“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” fans saw the demise of Camille Grammer‘s marriage to superstar actor Kelsey Grammer. However, there are a few painful details about their split that viewers don’t know about. During an appearance on Cynthia Bailey and Crystal Kung Minkoff‘s podcast, “Humble Brag,” the “Real Housewives” OG said she received a painful message from her ex-husband amid their messy divorce between 2010 and 2011.
During the latest episode of “Humble Brag,” Bailey and Minkoff spoke with the “RHOBH” alum about the downfall of her marriage and asked the reality star whether Kelsey ever showed remorse.
“When you asked me if [he said] I’m sorry or remorse … he sent me a text saying, ‘I feel no remorse for what I am doing,’” Camille alleged, adding that his words caused a deep wound. “And that was very harsh because I was very much in love with him, and I believed he was very much in love with me. We did have very many good years in our marriage and a lot of fun times.”
Camille and Kelsey married in 1997 and shared two kids together, Mason, 24, and Jude, 21. Despite sharing kids together, Camille said she hasn’t spoken to her ex-husband in nearly 15 years. “He called it parallel parenting, and that’s what it was like,” Camille claimed.

As the conversation continued, Camille mentioned Kelsey’s sobriety, stating that while she can’t take credit for his journey, she “helped him and held his hand through it,” adding that it “wasn’t easy.”
Camille made even more allegations during the podcast episode, claiming that Kelsey used to “bash” her up until recently. “I think Kelsey would have been happy for me to just fade away,” she said. “But then, no, here I am, and now, I can defend myself.”
Camille continued, empathizing with other women on “Real Housewives” who have endured difficult public divorces.
“I feel bad for every woman going through divorce that people watch [on] these shows and defend the ex-husband. I hate that,” she said. “Not all these ladies are perfect … but we’re still moms, and we have children.”
What Does Camille Grammer Miss About Her Relationship With Kelsey? She Says…
Back in 2021, Camille got candid about her relationship with Kelsey and shared what she missed about her marriage with the “Cheers” actor.
After joking with “Watch What Happens Live” host Andy Cohen about the question, saying “nothing,” she changed her tune shortly after.
“Well, I miss, you know, the family unit being together back then when it first happened — and being alone for so long and our children without their dad around,” she said.
Even then, Camille said she wasn’t too concerned about her previous marriage, stating that she was very happily remarried to her new husband, David C. Meyer.
Camille Is Living Large Thanks To ‘Frasier’ Money
During BravoCon 2025, Camille revealed that she’s been living large since her divorce, thanks to the hefty sum she received from Kelsey.
“Thank you, Mr. Kelsey Grammer, for all that ‘Frasier’ money. I am living my best life,” she said. “And the kids are doing great.”
She added, “I mean, Mason’s got a beautiful car. Jude is traveling around Europe. It’s fabulous. Thank you.”
Camille Believed The End Of Her Marriage Was Near After Kelsey Encouraged Her To Audition For ‘Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills’
Also, at BravoCon, Camille said that it was her ex-husband’s idea for her to audition for the Beverly Hills iteration of the “Real Housewives” franchise.
However, Camille said she believed his willingness to allow her to film gave her pause. “Immediately, when he said, ‘No, honey, I think this is really good for you.’ I thought, ‘Oh, what’s really going on?’ No, I had my suspicions,” she said. “I had my doubts.”
According to Camille, years before the show came around, Kelsey allegedly wouldn’t have “allowed” her to pursue the series. “We were very private years ago,” she said. “And then all of a sudden he’s like, ‘No, go out there. Do whatever.’ I’m like, ‘OK, something’s going on.’”
