Dorit Kemsley didn’t hold back on Tuesday’s “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” premiere.

The reality star put her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, on blast as their separation played out in Season 14.

While speaking to Kathy Hilton about their “very, very toxic” dynamic, Dorit called PK a “full-blown alcoholic.”

Elsewhere in the episode, the Bravolebrity told Erika Jayne that she didn’t want her partner’s “toxic energy” around their small children — son Jagger, 10, and daughter Phoenix, 8.

“Over the years, [his drinking has] gotten progressively worse, and little fights will turn into blow-ups,” she claimed. “We would be in the gutter after a fight, screaming at one another.

“[There] was no catastrophic event. No one cheated on anyone,” Dorit, 48, clarified of their split.

She recalled, “A week ago, there was a moment and it was over nothing, and one thing led to another, and we sat down like two very mature adults who love and care about one another and mutually decided that taking some space … is the best thing.”

On Tuesday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,” Dorit gave viewers an update on where she and the businessman, 57, currently stand.

“Things are good. We are friendly, we are communicating and things are status quo,” she said, claiming that divorce “isn’t even a topic of conversation.”

The fashion designer added that their kids “don’t know [they] are separated.”

She and PK tied the knot in March 2015, making their separation public in May after nine years of marriage.

“We appreciate your love and support while we continue to do the work necessary throughout this journey,” they wrote in a joint statement at the time.

Dorit and PK have both since spoken about his sobriety, with him celebrating six months sans alcohol in June.

“On Father’s Day the greatest gift I can give my 5 kids is to remain sober,” he told his Instagram followers at the time. “Grateful and proud.”

“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” airs Tuesdays on Bravo at 8 p.m. ET.
