Kelsey Grammer thinks Camille married Frasier, tears up talking about new wife

Kelsey Grammer’s sitdown with Piers Morgan aired last night, and, of course, Morgan got him to open up about his very public divorce with his third wife, Camille. Did she marry Grammer because he was a TV star, he asked? “I think she married me because I was Frasier,” Grammer laughed. “I think it was Frasier. You know, he had this great wonderful life … he was stylish … and fabulous, you know, just a little gay … and he was famous. Kelsey Grammer was a different story. You got home and Kelsey Grammer was somebody different.” Asked which of Camille’s comments have hurt him most, Grammer thought of two. ”She once said that I didn’t want my daughter… that pissed me off,” he offered first. (Morgan put that into context as only he could: “You’ve been a fairly hopeless husband from time to time with the various wives, and then some of them have been pretty useless wives, but you’ve throughout been a very contentious, loving father, so that kind of thing must really hurt you.”) The statement that stung both him and his fourth wife, Kayte Walsh, even more was “that thing about the child we lost … something about it being karma … it’s just disgusting,” Grammer said. 

On a happier note, Grammer teared up while talking about falling in love with Walsh after spending years in his troubled marriage with Camille. “It was like all the planets had danced together into a segregated charm on our behalf,” he said. If there was a couch, he probably would have jumped on it. (And if he were really Frasier Crane, that metaphor would have made more sense.) But his elation at finally experiencing what he considers real love on the fourth try does appear genuine. Watch a clip below.

    Instead she married Sideshow Bob.

      Unfortunately for Kelsey Grammer, based on his abhorrent behavior. he will forever be remembered as a huge, philandering d-bag, just like Michael Vick will always be a dog abuser no matter how much pennance he does. I was not a huge fan of Camille, but I seriously understand where she was coming from with her comments. He hurt her and humiliated her on national TV, so she struck back where she knew it would hurt the most. Not the most mature thing to do, but understandable all the same.

      • duncan Green

        Peanuts..your gutless in your statement as well as being wrong..Camille was a douche, golddigger, whatever you want to call the witch..shes gutter trash at best..

      • Peanuts

        @duncan Green – why is my statement gutless and why am I wrong? Wrong about what? All I said was I understand where she’s coming from. Kelsey humiliated her, so she fought back with what she knew would hurt him too. I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy the embarrasment and humiliation she when through. Kelsey is all sorts of common and grotesque, andd you duncan Green are a complete idiot!

      • shark

        Peanuts- get a life and you are wrong. you have no way to know what happened and to pretend you know enough to label him is insane.

        grow up

      • untapttalent

        i don’t care that he hurt her, she had no right to ever imply that the loss of a child was karma…that’s beyond immature, and NOT understandable…i don’t see him as someone who will always be a d-bag, he’s flawed, just like i don’t see Michael Vick as just someone who abused dogs…people are layered and very few people are not worthy of our forgiveness, especially since their actions have no real impact on our lives…in fact, on second thought, i’m not even sure forgiveness is up to us…we weren’t hurt by them so forgiveness should be irrelevant. if he is in deed happy and in love, then i’m happy for him and can only hope that Camille can find that for herself as well.

      • SaraS

        I for one agree wholeheartedly with you, except for your last statement – I couldn’t care less if Kelsey Grammar is in “love”. Please. He’s not deserving.
        Camille came off like a rose simply because he abandoned his family, his kids, and lived two lives for quite some time. I will never support another project he does.

      • KLH

        Let’s see. And he married Camille because he could see beyond her blonde hair and big booobs into her mind. And what a mind!! Shut up you shallow fool, Kelsey.

      • Teddy

        & his new wife is not the same trash. Any woman who gets into a relationship w/a rich married man is obviously skank! No matter how bad his marriage may have been, she has no right to intervene until it is legally deemed over. 4 wives, u stupid, stupid little girl! Get ready for Karma Mrs. Kelsey “You Will Be Dumbed, Humilated, Cheated On too” Grammer & when it happens just know you deserved it & will be dogging him too! I love how someone thinks because they are a so-called Star, they do no wrong, or if they do it’s ok because they are rich. KARMA, KARMA, KARMA!!!

      • Brian

        Your an idiot!

      • Hall

        @shark – Peanuts did not imply Kelsey is insane – you don’t read good. Maybe when you grow up you will make more sense.

        and

        @untapttalent – who the heck is talking about forgiveness? Why would you even say something so ridiculous? If you were trying to make a point – FAIL!

    • Tajah

      Oh Snap!

      • It’s True!

        Susan Sarandon, old, senior citizen cvntress of Hollyweird, has syphilis-related brain damage.

      • Jessica Alba

        What does Susan Surrandon has to do with anything? LMAO

    • Poppy

      Lisa, you’re are to so funny, and so right!

      Piers Morgan soft balled that interview. Now I hope Camille gets interviewed so she can address Kelsey’s gloss over of his culpability.

      • Rebecca

        Piers wont do that…he doesn’t want to have to deal with actual conflict you know? But Kelsey – realize your predator of a wife will be mean and nasty when you dump her. She looks like she’s capable of some nastiness.

      • Just Sayin

        I would feel bad for Kayte but clearly she too is a gold digger and she has to sleep with this old evil man.

    • Stace

      1) He’s cheating scum. Even he admits he was living with this other woman before his wife even knew he was thinking about divorce. I don’t care why . . . I think it’s wrong . . . and to have him go on and on and on about his first date with this other woman on EVERY talk show . . . while his wife was at home raising his children, clueless about his intentions . . . is disgusting.
      2) I actually would love to see exactly what Camille said about karma. I’ve seen a LOT of reporting on it, and NO ACTUAL QUOTE. I know that a lot of people believe that when you are hateful, or carry hateful feelings, that you can make yourself ill, or even give yourself cancer . . . I’m not saying it’s scientifically proven, but people believe it. So I’m beginning to wonder if that is more in line what Camille meant, and that the reason we aren’t seeing an actual quote is because what she said isn’t actually all that bad.

      @untapttalent . . . I don’t think Kelsey needs my forgiveness, but as a consumer I have EVERY RIGHT to not give my money to anything he does or anyone who employs him. If I don’t like him – I don’t have to watch his shows. It has nothing to do with forgiveness.

      • ken

        Dear Stace,
        Did you ever get an answer with the actual quote by Camille? The only source I see is Mr. Grammer’s own allegation, without attribution as to time and place. I suspect he is a blood vicious liar.

      • philip

        that stuff was weeks ago.

  • Pattyl

    She thought she did. Fraiser was a nuch nicer guy then Kelsey is.

  • Anita

    Gonna have to catch the interview online, but from the comments above, Kelsey sounds like a pompous ass. I hope his newest wife dumps him and takes half his money.

    • David

      Yes, you should always judge people based on anonymous comments and wish bad things on them. I’m glad you’re not my friend.

      • philip o’carolan

        your bitter. seak help.

      • Jo-Ellen Wilson

        Philip – You’re ignorant. Seek an education.

      • Kyle B

        Haha this thread is awesome… But gotta say, I agree with David and Jo-Ellen :D

      • Carole

        You guys should do stand-up

      • philip o’carolan

        carole this like a battle of the sexes standup challenge huh! i’m geting a laugh.

    • DRG

      Grammer has been open about being a Republican, so we are once again seeing how the party of “family values” operates when it comes to THEIR family values.
      Hypocrite.

      • @DRG

        Just like a frakking Liberal to compare one dirt bag to millions of people who live upstanding, moral lives. You sir, and I say this in the most sincere way, are an idiot and an a**hole!

      • jack simmons

        Liberal ..read and learn.. a hypocrite is someone who says “its Ok if I do it.. but if you do it its wrong”.. KG never implied nor sermonized about that.. Family values are an idea.. a great one.. but not always easioy follwed.. eveyone understands that

      • madness

        Kelsey Grammer IS ONE OF THE UGLIEST PEOPLE ON EARTH,

      • Stace

        Are you forgetting John Edwards? Mr. LIBERAL John Edwards cheated on his dying wife . . . then lied about it . . . then made other people lie about it . . . then refused to acknowledge his child with his mistress . . . then lied to hisdying wife more about that. I think that maybe liberals would do better to look in a mirror and clean up their own house before they go throwing stones!

    • Karen

      She will! She is obviously a woman of great character and moral judgement. Kelsey blew all his money on strippers, hookers and dope. Then he married Camille who I have often wondered about her roots as well…he leans towards the tramps of the world. She reeled in his addictions, helped him invest his massive earnings and made him the financially successful man he was when he dumped her. And he trashes her? He wouldn’t of had half to give her left to his own devices…that’s documented history.

    • besimon

      Oh no. He’s going to eventually dump the new wife too. He has a history of this type of behavior. Trade her in.

  • Hombre

    Kelsey should have stuck with Camille- nicer jugs!

    • philip o’carolan

      you have alow mind hombre

    • lisa g.

      She’s a butta face!

  • K

    Of course he married a Playboy bunny for her brains.

  • Dgently

    First, i don’t think Camille is any prize, but I’ve lost all respect for Kelsey during this thing. Second, Piers is wrong. Kelsey has not been “contientious, loving father” to his children. A contientious, loving father would not cat around on his children’s mother.

    • linda kalbus

      Please!! Stop giving interviews w/ all these cheaters. Enough already

    • duncan Green

      dgently..how would you know what kind a father Kelsey is?? were you around them?? NO..stop speaking garbage.. a contientious loving father found the love he was not getting at home…good for him :}

      • Peanuts

        For crying out loud it’s “conscientious.” duncan Green, if you are going to be an a**hat, then be one that knows how to spell. Sheesh…

  • Tim

    You were a douche bag at Pelican’s Retreat and you are still a douche bag. I think Camille married that douche bag and I think your new wife married a douche bag too. I think one can draw the line that you sir are a douche bag.

    • philip o’carolan

      tim, don’t you think your being just ashade single minded and bitter.

      • Stace

        I love how any time someone has an opinion different from yours, you think they are bitter. No . . . guess what . . . they just disagree with you. The great part about an opinion is that it only has to be “right” to the person who believes it. Why does everyone have to agree with you and cheaters to not be bitter?

    • duncan Green

      tim your the douchebag..get a live…maybe your wifes a douche too..thats why your so bitter

      • LAJackie

        Get a live what?

      • Just Sayin

        your?????wifes???your????

      • Stace

        educate yourself and come back . . .

    • hyper

      lmao

  • JoshS

    I can’t even watch Frasier reruns anymore knowing what a real-life douchenozzle this guy is.

    • philip o’carolan

      trying to insert ones self into the life of aperson they never even met is sick josh s

      • JoshS

        Never said that whatever… back to your meds, Philip.

      • Peanuts

        @philip – are you the Phillip from Survivor because you sound like a nut.

      • Rolf

        Oh Philip, won’t you please give punctuation and capitalization a chance??

      • philip o’carolan

        rolf it’s a waste of key strokes and concentration. you understood it,didn’t you?

      • madness

        STILL, PHILIP YOU SHOULD LEARN HOW TO WRITE
        .

      • Stace

        HAHAHA. You think that posting on a blog that he will never read is our way of inserting ourselves into a famous person’s life? That’s funny. Good joke.

  • Simon

    He is a big liar. He was a drunk, drug addled man who had NO money despite huge earnings. He drank it and snorted it up his nose. He previously credited Camille for cleaning him up and getting his financial health back. Why is he so bitter? She got half his fortune because the idiot had no prenuptial. He has no one to blame but himself. Oh, and he is doing it all over again. He loves Kayte until she “disappoints” him, then it will be move onto wife number five with animosity now directed at kayte for getting half his money.

    • Terry Combs-Elfry

      Half his fortune? No money? Nothing you say makes any sense at all. If he has NO money, as you say, how come you mention his disappointment at giving away half his fortune???? Do you not see this discrepancy?

      • Rebecca

        Dumba** he’s got to work now because if he didn’t snort his Fraisier $$$ up his nose he had to give it to Camille and his kids in the divorce. He’s broke now because he had to give half of everything to Camille…he’s a douchebag who has to work.

      • Simon

        Yes, it does make sense. When she MET him he had snorted up all his money. HE HAS SAID HE CREDITED HER for cleaning him up and THEN he was able to amass a fortune which he was forced to give her a huge chunk.

  • mia

    this too will end up in the dust bin,she broke up a family n a marriage and karma will hit them both!

    • Rolf

      Yup!!

    • ok

      She didn’t break up their family. He admitted that the marriage was over and instead of being man enough to be honest with his wife right away he led her on and then blindsided her. Kelsey is no innocent who got led astray.

  • April

    So Kelsey, Camille married you because of “Frasier?” Why did YOU marry HER? Why did you marry some of your former wives? You seemed to have a knack for ‘goldiggers.” That says more about you then it does them.

    • Tricia

      Is Camille really a “gold digger”? Even Kelsey has admitted he was broke and a mess when they got married.

      • Monty

        Frasier to this day is a cash cow, raking it in on syndication. He may not have had millions, but he was still getting checks every few weeks.

    • besimon

      April, I was thinking this too. He makes it sound like she trapped him or forced him to marry her. I believe he was a grown man when he married her.

  • Simon

    Oh how bout him talking about his first date with Kayte being on Christmas while he was still married? Ummm, hey “great Dad” why weren’t you home with your young children on Christmas? What a douche.

    • Karen

      You are so right Simon and the fact this woman accepted that date knowing fully well he was a married man with children at home, speaks volume’s about her morals and campassion for the innocent. Won’t bother her a bit to take half his cash.

      • Rebecca

        She pursued him..followed him..predator. Women are special aren’t they.

  • philip o’carolan

    i think,like myself that nearly everybody is under the imppression that kelsey is in fact dr. crane [frasier.] when anyone has a extremley sucsesfull character as an actor like kelsey has it becomes nearley impossible to separate one from the other and in the kelsey/frasier conundrum it may be the apex of them all. in my mind i have a difficult time trying to figure out witch one i want to know.they both seem to be quite friendly fellows.

  • Amanda

    I used to like Kelsey but the fact is that he cheated on her. At one point she tried to get into her aparment in New York only to be denied because another woman was using her name “Mrs. Gramer” to acess the apartment with Kelsey.

  • philip o’carolan

    i just read some of the other comments. most of these people don’t seem to understand eetremely rich and famous celebrities. “HOLLYWOOD PEOPLE” different from the warehouse,bookstore,hardware store etc.
