Dorit is handling this split with grace and maturity, focusing on her own peace of mind while PK navigates his new relationship. She made it clear she's not threatened—she simply wants honest communication for the sake of their two children.
Sources say Dorit was blindsided when she saw photos of Tatiana—who allegedly looks remarkably similar to her—and that PK moving on so quickly with someone who could pass as a younger Dorit doppelganger has been salt in the wound during an already brutal divorce.
Dorit sent PK a text dated April 1 stating: 'I don't care that you have your girlfriend here. Haha she knows you have two children and an ex ex-wife.' PK responded describing Kharchylava as 'a grown-up your age' who is 'very successful worldly.' The pair announced separation in May 2024 after nine years of marriage.
The texts paint a picture of two people who've completely lost the script on co-parenting civility—and the fact that PK chose someone who looks like Dorit is a detail that won't escape anyone watching this unfold.
Well, well, well. The divorce war between Dorit Kemsley and Paul "PK" Kemsley just got a lot messier. Court documents obtained by Daily Mail have revealed the explosive text exchange between the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and her estranged husband over his new girlfriend—and let's just say, Dorit didn't come to play nice.
In a message dated April 1, Dorit laid into PK about his new relationship with creative executive Tatiana Kharchylava. "I don't care that you have your girlfriend here. Haha she knows you have two children and an ex ex-wife.
It's OK I'm sure she can handle you being an adult and speaking to me even when she's there," Dorit texted, according to the documents viewed by Page Six. She didn't stop there either. The reality star followed up with: "You have to start being able to live an honest life.
I thought you were finally ready to?" PK's response was notably calm in comparison—but that's where things get interesting. "She has zero issue [with speaking to Dorit] or with her knowing about their relationship," he reportedly said of Kharchylava, describing her as "a grown-up your age she has grown-up children." He continued: "She's a very successful worldly woman who, of course, respects and would like for open, honest relations." The irony of PK preaching about honesty while allegedly hiding his new romance from his soon-to-be ex-wife?
That's chef's kiss material right there. Here's where it gets even juicier: Kharchylava bears an eerie resemblance to Dorit herself. Sources who spoke with Page Six say the 49-year-old reality star was reportedly caught off guard when she saw photos of PK's new woman—who could easily pass as a younger, blonder version of herself.
The look-alike situation has added another layer of salt to what was already an acrimonious split. The timeline makes this even more explosive. Last month, it emerged that PK had moved on with Kharchylava—a romance that reportedly "started as friends, and things evolved" over time, according to a source close to the couple.
The pair were introduced through Boy George's talent manager, which is quite the crossover. However, given that PK lives in Los Angeles while Kharchylava resides in London, insiders say their relationship remains "casual." Meanwhile, Dorit filed for divorce from PK in April 2025—just hours after he was spotted locking lips with Shana Wall, a reality star from CBS's The Amazing Race. That timing alone tells you everything about how volatile this situation has become.
Despite hinting at a possible reconciliation last August when they were spotted reuniting for dinner at a Sherman Oaks restaurant, it's clear that bridge has been thoroughly burned now. Dorit previously addressed their split during the RHOBH Season 14 premiere, clarifying there was "no catastrophic event" and that "no one cheated on anyone." But with these new texts surfacing and PK's look-alike girlfriend in the mix, this divorce drama is far from over—and neither party seems willing to go quietly into the night.
