Kelsey Grammer’s Daughter Greer Reveals 12-Year Estrangement: ‘I Didn’t Know My Dad Till I Was 16’
LOS ANGELES, CA – Greer Grammer, daughter of “Frasier” star Kelsey Grammer, is setting the record straight about her relationship with her famous father. In a recent podcast appearance on “Pretty Basic,” the 33-year-old actress revealed she was estranged from Kelsey Grammer for twelve years, starting when she was just four years old.
“The biggest misconception about me…is that I didn’t know my dad till I was 16,” Grammer said. “My dad left when I was 4, and then I didn’t meet him again till I was 16.”
Grammer recalled a brief encounter at a Blockbuster store when she was 11, but felt too overwhelmed to approach him. The two reconnected when Greer was 16 at a Christmas tree lot where she was doing community service. Grammer stated that Kelsey approached her and she told him “I know who you are. Duh”. She continued by saying that they went to lunch the next week and that’s when their relationship started.
The “Awkward” alum described the moment Kelsey, accompanied by then-wife Camille Grammer and their daughter Mason, approached her. According to Greer, the encounter happened while she was working at a Christmas tree lot and made her coworkers uncomfortable, but she decided to stay since she was a child and had nothing to be ashamed about.
Grammer has vague memories of going to “Frasier” tapings as a small child and attending a party at his house.
Kelsey Grammer has acknowledged he wasn’t as present with his older children, including Greer and his eldest daughter, Spencer, whom he shares with Doreen Alderman. “I have neglected a couple of the kids in my life, especially the first two,” Grammer told People Magazine in May. “I’m trying to make up for a little of it now. I’m still their dad, so you can always have [a] chance to show up.”
Beyond Spencer and Greer, Kelsey Grammer has eight children: Spencer, Mason, Jude, Faith, Gabriel, James, and the recently born Christopher. He welcomed Christopher with his current wife, Kayte Walsh.
