Camille Grammer Reacts To Kelsey’s Public Negativity Spree; Plus, Will She Remarry?

October 24, 2012 | By | 37 Replies Continue Reading

RHOBH’s Camille Grammer is one lady who does not have a good ex-husband. Kelsey Grammer has been bashing her in the media in the last year, storming out of interviews and telling people that he knew their marriage was doomed from the first day. Camille is reacting to this hate saying it hurts her, and also discusses why she thinks Kelsey is so negative, as well as if she plans to marry current boyfriend Dimitri!

Camille tells OK! Magazine that she was hurt to hear Kelsey express himself so negatively about their marriage, because she felt that they were in love yet now he is telling the media otherwise. Camille says, “He went on this negativity tour 2012 recently, over the last few months, and it hurts you know. I thought.. you know all marriages have their ups and downs and I loved my ex very much and I thought we were in a good marriage. I mean, who knew? So when he went on Oprah and said that it was over from… as soon as it started.. that hurt a lot because I believe in my heart that he loved me very much.”

Camille has no idea what is driving Kelsey to act like such a douchebag saying, “I don’t know. Maybe there’s unresolved angst and he needs to work it out.”

As for Kelsey’s new child with his mistress-turned-wife Kayte, Camille is very open to letting the baby’s half siblings visit with her! “My daughter and my son were excited to know that Kayte was having a baby. When the baby came Kelsey text somebody to ask me if the kids could go and meet Faith and I said absolutely. It is what it is. My kids are very sweet. They’re good kids,” shares Camille.

Luckily for Camille she has a great man by her side these days! She has been dating Dimitri Charalambopoulos and she is head over heels for him! Does that mean Camille will be headed down the aisle again soon? Camille reveals, “He’s totally hot and his body rocks but his soul is great. He’s just a sweet person. He is a good guy and a great companion. But am I ready to get married? Because everyone keeps asking are you going to get married again? Not yet! I was married for 13 years – I did it! And right now I’m having such a good time and enjoying my life and enjoying my children, I don’t want to mess anything up. I don’t want to jinx it. But in the future yes – I would love to get remarried. I’m taking my time.”

Camille will be making cameos here and there on season three of RHOBH and although she is glad she won’t be in the middle of all the drama, she does promise some feisty moments!

Camille has been nothing but cooperative with this divorce and it’s sad that Kelsey won’t reciprocate that for his kids sake. Thoughts on what Camille had to say?

    Ugliness because of divorce is sad. Camille started the ugliness by doing her own media blitz at the start of the split talking about Kelsey’s cross-dressing, trying to suggest that he is gay, saying they did not have sex because he would be busy watching Fox News. What Kelsey is doing is also not kind but he probably feels Camille threw the first stone. Camille has suggested that theirs was not much of a marriage so I cannot imagine that the writing was on the wall. Besides, does anyone remember the shallow, materialistic, competitive, mean-spirited insecure Camille of season 1 of RHOBH before she toned it down when she was called by the public the most hated housewife in the history of the Housewives franchise?

    • AnnapolisErin says:

      I’m pretty sure Kelsey threw the first stone by sleeping with another woman! Then Camille was left in a contract filming a show and working through her feelings of grief in front of everyone. So yeah, the fact that she said some negative things isn’t surprising. But since she worked through that process, she’s been careful not to say anything about him in public. I do think it’s odd that Kelsey would bash her every chance he got. He’s the one that left the marriage after all. Have some compassion on the woman you were married to and that is the mother of two of your children!! He’s a pig.

      • joleeface says:

        Going on Howard Stern and on other shows making fun of him with one insinuation after the other was cruel. There was also talk of possible infidelity by Camille. Kelsey has said she kept bringing up divorce almost from the beginning of their marriage. Camille stopped bashing Kelsey when she realized that he was not going to take it lightly and it could jeopardize her settlement and custody arrangemnet. He walked off of Piers Morgan’s show because he does want to keep getting questions about her so maybe now they will both give it a rest.

          I agree with most of these posts ….. Fortunately or unfortunately many marriages & relationships do not last indefinately for various reasons. In the end it doesn’t matter who checked out first for when it’s over, it’s over. But the key is to move on regardless of the reasons & not begin talking against the other person as one only remains in the past & cannot move forward…. In this case, Camile & producers appeared to be on a mission to talk negatively about Kelsey on the show & media even to the extent of name calling, etc. for a storyline for Camile.. It’s unfortunate that this type of behavior goes on when couples split for it only adds to the bitterness of the seperation & final outcome not to mention that it effecs any children involved as well… Once words spoken & are on tape, media or in print, they remain there…. Bottom line, regardless of who did what ‘first’, move on with your life & live it for it’s not what happens to you but how you respond to what happens to you…… :)

    Roxy,

    How do you know Camille has been “nothing but cooperative with this divorce?” That’s quite a statement for someone on the outside looking in to make. Really. Unless you’ve been sitting in on the negotiations you really have no frame of reference for such a declaration.

    Even though I would wager that life with Camille was its own special hell (am I the only one that remembers “Season One Camille.” Let’s be honest, based on her behavior alone it could have been called Season of the Witch), I would never be presumptuous enough to pretend to know who to fault for the failure of the marriage. The fact is that although Camille seemed as though she is very high maintenance, none of us were in the marriage nor witness to it. How can we know who is “right” or who is “wrong.” As you age you will find out that it takes two to make a marriage and two to break a marriage. I speak from experience.

    • AnnapolisErin says:

      I’m not sure if you’ve ever gone through a divorce, but it’s hell. Let’s be fair, the woman had her marriage unraveling on national tv and had to deal with that embarrassment and grief in a very public way. I wouldnt be the most pleasant person either. And i wasn’t when going through my divorce, and I was even able to grieve in private!

    • Jose says:

      Helen,
      Rox didn’t write this blog. I based my statement on what I’ve seen play out in the public eye, not because I am involved in their personal issues. Kelsey bashing his ex in the media and refusing to directly talk to her even when it’s about their children and Camille trying to open up those lines of communications and even allowing her kids to see his new child. If she was a bitch she wouldn’t have let them.

      Bottom line: it’s just my opinion. Thank you for sharing yours!

      • Lily says:

        Settle down Helen. If its Roxy or Jose it’s there opinion

        • Joanna says:

          It’s Helens opinion too right? Helen doesn’t seem out of control or in any need to settle down. LOL.

        • Helen Wheels says:

          Actually, it’s “their” opinion. As for settling down, I’m actually feeling quite chill, thank you. You however, sound stressed. Maybe some down time would do you some good? Perhaps an hour in front of the TV watching a really good show. May I suggest “Boss.” For my mind, it’s tied with “Homeland” for being the best drama on television.

          • Lily says:

            Nope! I’m good but is that your defense correcting people’s grammar? I’m just saying. Just like you have an opinion. They can have one too

      • Helen Wheels says:

        Jose,

        If you are basing your opinion on what you’ve seen play out in the public eye than I have to question your idea of what taking the high road or being “cooperative” means.

        Are you saying that instead of walking out on Piers Morgan in an effort, (I am presuming, to maintain as much of his/her personal dignity as he could under the circumstances given their very public divorce), Kelsey should have stayed and matched her sordid disclosures point for point. Like when she complained about having to “scrape the carbuncles off his back,” he could have divulged some nasty secret about her body. Or how about when she alluded to his being a transvestite he could have matched her (fake) tit for tat with allusions of his own that some may take as gospel as you seem to have down regarding Camille’s assertions about Kelsey.

        The fact is that following the announcement they were getting divorced, it was Kelsey who started his journey on the high road and is working to stay there. Camille’s conduct however was, at the very least, unseemly and nasty. And before I get the, ‘well, he cheated on her and so she was pissed and deserved to be able to vent about it,” let me say this. They have two children and if for no other reason than that, she should want to maintain a dignified public stance. Instead she conducted herself with all the ‘flash with the trash’ of a Jerry Springer show guest.

          Man, (and I know I’m not alone), I wish you would install an edit option.
          It was supposed to read, “then” I have to question…” and, have “done” not, “have down”…

          Also it was my mistake to have first directed my post to Roxy. I forgot to remember Roxy had been seeking other writers for the site. I confess that until now, (this thread of course being the reason), I never checked the bylines before but I certainly will from now on.

          • Say What?? says:

            This is interesting. I dont know if attacking the writter is the answer. We can all post our own opinions rather we agree with the article or not.

            But while we are on the topic of the new writer here…

            Is the new writer behind our posts now being edited and removed.. as well as linking to other stories being deleted with no warnings ?
            Either the blog is moderated or its not. ?

          • joleeface says:

            I agree with all you said. Don’t worry about the “than/then.” With these blogs, it is often evident what’s poor grammar and what is just a plain old typo.

        • rukidding? says:

          helen

          you did seem to have a little attitude in your post. like if you took the story personally. we all have opinions. this blog is the writers opinion nobody said you had to agree. we’re all basing our opinions and assumptions on what we see online and on tv. i don’t give kelsey a pass just because he walked out on the piers morgan show. to me that was a coward move. before that time he was talking crap and now he wants to act like he has morals. i don’t think so. you don’t know why he walked off that show. to say he was trying to maintain his or hers diginity is doing what your accusing rox and jose of doing. you don’t know his reasons. just like you said to the writer. you have no frame of reference for such a declaration either!!.

          i’ve heard for many years. even before he met camille what a pompous jackass he is. the guy is a narcisstic. the only reason why he encouraged camille to be on the housewives show is so that he can get rid of her and have more freedom to see his mistress. the guy is a dog and i don’t care that camille talked crap about him first. he deserved it for being a cheating, lying bastard.

      • LJ says:

        Personally I know Camille had her issues but I agree w/ Jose. My sons bilogical donor has treated me similar. Chosen his GF over his son and I while I raised him on my own.Yet Im awful? And then got married to a new man who raises my son as his own and he’s awful too. I just sont think its right Kelsey is keeping it going and being so cruel towards the woman who not only helped him get sober but carried and brought his children into the world. Is she perfect? Hell no!But I can honetly say when my ex chose his GF over me and his son I did not immediately handle it w/ class or dignity. I was devestated. He at least owes her respect IMO! Maybe she didnt take the high road at first but she is now!

    • Marqueii says:

      I remember her behavior and have to wonder how much of it qasdeiven by her insecurity in the relatioship. We all get less thwn pleasant when we become insecure in our relationships due to altered behavior of our spouse
      The backbitting and slurs started with Kelsey before he annouced he wanted a divorce. His one and off nature prompted most of her eratic performances dyring seaspn one.

  3. Joanna says:

    Just to play devils advocate here, I remember season 1, watching her parade around, being catty, bragging about her wealth and constantly making remarks about younger men. In one scene, as Kelsey is back east, Camille is taking a motorcycle ride with her *friends husband*. In that scene, which I thought was awkward from the get go, she makes a comment about the virility of older men not being that good. I watched and thought, holy cow, I would never say that about my husband, especially on camera! I suspect there were many red flags, long before the show. Her image changed dramatically after her behavior on season one and the ugly break up played to her favor.

    • joleeface says:

      I agree with you Joanna.

    • Say What?? says:

      Did you know Kelsey was bankrupt when he met Camielle? She is the business woman behind his wealth ? Camille built this mans fortune, invested in real eastate and made him wealthy. She also got him sober and turned his life around. They both said some nasty things during the break up. But, Kelsey continues a year later… he needs to zip his mouth

      • Joanna says:

        That is what I have heard. Do I think she did it selflessly? Out of the goodness of her heart? No I don’t. If you go to you-tube there are countless interviews of her sitting straight up, looking poised all while saying not very nice things about her ex. I am not taking sides, I really don’t care for either of them, I am just pointing out the other side.

        • Say What?? says:

          Oh I agree Camille did it for self gain. But wouldnt we all? She worked a miricle on his finances and health but we dont know what went on behind closed doors. The way Kelsey went about leaving her was his typical M.O and Camille deserved better than to be publicly humiliated by him.He basicly told the world he never loved her and she only married him for his money and fame. Which obviously isnt true. I understand why she came out swinging in the beginning and accused him of being bi-sexual among many other things.Not that it was the right thing to do. Had Kelsey came out at that time and said equally bad things we all would have expected it. But to wait this long then go on Oprah (and all the other talk shows) and say the things he said…

          then to make the rounds trash talking the mother of his children… the woman who turned his life around.. regardless of how much he hates her he owes her respect!

          He will do this exact same thing to the new woman. Hope she’s taking notes!

      • Lucida says:

        One thing I will take issue with is the notion that Camille “got Kelsey sober.” Nobody has that power but Kelsey himself, and it does bespeak more than just a little self-importance on the part of Camille that she said that multiple times.

  4. Stacey says:

    I’m sick of hearing about their divorce. I don’t care any more.

  5. DLL says:

    I think that Kelsey is soooooooooo jealous that Camille has a hot smokin’ young boyfriend and he has………well, Kayte.

  6. Champ says:

    Helen, you seem to to extremely impassioned by this. If it was my guess I would believe you are Kelsey or Kate. Correcting grammar and suggesting to watch a less then average show like Boss. #too obvious

    • Say What?? says:

      I dont know why people always assume that if someone has a strong opinion they must be the person the story is writtn about. Helen has been around for a very long time i assure you shes not kelsey lol

      If you feel this way now, wait till BH starts airing and it gets NASTY on the blogs.

      • ThatOtherChick says:

        Agreed. That’s always annoying.

        I can already predict Adrienne getting NASTY comments on her blogs… she’ll probably be BH’s Aviva this season where EVERYBODY hates her.

  7. September24 says:

    RHOBH was the very first HW show I watched. Totally hooked after the 1st episode. Camille was so right when she said she was the brains behind the operation. Kelsey would not have the success and wealth today without her wise business decisions.

    Keep digging your grave Kelsey. Camille will live in luxury without you. She’s smart. You’re an idiot.

  8. IRiSHMaFIA says:

    I think Camille was nothing but a devoted and loving wife and mother. She stood by Kelsey’s side and helped to keep him healthy and support his sobriety. They have two children together and were partners in business as well. Camille deserves credit for a lot of the financial investments they made as a married couple that were successful.

    Kelsey is egotistical and selfish. He got bored and looked elsewhere and then didn’t have the decency to even let his wife know he didn’t love her anymore, before he took up with another woman.

    Camille may have made a few regrettable comments in regards to Kelsey but I don’t think there is any comparison to the pain and hurt he caused her and their children.

    I think she’s accepted the situation with as much grace as she could. Especially as it’s all played out in public. She’s moved on with her life and has concentrated on their children and her own happiness. Good on her.

    Kelsey can bore off.

  9. Lapband Lauren says:

    I think they should both have respect considering their daughter is becoming older and maybe soon she might read all these nasty interviews on blogs or tvs. From what I know, yes, Camille was a bitch on TV and kinda weird with that Nick dude. But I dont think she ever cheated on that other man. He has made himself look like a damn fool and his slutty mistress turned wife knew he was married, thats what makes things worse. He has no damn respect for the mother of his kids. Camilles new man is smoking hot. I hope she remarries and finds happiness again! And if my husband cheated on me best believe I will call his ass was cheating on me with men too. Lmao

  10. madamedummy says:

    she slandered the ‘beejeezuz ‘ outta him FIRST ..
    don’t feel a bit sorry for this skank ..
    she’s a POS ….

  11. ThatOtherChick says:

    I really don’t know much about the history of Kelsey and Camille, but I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to believe that Camille is a manipulative woman and has had a strained relationship with her husband for years before the show even started.

    I WILL say this, though; if Camille really did have affairs before Kelsey did, then it would be a double standard to get pissed at him and not feel the same way toward Camille. HOWEVER, I still think that cheating on someone is cowardly; if you don’t love someone enough to have sex with someone else, then why are you still married to that person? If Camille did have affairs, then she’s a terrible awful person because of the way she hurt Kelsey (That is, I ASSUMED he was hurt); Kelsey is a terrible awful human being because he could have chosen to divorce his wife before he decided to have an affair with Katye, but didn’t (Or maybe he knew that Camille wouldn’t give him a divorce unless something like his affair with Katye happened? That’s a possibility), and he ended up hurting his kids.

    I think it’s complete BS that Camille says that her kids were “excited” when they found out Katye was pregnant. What, they were EXCITED to hear that the WOMAN THEIR FATHER LEFT THEIR MOTHER FOR ended up pregnant?? TOTALLY BS if you ask me. Even if I don’t necessarily completely know about Camille and Kelsey’s history, that quote is still a red flag to me that Camille is not who she appears to be (That being said, I still think how Taylor treated her last season was awful).

  12. WarOnTara says:

    I side with Camille all the way! Having had personal experience with the man- Kelsey is a pompous douche. The only judgment I pass is wondering how in the heck she stayed with him for 13 years. There’s not enough money in the world!!
