Camille Grammer Ring: Reality Star Says She's Over Kelsey

We were all more than a little shocked when word got out that Camille Grammer was still wearing a 10k diamond ring her ex-husband Kelsey Grammer gave her on their fifth anniversary, holding onto a symbol of their now-broken 14-year marriage. But the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star is setting the record straight -- and believe me, she's over Kelsey.

"Am I still in love with Kesley? No," Camille told me. "It's easy to fall out of love with someone when they are putting you through such hell."

So why is she still wearing a ring that was given to her by a man who has moved on -- so quickly, in fact, that he has already married his fourth wife, Kayte Walsh?

"I only wore the ring for the photo shoot," Camille explained. "I did a photo shoot for Life & Style magazine and they had asked me to bring my bling. That ring is bling, along with other gifts that I have gotten from my ex over 14 years. I had acquired a lot of rings in my relationship. So whenever anyone asks me to bring my bling, that comes along with it."

However, two rings that Kelsey gave Camille before he broke her heart that you will never see on her finger are the reality star's wedding and engagement rings.

"I have my wedding ring and engagement ring in a safe," she says. "I plan on giving them to my daughter. I don't wear them anymore and I don't want to hock them. That is so vulgar and cheap."

But Camille does have a few new rings that mean more to her than any jewels her ex gave her -- a plastic, light-up ring from her new man, Dimitri Charalambopoulos.

"The first night I met Dimitri we were in Vegas and he gave me a giant flashing light ring," Camille recalled. "It was like a silly engagement ring that looked like it was 40 carats with a flashing light. It was adorable. He said someone must really love you. ... A 10 carat diamond ring cannot hug you back and give you love."

It's settled. Bling is bling -- and that's all.

Sick of the "plastic women" and who cares what they do? Make them go away.

I have to say, Camille has grown on me. My initial exposure to her was the first season of the Real Housewives of BH. I did not care for her during that season. Now for some reason, I have come to view her as a woman who has found the strength to get through a nasty public divorce with a fair amount of grace. Rock on Camille. With or without your bling.

I'm still not convinced she's a good person. I think any grace we're seeing is more a result of the humiliation of the divorce and how she was portrayed on the show last year. She almost had no choice but to behave better this season. She received a public smackdown on so many levels and I'm guessing it caused her to reevaluate how she presents herself. I'm still not convinced she's not self-involved and catty. Btu I could be wrong! ( :

It's a diamond ring - not an engagement ring. I would probably still wear it - it's DIAMONDS!!! Leave Camille alone. She has redeemed herself this season. I like her.

Why does it matter that she wore the ring? I have a beautiful diamond necklace my ex gave me, and I still wear it. My boyfriend doesn't care because he knows it has nothing to do with feelings toward my ex...it's gorgeous and loaded with diamonds, so that's all I care about!

I couldn't stand Camille the first season, but now she's not so bad. Especially since she spoke her mind to the lying Taylor.

Me too...I have all sorts of great things given to me ... Men don't seem to mind where you got them from ... I think it is because you are a ...Happy-person who enjoys... beautiful jewels ...and it actually is a reminder of maybe, what he did or for that matter what you did to end that part of your relationship ... it helps you MOVE-on.....or......they after-all is said & done just THINGS
