Camillie also tells People that she's very happy with her boyfriend, and adds that it is "unethical for us to date our clients."

"It's also an unethical charge being made. It's sexist," she adds. "It's unfortunate and it's disappointing, but at the same time it kind of comes with the territory. I can't say I was all that surprised."
