Kelsey and Camille Grammer's marriage of 13 years was seemingly intact when Camille signed on to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which debuted two weeks ago on Bravo.

Yet this past July, as the show filmed, actor Kelsey, 55, filed for divorce from Camille -- and quickly stepped out with new love, 29-year-old flight attendant Katye Walsh. (Walsh sadly miscarried their child in September.)

Camille now charges that her soon-to-be ex lobbied to get her on the Bravo series in order to facilitate an affair with Walsh. Kelsey moved from Malibu to NYC to star in a revival of Broadway show La Cage Aux Folles, still running now.

"Looking back, maybe he wanted to keep me preoccupied in California while he was off having his affair in New York," the ex Playboy model, who has two young children with the actor, tells the New York Post.

Although Camille talks on the show of stepping out of her Emmy-winning hubby's shadow, she tells the Post "I really didn't want to do" Housewives. "I think it was more Kelsey's agenda. I was very reluctant, because I am a very private person."

(Sources tell the Post that Camille, not Kelsey, first expressed interest in doing Housewives.)

The split, naturally, will play out on future episodes of the show, and Camille's still upset with Kelsey.

"I don't respect what he did to me and my family," says the new reality star. "I am not happy with the way it went down. When I signed on, I didn't think I would be going through a divorce in the middle of a reality show."

 Still, she adds: "He was my best friend. I hope when the dust settles we can remain friends."

    Sad that Kelsey is dumping her just for a younger girl. But Camille knew what she was getting into when she married him. She was his trophy wife. Nadette is @ Koowie

    ok,the person who called her a better actor than kelsey is deranged and knows nothing of talent...she is a gold digger with no respect and a snobbish attitude...yeah,it's wrong he cheated,but to say that u can't live in a 3500 sf apt....families do it in much smaller ones..plus realhw's is the dumbest show..just a bunch of spoiled rotten,snobbish women acting stupid!!!!!

    Camille is so classic narcissistic! He made her do this show so he could cheat on her? She has no idea how stupid that comment sounds. Look, it takes 2 to make and break a marriage. Camille and her PR people are working over-time to do damage control for HER OWN BEHAVIOR ON THIS SHOW. Kelsey had nothing to do with the way she behaved, spoke and flirted with other men on the show. This is all her own doing. I hope she does not return.

    Kelsey is ugly and not a real man. He tried to humiliate her on nation television. Choosing his twenty over his eighty. She is a better actor then he is anyways. He is jealous of her and will get what he deserve. We love you Camille in will support you as fans.

    Sad situation for their children who have few coping skills to deal with the split. As for the Grammers, they're adults who will find a way to move on with their private lives. However, they will always be bound by their children to some degree so I hope their divorce is amicable. I wish them and their children the best possible outcome.

  • December 24, 2010 - 11:11am Deloris North

    camile is a see me person, this type thinks its all about them and no one else counts, they stand above everyone family included, they relish in making life miserable for anyone who they think might try and dethrone them, this is why she is doing what she does to kyle, even going so far as to throw a dinner party then have a so called friend who knew no one attend and stir the pot some more. she went with kesey when he was engaged with another person , that wasnt right and she thinks its not right what kelseys doing to her this is because she thinks she is better then all around her funny how her drunken friend told kyle her hubby would leave her lmao sorta had one two many as she got her wires crossed and it was kelsey leaving her n not kyles hubby, put the sot back on the show lol and let camille go after her for a while better yet camille just leave the show you a a self centered liar who just needs to shut up for a so private person you yap like a dog that needs to be muzzeled.

  • December 03, 2010 - 4:58pm Maisie Strickland

    I just love how Camille was talking about how she was higher in pecking order than Kyle because of Kelsey.. guess shes lower now? She is rude and needs to be knocked down a little.

  • November 21, 2010 - 1:20pm Teresa Mayes

    Camille is shrewd and calculating and, like a cat, will land on her feet. She's a lousy mother, friend and daughter and thinks of no one but herself. Kelsey could have handled this better but what would it have mattered? Camille can twist anything into her own reality. She is mentally unstable and has managed to surround herself with very needy people who will tell her anything to be a part of her life. It's sad.

  • November 19, 2010 - 2:06pm MaryEllen Izzy Richards

    I personally find it hilarious that she joked "wonder how long that will last" about Kyle's marriage and BOOM! Look what happened to her, honestly I think it's her karma because if in the little scripted bits we get to see on TV show her as she is, I can only imagine how she treats people she feels are "beneath" her husbands accomplishments in her 24/7 life.

    Wow...Kelsey duped her. Is the crazy? Its cheaper to Keep her

  • October 29, 2010 - 10:33am Casey Leigh LaFollette

    i think Camille sucks! and this Real Housewives group is the worst so far!

  • October 29, 2010 - 10:04am Debbie McLaughlin

    I think that the show "housewifes of..." is becoming a show where your husband gets a divorce from you. Check the background of these shows and see how many couples have gotten a divorce.

  • October 28, 2010 - 5:45pm Laurie Griffith

    This type of things has been Kelsey's m/o for years. He chose her when he was engaged to another woman at the time of his bad car accident. He'll do the same thing to the next woman, and the next woman, and the next woman...
