In episode 10 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 which was released on February 5, Erika Jayne gave Dorit Kemsley some blunt advice about her separation. Erika drew from her own experience with a messy divorce to encourage Dorit to take action. Erika expressed her concern for Dorit's well-being during a dinner with Bozoma Saint John and Kathy Hilton.
Erika told Dorit that she needed to protect herself and view PK as an adversary rather than a partner.
"You’ve begged for honesty, and I’m gonna give it to you. You have to protect yourself. You have to go, ‘Hold on a second. The price of poker has completely changed. This is not my partner. This is not my friend. This is my adversary now,'” Erika stated.

Dorit seemed determined, stating in her confessional that she was ready to fight for herself if necessary. She felt that once she reached a certain point, there would be no turning back.

In a confessional on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Dorit shared more about PK's parenting.
"There are times that I think PK's the greatest father in the world. But is he the most hands-on father? The truth is, no," Dorit stated.
