The "Frasier" star's third wife says she joined the cast of Bravo's new reality series on his suggestion.

"The truth is I didn't want to do the show," Camille Grammer told accessholywood.com. "I wasn’t sure because I just didn’t want to expose my life in this manner."

But according to the former Playboy model, Grammer inspired her to take part in "Real Housewives," which is set to debut in October.
"When we were together, [Kelsey] thought it would be good for basically the country and women out there to know who his wife really is," she told the entertainment website.
The 41-year-old reality star and her husband separated in July after 13 years of marriage.

"Things fell apart between us. That is all," Grammer tweeted of his third marriage. "Camille did not want this but has made a very difficult decision and I respect her for it."

The Daily News quoted a source as saying Grammer didn't support his wife's interest in joining the cast of "Real Housewives."

"He's a control freak, so he didn't like her joining the show," the source said.

On Tuesday, Bravo announced the entire cast of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." Joining Grammer on screen are Oklahoma native Taylor Armstrong, British designer Lisa Venderpump, Sacramento Kings owner Adrienne Maloof and Paris Hilton's aunt, Kyle Richards and her sister, Kim.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" premieres Oct. 14 on Bravo.
