isa Vanderpump said she’d like to talk to PK Kemsley years after their friendship became fractured.
In April 2025, the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star spoke out on Bravo’s “Hot Mic” podcast and was asked about her friendship with the estranged husband of Dorit Kemsley. Vanderpump revealed she has not been in touch with the British businessman since her exit from RHOBH in 2019.
“There will always be room in my heart for PK; he was my friend,” Vanderpump told host Alex Baskin. “Not a great friend, not a very close friend, but we were in the same circle in Europe. So, yeah. I would definitely like to have a conversation with him … I think he’s a great guy. So, yeah, I would enjoy reconnecting with him at some point.”

In May 2024, the Kemsleys announced they had separated after 9 years of marriage. Nearly one year later, no love is lost between Vanderpump and PK’s ex. Vanderpump told Baskin that she had not kept in touch with Dorit and only “knew her more” because of PK.
Vanderpump has been on the outs with Dorit ever since the infamous RHOBH “Puppygate” scandal occurred five years ago. The SUR owner cut ties with Dorit after she accused her of leaking tabloid stories about the return of the Kemsleys dog to a shelter.
After Vanderpump swore on her children’s lives that she had nothing to do with leaking the negative story, only PK came to her defense. “I thought, ‘Wow. That’s him, as a husband, standing up to his wife, in my defense,’” Vanderpump told Baskin “And I thought, ‘That meant a lot to me.’”
According to People, in one RHOBH episode, Vanderpump’s husband Ken Todd told Dorit, “You’re no friend of mine,” then added, “PK, I’d like to stay friends with you, but after that? No way.”

Vanderpump was a guest on an episode of “Watch What Happens Live” shortly after the Kemsleys announced their split. At the time, a fan asked her about her reaction to the news or if she’d been in touch with either of them.
“I wasn’t [surprised],” she said. “I haven’t watched the show, contrary to what many of the cast members say. But I do have a mutual friend and, well, I have a few mutual friends actually with PK, and I kind of heard from the hotel that he was staying in for many months that they’d been separated for quite a long time, on and off, backwards and forwards.”
“So no, it didn’t surprise me, but as always, whatever my feelings are, I think it’s sad when they’ve got children involved and I hope they work it out, I really do,” she added.
Nearly a year later, Vanderpump said on “Hot Mic” that she “knew that for a long time [PK] was living in a hotel” but knew no other details about the Kemsleys’ separation.
