Kelsey Grammer Divorce Features Tweeting and Blogging
TV’s Frasier Crane probably wouldn’t have used Twitter, but the actor who played him, Kelsey Grammer, is using the social media platform to share news and thoughts on his ongoing divorce from his wife and former Playboy Playmate Camille.
With celebrities using social media to bypass the traditional media and engage directly with their fans, it shouldn’t be a surprise when a celebrity shares their thoughts on a major life event.
Kelsey Grammer, the star of TV shows like “Cheers” and “Frasier,” isn’t surprising many, then, as the latest celeb to give his own take on the rumors by broadcasting his thoughts online. He even went so far as to confirm rumors of his divorce from wife Camille via Twitter, according to E News.
“Hello everyone thank you for ur support and Yes it’s TRUE Camille and I are Divorcing I ask U 2 respect our privacy in these difficult,” the Grammer tweeted recently.
Grammer’s public representative followed up with a statement that included a few more periods and completed words. “Kelsey and Camille value privacy. They understand that private lives sometimes get played out in public but ask on this occasion that their privacy—and the privacy of their children—be respected.”
Grammer would take it a step further by blogging on a fan site about the divorce, attempting to set the record straight about various rumors that had been circling online celebrity news sources, which are reporting that he didn’t call his children on Father’s Day, and that he was seen out on the town canoodling with a woman that was not his wife.
“I have had a very interesting week to say the least,” he wrote.
Grammer listed in some detail his activities on Father’s Day as a way to say that he had, in fact, attempted to speak to his children on the holiday. He also that the woman that he was seen out with was actually his daughter.
“I do take issue with the characterization that we were smooching but surely if that were the case then even I admit it might be newsworthy in some fashion,” he said of the botched reports about a tryst with a mystery woman.
Kelsey and Camille were married for 13 years before the divorce proceedings started. Camille was the one to ultimately file the divorce papers, though the couple had discussed the possibility already. She noted that irreconcilable differences were the cause for the divorce. She is seeking primary custody of the couple’s children, who are 8 and 5-years-old.
This is Grammer’s third marriage. He and Camille met on a blind date in 1996. They married a year later. She is a former Club MTV dancer and Playboy model. She will be a figure in the upcoming reality show Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and Grammer is currently starring in a Broadway production of La Cage Aux Folles.
As a couple, they own homes in New York, Colorado, Malibu and Maui.
