Ep 41: Kidnapped At 14. Dealing Meth For The Mob. Then Her Mum Called Police | Camille Keyte
At 14, Camille Keyte went to visit her boyfriend and was kidnapped in a meth lab.
It was the beginning of a life that would move through trauma, bodybuilding, sexual compulsion, methamphetamine, gang connections, motherhood, business ownership and serious criminal offending.
From the outside, Camille appeared capable and successful. She owned a hairdressing salon, had a home and was raising two daughters. Behind that life, addiction was changing shape.
Her obsession with bodybuilding became so extreme that she invited men over for sex to meet the number of calories she believed she had to burn each day. Methamphetamine later took control, and Camille eventually became a dealer within the Mongrel Mob environment.
Within eight months, she lost her salon, her home and her children.
By November 2020, Camille was wanted by police. She wore a wig into Kmart to buy clothes for prison, drove the length of the North Island believing every car behind her was an undercover police officer, and eventually handed herself in.
What followed was a high risk cell at Auckland Women’s Prison, a song on the radio, a mother prepared to call the police on her own daughter and a decision that changed Camille’s life.
Today, Camille has turned her lived experience into leadership in addiction recovery.
This is not a comfortable story. It is a powerful account of trauma, cross addiction, offending, motherhood and the extraordinary work required to build an entirely different life.
This episode discusses addiction, violence, kidnapping, sexual assault, suicide and compulsive sexual behaviour.
