Has Kelsey Grammer's ex-wife Camille Grammer been ordered in their divorce settlement to shut up about their painful split and calm down on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?

After hitting the jackpot in her recent divorce settlement with the "Frasier" star -- and facing a custody battle for their kids -- Camille has returned to the show's second-season tapings "subdued."

So much so that Bravo producers are finding her character -- which provided a lot of the crazy entertainment in Season 1 -- "really boring," according to sources, one of whom added, "Producers have told Camille she has to start being more interesting and causing more drama."

"Nobody knows what's in that divorce settlement," says a source close to the show. "But I would not be surprised if she could not discuss certain things. She's checking what comes out of her mouth, and the producers are pushing for the cast to be as naughty and as full-on as possible."

A rep for Camille said sternly, "We have never discussed Season 2, and won't." A Bravo rep also declined to comment.

The network has not announced the new season cast or when it will begin airing, but reports say all original members are back.

Camille Grammer is not taking her ex-husband's request for custody of their two children lightly.

"She will fight like hell to keep her children with her, being raised by her, exactly where the children wish to be," a close friend of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star tells PEOPLE.

Kelsey Grammer, 56, filed for sole custody of Mason, 9, and Jude, 6, in L.A. County Superior Court last week. The filing offers Camille time with the kids during half of their summer and half of their winter breaks.

Last year, Kelsey relocated to New York City where he starred in the Broadway musical La Cage Aux Folles. He met flight attendant Kayte Walsh during this time and announced his split from Camille last summer. The two were divorced in February and Kelsey married Walsh later that month. The couple reside in New York City, while Camille lives in Los Angeles with her and Kelsey's children.

"He abandoned his family and got married within months of separating from Camille, all of which speaks volumes about his parenting and his respect for his current children," says the friend, who describes Camille, 42, as a "loving and compassionate mother."

"Camille looks forward to a full and complete professional evaluation," the friend continues, "which she is more than confident will show her to be the more appropriate person to be primarily responsible for the custody of the children."

Asked to comment on Kelsey's court filing, a rep for the actor told PEOPLE, "The filing speaks for itself."

Camille Grammer is privately blasting her ex-husband Kelsey Grammer over his bid to get sole custody of their children ... telling friends the kids have already made it clear ... they want to live with her.

Sources close to Camille tell TMZ ... after Kelsey filed the legal papers today in L.A. County Superior Court, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star called the move "another act of creepishness and chutzpah."

But we're told Camille ain't worried -- because she strongly believes their 6-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter are on her side. Camille has also told friends she will "fight like hell" to keep her kids with her ... "exactly where the children wish to be."

Our sources say Camille is ADAMANT Kelsey shouldn't get sole custody because he "abandoned his family and fathered a child out of wedlock … which speaks volumes about his parenting."

As we previously reported, Camille had been open to the idea of shared custody before Kelsey filed the docs today -- but now ... the gloves are off.

A custody battle is brewing between Kelsey Grammer and his ex-wife, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille Grammer!

Kelsey’s lawyers filed legal documents today, May 17, in L.A. County Superior Court, which stated that the former Frasier star is trying to rip physical custody of his kids, Mason, 9, and Jude, 6, away from Camille.

Kelsey, 56, is asking for joint legal, but sole physical custody of his son and daughter, although it is unsure where the kids would live if he were to win the war. He is currently in Chicago, while the kids are in school in L.A.

Sources tell TMZ.com that the estranged couple have been battling over the kids, who have been struggling ever since Kelsey picked up and left Camille for his new bride, Kayte Walsh, 29.

Insiders close to Camille, 42, tell TMZ that Kelsey’s move was completely uncalled for, considering Camille is a full-time mother who has done nothing but try and cooperate with her ex over a 50/50 custody deal.

Everyone is very well aware that Kelsey Grammer had no problem moving on from his 13-year marriage to ex-wife Camille Grammer.

But how is the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star rebounding?

"I'm a little nervous to jump back in the ring again honestly," Grammer said at the Bravo upfront event in Hollywood. "To trust again is going to be hard. I've been through a lot. I mean, I believe in love and I'm looking forward to dating. But how do you start after being with the same person for fourteen years?! I'm a bit nervous. Gun-shy!"

One person who's been there during her messy and not-so-private split from the Frasier star? Former enemy and Housewives costar Kyle Richards.

"She really has reached out to me during this time in my life," Grammer said. "Calling, texting, checking up, making sure that I'm OK. She'll write to me or call me saying, 'I'm thinking about you. Hope you are OK.' "

And while Camille and all five of her RHOBH costars walked the carpet, none would admit to knowing anything about coming back for the just-ordered second season of the hit series.

We're guessing that since all six showed up, there's a good chance they're not going anywhere any time soon.

Camille Grammer has been keeping busy since her split from Kelsey Grammer, working the Oscars red carpet for CNN and taking guest spots on CBS comedies. But she's still feeling the pain of her ex-husband wedding to Kayte Walsh.

This is according to her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costar Lisa Vanderpump, who had just spoken to Camille last night, prior to hitting a Hollywood restaurant opening.

So what's the dispatch from Malibu?

"She was very upset," Lisa told E! News last night at the grand opening of Fig & Olive restaurant. "It's public, it's humiliating, and she's very vulnerable. It's very upsetting."

The British housewife also said that Camille "will always have a love there" for her ex-husband, but that her friend is "definitely not" dating anyone new.

As for whether Camille will return to Bravo for a second season, Lisa thinks it's looking good.

"I can't say definitely, because it's been tricky the past few weeks with a lot of feelings running high with what went down with Camille and her divorce," she explained. "My perception is that it worked so if it's not broken why fix it? We would like it to stay the same but we're still working it out."

For the record, Camille's rep tells us that "she wishes them the best."
