Dorit Kemsley believes that Paul “PK” Kemsley was being “calculated” when he stepped out for a steamy makeout session with model Shana Wall in April amid their separation.

Weeks after images of PK, 57, and Shana, 50, kissing in Los Angeles were shared online, the 48-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, who filed for divorce the following day, is said to have found her voice as she reportedly prepares for a potential divorce battle with PK.

“Dorit has nothing against Shana. She doesn’t [even] know her. But she does think PK did it deliberately,” a source told Life & Style on May 8. “Dorit’s seen the photos, and she’s calling it out for what it is — a calculated move.”

“Dorit has finally found her voice and she isn’t backing down. She’s ready to go to battle if that’s what PK wants,” the insider added.

Before Dorit officially requested spousal support and full legal and physical custody of their son Jagger, 11, and daughter Phoenix, 9, she opened up about how she was forced to abandon her career to start a family with PK.

“It was the first fight that PK and I had,” she admitted to Rollacoaster Magazine last month. “PK and I were very co-dependent. I had my own business, I had my factories in Italy and in Hong Kong, so I had to travel and was selling all over the world. I was also looking to grow it bigger and bigger. PK and I were not the type of people to be independent.”

In addition to growing her own career, Dorit said she was also “very involved” in PK’s career.

“I looked after him, and I was his right-hand person and confidant, and advisor, so it was a decision I had made. It was either this relationship or this career,” she explained.

Although Dorit was initially upset by the ultimatum, she was convinced that PK was “[her] future.”

“And at first, when he had said, you know, ‘One of us needs to give it up and I think it should be you.’ I had a really, really strong reaction. I remember I stormed out and I went to go meet a girlfriend,” she admitted. “We had only been together for about a year, but it was different … with PK, after three months, I felt like I’d known him my whole life. There was just something very different. It felt like two pieces of a puzzle that fit.”

“It wasn’t an easy decision, but ultimately, when you are faced with challenging decisions, you have to really think about what is in your best interest. PK was the choice for me, and to build a life with him. If given the chance, I would make the same choice,” Dorit added.

No word yet on when The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will begin filming season 15.
