Dorit Kemsley filed for divorce from her estranged husband on Friday, and the drama started almost immediately.
The reality star, 48, filed her petition with the court the morning after photos of Paul ‘PK’ Kemsley, 57, making out with Amazing Race alum Shana Wall, were published.
Hours after that, the talent manager posted on Instagram ‘No one plays the victim better than the one who caused the damage,’ with the Culture Club song Victims playing beneath it.
The message was quickly deleted as PK apparently had second thoughts about the post.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the two deciding to go their separate ways.
She is asking for sole legal and physical custody of their son Jagger, 11, and daughter Phoenix, nine.
