Kelsey Grammer’s ex-wife, Camille Grammer, publicly criticized him after he reportedly forgot their daughter Mason’s 25th birthday. In an Instagram post, Camille expressed her disappointment, saying it is unfair for a daughter to question whether her father remembers her special day. She mentioned that three days had passed without any call or message from him. Camille highlighted that while Kelsey may be celebrated as an actor, being a father is a role that requires presence outside of the spotlight. She stated that fame and public praise are insignificant if one neglects their loved ones, adding that some pain comes from being ignored.
Camille shared how a mother feels hurt when her child is upset, especially on a significant birthday like the 25th. She noted that Mason had been checking her phone all weekend, hoping for a message from her father, even looking in her spam folder for any missed communication. To illustrate her point, Camille posted a picture of Mason with Kelsey but covered Kelsey’s face with a clown emoji. Kelsey and Camille were married from 1997 until 2011 and have two children together, Mason and Jude. Kelsey has a total of eight children from three of his four marriages and has faced estrangement from some of them, including his oldest daughter, Spencer, who he admitted he neglected during the early years of his career. He also had a strained relationship with his daughter Greer, who said Kelsey was part of her life from ages 4 to 16. Kelsey has mentioned trying to make up for lost time with his older children by being more involved with his younger kids—Faith, Gabriel, James, and Christopher, whom he shares with his fourth wife, Kayte Walsh.
