“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Dorit Kemsley’s bank account has been frozen by one of her husband's creditors.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, a Los Angeles judge has ordered that Dorit and her husband's, Paul "PK" Kemsley, bank account will be frozen until a court hearing in September. Neither can touch the account until a final decision is made.
A creditor has been trying seize the funds in a City National Bank account that Dorit has with her husband.
The legal battle is centered on PK owing $1.2 million to a man named Nicos Kirzis who loaned the reality star money back in 2011. He accuses Kemsley of not paying a dime for years and the reality star even tried to wipe the debt clean in a bankruptcy.
Kirzis said Kemsley recently made a payment of $250,000 but that only covered the interest that racked up for years, leaving a remaining balance still of $1,235,573.66.
The creditor recently went to court saying he tried to garnish a City National Bank Account under PK and Dorit’s name. Dorit rushed to court demanding Kirzis not be allowed to seize the $29,634.10 in the account. She argued the account was her separate money and PK had not contributed to it.
Kirzis accused Dorit of not providing any evidence to back up her claims.
A hearing has been set for September, where the judge will decide if the bank account can be seized or if Dorit will keep the funds. The money can’t be touched until a judge makes a final decision.
Dorit has also been ordered to appear in court with her bank statements and financial records, along with information about her sources of income. She will have to let the court know of assets and property jointly owned with PK.
PK did score a victory in a separate legal battle as a judge threw out a case (on a technicality) accusing him of owing $75,000 to a sports betting company.
PK also recently announced he is producing the biopic of his good friend Boy George.
The Blast also obtained a video last year of a woman screaming at Dorit while on vacation with her “RHOBH” co-stars. The woman was friends with another man currently suing Dorit and PK over a bikini business. In the video you can hear the woman scream at Dorit to pay her friend and shouting “you cheap bitch!”
