Early Life

After earning a degree in design, marketing, and communications from Quinnipiac University, Dorit traveled through Europe before settling in Italy. She spent ten years working for a global swimwear company, refining her fashion design expertise.
Career
Dorit’s entry into reality TV came through her friendship with Lisa Vanderpump, for whom she served as a personal designer. She joined the cast of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” at the start of Season 7 on December 6, 2016, and has been a mainstay on the show for multiple seasons. Her personal life, fashion ventures, and family challenges often make headlines on the series.
In fashion, Dorit launched Beverly Beach by Dorit, a swimwear and resort-wear line inspired by her time in Italy. She expanded her brand by collaborating with Nektaria to create a bridal collection. Her namesake company also produces Italian-inspired clothing, swimwear, and accessories.
Dorit has appeared on other TV programs, including a guest appearance with her husband Paul Kemsley on “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles” in 2019, and she is known for her philanthropic efforts, particularly involving children’s charities.
Personal Life
Dorit married real estate developer and talent manager Paul “PK” Kemsley in 2015 at the Rainbow Room in New York City. They have two children, Jagger and Phoenix, and shared a close relationship with singer Boy George, who served as godfather to their son.
In October 2021, Dorit and her children were victims of a home invasion in which nearly $1 million worth of belongings were stolen. This incident was featured on “RHOBH,” highlighting the support she received from her co-stars.
In May 2024, Dorit and PK announced their separation, and in April 2025, she officially filed for divorce, seeking sole custody of their children, spousal support, and attorney’s fees. Their split has been widely covered on the show.
Controversies

Dorit also faced a lawsuit from a former business partner claiming over $200,000 in investment for Beverly Beach, which she and PK denied. PK was arrested for DUI in November 2021 in Los Angeles.
