Kelsey Grammer’s Ex on Real Housewives Series
Kelsey Grammer has had a very public divorce from his wife Camille Grammer. Now Camille Grammer one of the new members of Bravo’s “Real Housewives” franchise, and she says the show has helped her move on, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The couple, once a power couple in Hollywood, had been married for 13 years. The pair also have two children, 9-year-old daughter Mason and 6-year-old son Jude.
Camille, a 42-year-old former Playboy model, said that she is “glad that I decided to do the show because it’s been a diversion… I have these wonderful, fine very strong successful women right there supporting me through this.”
Part of the reason that the divorce gained so many headlines was the lack of a prenuptial agreement between the two. This allows Camille to try and receive portions of the money Kelsey received during his star role on the popular television show Frasier.
Adding to the drama was the fact that shortly after the divorce proceedings began, Kelsey began to move on. In the middle of the divorce, Kelsey moved in with his new love, a 29-year-old Virgin Atlantic employee.
Camille said that, at the time the divorce started, she had no idea the divorce was on the horizon. It was a surprise to her.
During the first episode of the “Real Housewives” season, the two were together, and when Camille watched it she said “I was hard for me. It definitely brought a tear to my eye… I think I give him a kiss (goodbye) and say ‘I love him.’ I was supposed to move in that summer.”
This isn’t the first time that there has been an emotional rollercoaster being shown on “Real Housewives”. But that it is a positive aspect to see it as a healing period for the people involved in the separation.
When we watch celebrity divorces and marriages, it’s easy to forget that they are real people and the relationship are real. The pain felt by a famous person is no different that the pain we all feel in tough situations.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to separate celebrities’ personal lives from their public lives. With the 24-hour news cycle and the intense spotlight on celebrities, we feel like their whole lives are around to entertain us. If we see a couple getting together, and we don’t think it’s going to work out, it’s easy to be cynical.
But just because many people expected a celebrity couple to divorce doesn’t mean that the pain the two feel is any less. When celebrities have little or no distinction between their public and private lives, we begin to take the moments that shape their lives as entertainment for ours.
