Mason Grammer hit a milestone on October 24, and her mom Camille spent the following days waiting for a birthday call that she says never came from Mason’s dad, Kelsey Grammer. On Monday, Camille posted childhood photos with a clown emoji over Kelsey’s face and wrote that three days had passed without a call or text. Her message was blunt: being a father is a role that requires showing up when the cameras are off, not just on them.
The post didn’t stay polite. In the comments, Camille criticized Kelsey’s wife, Kayte Walsh, saying Mason feels excluded from her father’s life. Kelsey’s rep didn’t immediately respond to Page Six. The history here runs deep: Camille and Kelsey were married from 1997 to 2011 and share Mason and son Jude, 22. Mason has said before that her dad wasn’t around much after the divorce, and Camille claimed in May that the exes don’t co-parent and haven’t spoken in 14 years.
Now the internet is doing what it always does when family business goes public. Some people think a birthday post is not where you air out parental grievances. Others think a 25th birthday with zero contact says everything about a pattern. We’re taking both sides on air, so let’s hear yours.
What do you think: should Camille have kept this off social media, or did she have every right to say it?
