It seems like PK Kemsley can’t catch a break lately. Amidst his very public and messy divorce from Dorit Kemsley, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills personality has found himself in the middle of another unfortunate situation: a minor car accident.
The Incident: Range Rover Meets Neighbor’s SUV
Reports surfaced this week about PK backing his brand-new Range Rover into a neighbor’s Toyota RAV4 right outside his Encino home. Video footage circulating online appeared to show some damage to PK’s luxury vehicle, though the extent of the damage to the Toyota, which reportedly belonged to a caregiver, wasn’t immediately clear.
Adding a bit of drama, PK reportedly drove off after the collision. However, he later addressed the incident with TMZ, explaining that it was an accident and he genuinely believed his new car’s automatic braking system would prevent such a mishap.
PK’s Explanation and Apology
“I genuinely thought the new Range Rover had automatically braked for me,” PK told TMZ. He admitted that he only noticed a “world’s tiniest mark” on his car upon returning home, which is when he realized he had “very gently nudged the neighbor’s bumper.”
True to his word, PK stated that he apologized to his neighbor and offered to cover any damages. “Entirely my fault,” the British reality star confessed, even adding a touch of humor by joking about the distractions of searching for paparazzi while reversing. It seems Land Rover might not recommend that driving technique!
Adding to Existing Divorce Woes
This fender-bender comes at a particularly challenging time for PK. The incident adds to the ongoing drama surrounding his divorce from Dorit. Recent court filings revealed that Dorit accused PK of halting payments for their $6 million home, including utilities and the mortgage.
Dorit’s legal team reportedly claimed this financial strain has left her and their children in a “constant state of uncertainty.” While sources close to PK have disputed some of these allegations, it’s clear the couple is navigating a very difficult and public separation.
