Camille Grammer is weighing in after Caroline Manzo opened up about the unaired Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip footage involving Brandi Glanville and admitted she fears what it could do to her mentally if it ever airs.
Caroline recently appeared on Legally Goff, where she spoke about the RHUGT Morocco incident and said she has “no malice” toward Brandi, but still does not know if she could mentally handle the footage becoming public.
Caroline said she has not spoken to Brandi since everything happened, but added, “I really don’t. I like Brandi. Brandi’s broken. I would like to fix Brandi. That would make me happy.”
Caroline also explained that she is not afraid of the footage itself, but of what it could do to her mental health long term.
“The only thing that I’m fearful of is what it will do to me mentally,” Caroline said. “I’m not afraid of anything. I fear for my… Because it never goes away.”
Caroline said even her newborn grandson could one day find the footage if it airs, adding that she does not know if she has the capacity to deal with that “for the rest of my life.”
Now, Camille, who filmed the same unaired RHUGT season with Caroline and Brandi, is sharing her perspective.
A screenshot of Camille’s response was shared by the account Avatar Lorde, showing Camille reacting to a Reality Blurb post about Caroline’s comments.
Camille wrote:
“I’ve had many things air on housewives that were traumatic having ie. my husband leaving my house in flames on the news.. etc. etc. unfortunately the cameras are rolling while life is happening. I’m not discounting her pain or undermining her feelings but what we saw wasn’t that bad. What I saw was very playful but again I wasn’t in the bathroom where they allegedly incident happened.”
Camille’s response adds another layer to the ongoing debate because she was actually present during filming. While Camille acknowledged that she does not want to dismiss Caroline’s pain, she also said that from what she personally saw, the interaction did not appear to be “that bad” and seemed “very playful.”
The unaired RHUGT season filmed in Morocco featured Caroline, Brandi, Camille, Vicki Gunvalson, Gretchen Rossi, Phaedra Parks, Eva Marcille and Alex McCord. However, the season was shelved after allegations involving Brandi and Caroline surfaced.
Brandi has denied wrongdoing and has repeatedly spoken out about the impact the allegations have had on her life, health and career.
Caroline, meanwhile, has made it clear that the experience still affects her. On Legally Goff, she said she has not watched much of the footage herself because even seeing a few minutes left her in a bad place for months.
“I have not seen a lot of the footage. My lawyer has. I can’t watch it,” Caroline said. “The one time I did watch a few minutes, I was not right for months.”

Still, Camille made it clear she was not in the bathroom where the alleged incident happened.
