Don't shoot the messenger!

On Friday's Ellen DeGeneres Show, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille Grammer opens up about how she first learned of her husband Kelsey's infidelities.

"A mutual friend called me and said, 'I don't like what he's doing to you and I don't like the timing because you're still in the middle of shooting a reality show.' And then I called him that night and texted him. No answer from him," Camille, 42, recalls. "I waited for three hours and then he called me and said, 'I don't want to be married anymore.'"

According to Camille -- who remains undecided about whether she'll return for a second season -- she only agreed to join the Bravo cast at the insistence of her husband, 55.

"I didn't want to do the show. I wasn't ready to expose my life that way," she explains. "I was surprised that he wanted me to do to it too. I was like, 'Are you crazy? Why are you making me do this?' But he thought it would be good for me to do something that was separate from us being a couple."

These days, Camille says things are so tense with her soon-to-be ex-husband (who's currently engaged to Australian flight attendant Kayte Walsh) that they barely even communicate.

"We don't speak at all," she tells DeGeneres. "Everything I find out is through the press with him. Or he writes me an email or text."

"I think it's really important for us to speak if we're going to raise children together," she explains of coparenting Mason, 9, and Jude, 6. "So right now, my focus now is that we hopefully become friends and we move on from this and we can become good parents to our two young children."

    Oh yeah I'm glad I wasn't the only one who saw how he received her when she walked into his dressing room at that show. She is no fool, she sensed his cold treatment. If he really pushed her into this show, it could be that he wanted the world to see her in a bad light and then he will strike and no one will sympathize with her. But guess what? We can see through any kind of light lol

    I like camille, and I hope some good looking,kind, and of course rich guy can come and comfort her in this trying times. She's been there for kelsey and I think he's been selfish lately. Moving on to greater heights and have no mercy getting that money from him. You worked for it as well. Flight attendant my ass. Didn't she know he had a family with little kids?

    Camille's Kelsey is old and you have 2 children with him move on to bigger and better things in your life. A flight attendant he has nothing going for him besides money. He's in demand now but, it should wear off soon.

    IF YOU REMEMBER SHE HAS IRRITABLE BOWEL DISEASE REALLY BAD. HE ALMOST LEFT HER BECAUSE OF THAT. HE EVEN WAS QUOTED AS SAYING HE DOES NOT LIKE BEING CALLED CAMILLE'S HUSBAND. HE IS NOT AN ALIST CELEBRITY. THE DAD, DAPHNEY, ROZ, AND NILES LUSTING AFTER DAPHNEY WAS SO FUNNY. THE CAST MADE HIM LOOK GOOD.. AND PLEASE SOME CREDIT SHE STOOD IN HIS SHADOWS FOR LONG ENOUGH. HE ENCOURAGED HER TO DO THE SHOW. AND SHE WAS SO PROUD OF HIM.......AND SO WHAT IF SHE HAS FOUR NANNY'S... THAT WAS KYLE SAYING IT OUT OF ANGER. KYLE IS JEALOUS..AND HAS NOT RESPECT FOR KIM. I SO WISH SHE WOULD DROP OFF THE SHOW....

    3 Reasons Why Camille Grammer Needs to Hush! http://bit.ly/ffpequ

    The Camille Grammer victim tour. It's a bit late for that. We've seen the show. We already know she's an incredible snob, vindictive, a little delusional, vain, manipulative, and most of all selfish. No telling what actually transpired in that marriage but if she really wants sympathy, she needs to stop talking about the father of her children in public and conduct herself with a little dignity.

    Some of these comments are hysterical. LMAO. Um, the psychic and the rest of the show is scripted reality. They aren't filmed 24/7. They film a few days a week for a few hours. Even if the psychic episode was fact, maybe the psychic told her behind closed doors. If they're such good friends, she wouldn't put her friend's business on public display like that. Second, Camille past has nothing to do with anything. The choices she made in the past were in the past and choices she made as an adult. Kelsey took a vow and broke it. Instead of telling her, this isn't working out, let's end it, he moved across the country, started having an affair with a tramp, knocked her up, and publicly humiliated his wife with his antics. He chose to marry Camille and behind closed doors, we don't know if he minds her flirting (maybe he is so secure with himself, he doesn't because he knows Camille is just friendly). He is the one in the wrong here. Instead of being an adult and respecting his wife by telling her he wanted out, he waited until his affair was out in the open and then trotted his skank out in public, including on the Wendy Williams Show. He is disgusting.

    I feel sorry for the children. They are stuck in the middle, but as far as Camille goes, she deserves everything she is getting. What comes around goes around...

  • January 07, 2011 - 5:01pm Annette Wilemon

    I'm wondering why her psychic friend didn't tell her the Kelsy was cheating on her since she claimed at her famous dinner party that she could tell everyone if their husbands were cheating on them? HMMMM...maybe the psychic is a phony afterall just like Camille!!

    "I think it's really important for us to speak if we're going to raise children together," says the woman with 2 children and 4 nannies. Maybe Kelsey would be willing to talk to the nannies, rather than Camille. After all, they're the ones who are doing the actual raising of those kids.

    She's a nobody married to (and soon divorced from) a nobody. Kelsey Grammer hasn't had a hit show since Frasier, and his personal life has made him into a joke. He's B list and she's F list. They actually deserve each other, so maybe they should stay together.

    For all you haters out there, quit ragging on Camile. She has shown grace under fire. I for one hope that she will return next season to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I think Camile is a lovely lady who is always classy and most importantly maintains a sense of humor. I think Camille adds a lot to the show. Camille keep your head up and this too will pass.

    All I have to say is KARMA is a b.....when her friend was talking abt Kyle ghetting a divorce she was actually talking abt Camille

  • January 07, 2011 - 12:51pm Laurie Everett

    Camille is a NOBODY! and nobody cares about you.

  • January 07, 2011 - 11:39am Faith Connoly

    Camile is 46, not 42 like says. I feel bad that she is so clueless. She's so wrapped up in herself she can't be sensitive to anyone else's feelings. FYI, Huffington Post has pic of her when she was a PORN star. Now who's morally corrupt, Camile?

  • January 07, 2011 - 11:20am DanHell Strawb

    Camille is (trying) to do major damage control. The sooner she realizes no one is buying her lies the better off she will be.

  • January 07, 2011 - 11:15am Plumb Annie

    The show can't manipulate things Camile says. All women are jealous of her; putting other people down & using Kelsey's status to do so; kissing another woman's husband on the lips, repeatedly and doing a striptease in front of other cast's husbands. SHE portrays herself to be a victim, but is a vain, superficial bragger who wants ALL eyes on her. I hope this is a learning lesson for her.
