Camille Grammer targeted “monster” Dorit Kemsley on Crystal Kung-Minkoff and Cynthia Bailey‘s podcast on Monday, alleging that her “head blew up” and admitting to feeling bad for her estranged husband, Paul “PK Kemsley.
As she also slammed the past couple of seasons of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as “redundant and boring,” signaling Dorit’s recycled storyline, mentioned the “clique” of friends known as the “Fox Force Five,” and reflected on her messy split from Kelsey Grammer, 71, Camille said that she was right about Dorit, 49, noting that she felt her former castmate was “full of herself.”
“[Dorit] turned into a monster. She’s full of herself,” Camille, 57, declared on the May 18 episode of Humble Brag With Crystal and Cynthia.
Also admitting that Dorit seemed to be “unraveling” amid her split from PK, 58, Camille said she’d experienced two different versions of Dorit.
“I’ve had the Dorit monster come for me, and I’ve seen the nice, sweet Dorit, and I’ve experienced that too,” she explained. “She’s a mom, again, and I feel bad for anybody going through such a difficult time. So I do have sympathy and empathy for that. But years ago … I just saw her change. I think it got … her head blew up. She bought into the hype.”

Camille then said that Dorit seems to be repeating the same storyline each season.
“I’ve found the last couple of seasons redundant and boring,” she stated. “We’ve heard about the Dorit storyline now for three or four seasons, and she has a way of reinventing this … But I’d like to see something spice it up a bit more.”
According to Camille, she found the casting of Amanda Frances, 41, “interesting.”
“I wasn’t sure at first when I was watching her if I was going to enjoy watching her on reality TV, but she definitely is a lightning rod that spices things up a bit,” she noted.
During her most recent seasons on RHOBH, Camille said she experienced clique-y behavior from her co-stars.
“They’ve been working with the same ladies over and over again. They became a clique,” she explained. “When I was filming again as a friend … I found that there was a group of ladies that really had each other’s back and they called themselves the Fox Force Five.”
At another moment of the podcast, Camille admitted to feeling vindicated about what she said about Dorit and PK in the past, adding that she “felt bad for [PK].”
“I think Dorit’s changed a lot since the first season. She was super sweet. She probably felt like she was getting in over her head. But then watching that clip from PK saying he kind of created this putting her on the show, she didn’t want to do the show, again, so he … he did [take responsibility], which, most men in that situation wouldn’t take responsibility but he did. Kudos to him for doing that,” she continued.
“Do I think she’s a phony a** bitch? Yes,” she continued.
Also on the podcast, Camille spoke of her and Kelsey’s breakup, which came as he began a new romance with now-wife Kayte Walsh, 47.
“I think he was happy the first year [of RHOBH] when things were going south for me, and I was the villain. For him, it was an excuse to say, for the whole audience to say, ‘See …’ And I hated those comments,” she admitted. “Like, I feel bad for every woman going through divorce, that people watch these shows and defend the ex-husband. I hate that. Not all these ladies are perfect. But we’re still moms and we have children.”
According to Camille, she and Kelsey don’t co-parent and haven’t spoken in 14 years.
“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. I mean, we did have very many good years in our marriage and a lot of fun times,” she noted. “It was long and we had two kids.”
Camille Grammer was featured on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in a full-time role for its first two seasons and has made several guest and friend appearances in the years since.
