from his sobriety journey to rumored financial struggles.

Instead, he left audiences with a lengthy written statement.

“I was invited to be part of the Reunion, but declined because I don’t believe engaging with Dorit in this forum would be constructive,” read the statement. “Dorit has made several mischaracterizations about me, but the one I must address is the claim that I am a bad father. That statement is both heartbreaking and false. It is deeply hurtful to me and more importantly, to our children, who, despite Dorit’s assertion, will inevitably see and hear all of this at a time not of our choosing.”

“Those closest to us know the truth,” his statement continued. “Many have wanted to speak out, but I have asked them not to because the truth should never need a champion. I refused to stoke a fire I did not ignite. The Dorit I married would never have allowed this, much less caused it. That woman embodied kindness, integrity, and grace. I can only hope this version of Dorit finds her way back to the person she once was.”

For her part, Dorit said she “supported” PK coming to the reunion so the conversation about the split wouldn’t be so one-sided.

Dorit Kemsley reacts to PK Kemsley saying she’s “changed”
Andy pointed out that it wasn’t the first time PK claimed Dorit changed over their 9-year marriage. She agreed that “a point of contention” revolved around Dorit’s love of glam and fine things, but denied it was a “driving force” in the separation because, according to Dorit, he, too, enjoyed the spoils of opulence.

“Listen, if I haven’t changed in 14 years, then something’s wrong with me,” Dorit
