Grammer Allegedly Sent Camille a Hurtful Text

Camille Grammer claims that Kelsey Grammer sent her a text that left her breathless with shock and sadness. She said on the podcast, "And when you ask me about the 'I'm sorry,' or the remorse, he said to me — he sent me a text saying, 'I feel no remorse for what I am doing,' 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."

The couple had two children, a daughter and a son, who are now in their 20s. Camille acknowledged that they enjoyed "many good years" together. Nevertheless, the marriage soured. She says she has not talked to her former spouse for 14 years.

Furthermore, Camille Grammer added, "I was broken. I broke, I'm gonna be honest, I broke, and I think I broke when the show was airing, because I was getting it from all sides," She was on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Camille's marital turmoil was part of the popular reality show.

She Reached a Very Low Point

Camille Grammer poured her heart out on the podcast. She shared with the hosts, "I don't feel like I was getting a break — 'cause the show, the fans, the audience. Then, bigger than that, it's Kelsey's people — his machine behind him to protect his image — that were on full force. I remember calling him, saying, 'Get your dogs off me, get your bulldogs off me. 'Cause I don't wanna keep reading this horrible stuff that you're putting out there with your posse to protect your image.'"

Camille says she felt so bad that she confided in the producers of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, "I don't know how I'm gonna stay alive through this. That's how dark it got and how upset I was, like almost suicidal, but not quite. 'Cause I would never commit suicide, but I felt like, how do I get out of this? Because I wasn't getting any help."

Camille Grammer remarried in 2018. Her husband is an attorney named David C. Meyer.
