Since the news broke, some are saying Camille got fired. Camille is now setting the record straight regarding her exit [E! News](https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/camille-grammer-i-didnt-want-to-leave-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-2012253#ixzz1qASIwvZF )asked the former housewife what really happened. Camille says, "I was **not** fired. I didn't want to expose my personal life so much anymore. I had done that and was over that. I care very much for my family and children and that show tends to take me away from them. I really want to focus on them right now." Camille adds. "I just chose to keep most things private in general. I'm in a good place and I've had such an** interesting** experience and such a learning experience being on this show. I've really enjoyed my time working with the girls and I will miss the camaraderie. I enjoyed the producers and Bravo. I'm upset about that part." She says leaving the show "was something I needed to do. At this time in my life I need to focus on my family" Camille mentions that another reason she left the show was because of her relationship with her hot new boyfriend Dimitri Charalambopoulos. "The past is the past and I'm in a really good place right now. I have a **wonderful** boyfriend who is kind and even tempered and there are certain things I just want to keep private. But it's not all about him." Camille finishes off by saying, "I will miss the good times we shared. I was just with them in Vegas and we were talking about how sad it is. Reality is a possibility but all things are possible. I'm in a** really** good place and I'm all about my family. It is a personal decision. I was not fired." Camille also told [US weekly,](https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/camille-grammer-i-didnt-want-to-leave-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-2012253#ixzz1qASIwvZF ) "I've had so much fun with the franchise, but I guess the producers and I couldn't come to an agreement." What do **you** think about Camille's decision to leave the shw?
