Camille Grammer put ex-husband Kelsey Grammer on blast on Instagram on Monday after the famed Fraiser actor failed to reach out to their daughter, Mason Grammer, on her 25th birthday.
Before also taking aim at Kelsey’s new wife (and one-time mistress), Kayte Walsh, 47, the 58-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, who also shares son Jude Grammer, 22, with Kelsey, 71, accused her former partner of neglecting their child while also sharing her reaction and claiming he ditched his old family for his new family, which includes four children with Kayte.
“A daughter should never have to wonder whether her father remembers her birthday. Three days later, and still not a call or a text,” Camille began on October 26. “You can be a beloved actor to the world, but being a father is a role that requires showing up when the cameras are off. Fame, accolades, and public admiration mean very little if you neglect the people who should matter most.”
“Some wounds come not from what is said, but from the silence,” she continued. “A mother never stops hurting when her child is hurt. 25 is a milestone birthday. Sometimes the silence is deafening, and the disappointment speaks volumes.”
Camille then added Mason’s reaction, revealing that her oldest child “kept checking her phone all weekend, hoping her father had called, even from an unfamiliar number or that his message had somehow ended up in her spam folder.”
“She even checked there, searching for any sign that he had reached out,” Camille shared, along with a throwback photo of Kelsey holding Mason with a clown drawn over his face.
Camille also took aim at Kelsey in a couple of comments to fans.
“Ditched old family for his new family. Typical,” one person wrote.
“That is exactly what he did,” Camille agreed.
Another person said, “That’s right!! Call out deadbeat fathers!! It’s not the mother’s responsibility to keep the bad father’s name intact.”
“Agreed. I have been silent for too long on this topic,” Camille replied.
Then, in a comment of her own, Camille shared some words for Kayte.
“A stepmother should want to encourage a healthy, loving relationship between a father and his daughter. Sadly, from my perspective, that hasn’t been Mason’s experience,” she revealed. “Instead, she has felt increasingly excluded from her father’s life and home. No matter the adult relationships involved, a daughter deserves to feel welcomed, respected, and loved—not pushed to the sidelines. A 25th birthday should be a celebration of love, not another reminder of the distance between a father and his child.”
Camille Grammer appeared in a full-time role on the first two seasons of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and has made several guest and friend appearances in the seasons since.
