Erika Jayne is supporting her The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costar Dorit Kemsley after she filed for divorce from her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley.
“I literally just found out online like everyone else, maybe an hour ago, and, obviously, I reached out to her,” Erika, 53, exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, April 25, at the opening of The Tryst Puerto Vallarta in Mexico. “She’s got more important things to do than to talk to me right now.”
Us confirmed several hours earlier that Dorit, 48, filed for divorce from PK, 57, after 10 years of marriage. They had separated in 2024, but still coparented son Jagger, 11, and daughter Phoenix, 9. In her petition, Dorit cited “irreconcilable differences” as the cause for the split and asked for sole legal and physical custody of the kids, plus spousal support.
Neither Dorit nor PK has publicly addressed her divorce filing. Erika, meanwhile, admitted to Us that the separation was “a sad thing.”

“How does anybody feel when they hear that a family’s broken up? You feel badly,” Erika, who filed for divorce from husband Tom Girardi in 2020, told Us on Friday. “This is sad. It’s a sad thing.”
Dorit had repeatedly confided in Erika and the other RHOBH ladies about her and PK’s ongoing separation throughout season 14 of the Bravo series. During the reunion, Dorit revealed where she and PK currently stood.
“As of a week ago, I’ve chosen not to have much of a relationship with him,” Dorit told host Andy Cohen in an episode that aired earlier this month. “I said, ‘The way you’re making me feel in this moment, I don’t think I can have a relationship with you, even a friendship.’ That was less than a week ago, and I stand by it.”

According to Dorit, she is now focused on her children but has not yet dipped her toe back into the dating pool. PK, meanwhile, presumably moved on when he was spotted kissing The Amazing Race alum Shana Wall on Thursday, April 24, in Beverly Hills, but he hasn’t publicly addressed their relationship status. (Us reached out to PK and Wall’s reps for comment.)
As for Erika, she is focused on living her best life and told Us that she’s manifesting “money, success, men — plural — and a good time,” starting with her visit to The Tryst.
“The Tryst Hotel offers a really safe space for the LGBTQ+ community,” Erika gushed on Friday. “This is a fabulous gay hotel, and it’s important to show up for your friends and allies.”
