Divorces are messy. Hollywood divorces doubly so. The split between Kelsey Grammer and third wife, Camille Donatacci is clearly no different. And ‘Real Housewives’ seems to be at the core.The less intelligent blogs have been saying that Camille called it quits with their 13-year marriage because Kelsey did not call his children on Father’s Day. Well, Camille also wanted to be part of a Beverly Hills version of the ‘Real Housewives’ show, but Kelsey was dead-set against it.
“Camille misses her days in the spotlight as a Playboy model and dancer,” a close friend tells PopEater. “She gave up her career to become his wife. Now, she has the opportunity to break out on her own, and she isn’t going to let it pass her by.”
But Kelsey hated the plan, and the show, and tried to change Camille’s mind.
“He’s one of the biggest TV stars in the world,” says a snitch. “It doesn’t matter how much he loves his wife, Kelsey would never appear on a reality show. He’s in a huge Broadway hit and appearing as a ‘Real house-husband’ was simply never going to happen.”
And Kelsey not only refused to take part in the program, he also refused to let their two children appear.
“Kelsey’s a fantastic father who has worked hard to keep his kids safe from the spotlight. I can’t imagine him letting them appear on TV just to help their mother advance her career,” a close friend of Kelsey’s confirms.
So Camille called her lawyers, and is now seeking joint physical custody of 8-year old Mason, 8 and 5-year old Jude, plus spousal support, child support and at least one of their homes.
This could get messy…
