Camille Meyer Looks Back on RHOBH’s "Dinner Party From Hell”: "It Got Nasty"
Camille Meyer unpacks her now-legendary dinner party, 14 years later.
Across all of the Real Housewives’ seasons, there's been no shortage of drama. But few episodes exist as a microcosm for all things Housewives — with multiple conflicts, unsolicited opinions, surprise guests, and one memorable e-cigarette — than The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills soiree at Camille Meyer (then Camille Grammer)'s Malibu home. Season 1, Episode 9 first graced our screens on December 16, 2010, making the episode the perfect holiday gift to fans then and the perfect treat to revisit 14 years later. The infinitely quotable evening has stood the test of time in pop culture. From "Enough!” to "the morally corrupt Faye Resnick,” it’s likely your group chat has been flooded with memes and GIFs even non-Housewives viewers hold dear.
“You couldn't write this stuff," executive producer Bill Fritz said at BravoCon 2019 about the priceless clapbacks the ladies slung at each other during the episode. In a RHOBH retrospective special, producers recounted how many of the memorable moments captured occurred after a seemingly normal dinner was wrapping up. "It was like the reality gods conspiring to deliver the perfect episode of a show," Andy Cohen said. Even the host herself was surprised at the outcome. "I had no idea," Camille told Bravo Insider.
If another Housewives dinner stirs up any chaos — see our list of episodes below! — they’re always measured against the original. In a look at Bravo's most historic moments, Camille is pulling back the curtain for Bravo Insider on her famed gathering.
