Kelsey Grammer Bails On Piers Morgan Interview Due To Photo Of Estranged Ex-Wife Camille
Piers Morgan announced "Boss" actor Kelsey Grammer stormed off the set of his CNN show, "Piers Morgan Tonight," on Wednesday, just moments prior to their scheduled interview. The reason for Grammer's impetuous exit? He caught wind that a photograph of his estranged ex-wife Camille was displayed to viewers as the show commenced.
"Kelsey Grammer was supposed to be on my show, but he ran out of the building. Strange," Morgan tweeted to his followers on Wednesday.
After digesting the situation, the British host later wrote, "So, Kelsey Grammer saw a photo of his ex-wife Camille in the open of our show and legged it. Extraordinary. Never had this happen before ... I like Kelsey Grammer personally, but this was a shockingly unprofessional thing to do. I wasn't even going to mention his ex-wife."
Stan Rosenfield, Grammer's publicist, fired back at Morgan, telling the Hollywood Reporter, "Piers needs to take responsibility for what he did to Kelsey. It's called accountability."
Grammer was married to Camille for 13 years. The end of their bitter relationship was documented on the first season of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
In a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey for her show "Oprah's Next Chapter," Grammer addressed his divorce to Camille, revealing, "I don't want to say a lot of bad things, but some very bad things were said. Some threats were made, and some extremely unacceptable behavior took place in front of the children, which makes it impossible for us to pretend that we can be civil. It needs to be handled by other people."
According to Gossip website TMZ, Camille left the relationship a very wealthy woman. The publication reported that the Beverly Hills housewife deserves everything she received in the divorce settlement because when she married the "Frasier" actor in 1996, he was pretty much broke.
"Pretty shocking, considering he had earned 'Cheers' and 'Frasier' money. But bad decisions and a drug problem nearly sent Kelsey to the poor house," the website wrote. "We're told Camille righted the ship and managed the money to where they now have tens of millions to split."
Grammer is currently married to Kayte Walsh, the couple welcomed a daughter together in July.
