When Camille Grammer started on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she thought she was happily married to Kelsey Grammer. By the end of Season 1, however, she knew that her marriage of 13 years was over.
When a visit to NYC proved her husband was living with another woman whom he planned to marry, Camille was devasted. But a good attorney offered the best revenge when Camille was awarded half of Kelsey’s retirement fund in their divorce.
Camille Grammer thanked ex-husband Kelsey Grammer “for all that Frasier money”
“Thank you, Mr. Kelsey Grammer, for all that Frasier money,” Camille said at the BravoCon Housewife2Housewife panel on November 14. “I am living my best life.”
And Camille isn’t the only one enjoying those TV residuals from her ex’s popular show. Her and Kelsey’s two now-adult children, daughter Mason and son Jude, are also benefiting. “The kids are doing great,” Camille continued. “Mason’s got a beautiful car. Jude’s traveling around Europe. It’s fabulous.”
While Camille, who remarried in 2018, first joined RHOBH, her biggest claim to fame was being “Kelsey’s wife.” After two seasons as a regular on the show, Camille was demoted to a “friend” and occasional guest. She wasn’t popular with the rest of the cast, which was hard for her. She wasn’t sure she ever wanted to return to the show.
“I had to think about it,” she explained to the audience. “I remember being on the phone with Lisa Vanderpump and she’s like, ‘Darling, you need to come back.’ Like oh, God, I need a hole in the head.” Ironically, Lisa also ended up leaving the show in the middle of Season 9 and refused to attend the reunion.
In the meantime, the passage of time has give the OG some perspective on being a Housewife. In an interview with E! News, Camille offered some advice to anyone considering joining the franchise. “Good luck, seriously,” she said on the BravoCon red carpet. “It’s a roller coaster ride. Don’t take things so seriously.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 15 premieres on Bravo December 4. The show streams on Peacock.
