Reflecting on the difficult period following their divorce in 2010, Camille shared that she felt “broken” and even “almost suicidal.” Her comments came as she discussed her estrangement from Kelsey, with whom she was married for 13 years before their relationship fell apart amid Kelsey’s infidelity. The actor later married flight attendant Kayte Walsh, with whom he shares four additional children.
Camille disclosed that she has not communicated with Kelsey in 14 years, a silence that emphasises the painful memories tied to their marriage. She famously noted that Kelsey had expressed a complete lack of remorse for his actions, recalling a text message from him that left her hurt and bewildered. “He sent me a text saying, ‘I feel no remorse for what I am doing,’” she revealed, allowing listeners to glimpse the heartache she endured during their separation.
Despite the turmoil, Camille acknowledged that their marriage did contain “many good years” and “a lot of fun times.” However, the circumstances surrounding their split were exacerbated by the scrutiny from the television series that chronicled their lives. The public nature of their divorce, coupled with Kelsey’s supporters attempting to uphold his image, contributed to Camille’s feelings of despair. “I don’t feel like I was getting a break,” she explained, revealing how the relentless attention impacted her mental state.
In the podcast, Camille recounts how she struggled to cope. “I kept getting kicked from every angle and couldn’t come up for air,” she compared the experience to “being thrown in the middle of the ocean without a life raft and drowning.” This overwhelming sensation of isolation intensified during the broadcast of *RHOBH*, causing her to reach out to producers, candidly admitting, “I don’t know how I’m gonna stay alive through this.”
She further elaborated on the darkness of her experience, revealing her inner conflicts: “I felt like, how do I get out of this? Because I wasn’t getting any help.” It was a call for support that highlighted the challenges she faced during a particularly vulnerable moment in her life.
Since her divorce from Kelsey, Camille has moved on and married attorney David Meyer in 2018. The couple appears to be thriving, a contrast to the painful memories from her past. On the other hand, Kelsey has built a family with Kayte Walsh and frequently shares joyful updates about his younger children, expressing delight in their lives together.
As both former partners have taken steps toward new beginnings, Camille’s reflections serve as a reminder of the complexities of relationships, particularly those played out under the public eye. Her story resonates particularly for those who may also struggle with emotional distress and the consequences of separation.
