Kelsey Grammer admits romancing new wife 6 months before dumping Camille

Kelsey Grammer has repeatedly shown himself to be a petty vindictive jerk by throwing his mistress, now fourth wife, in his ex wife’s face at every turn. On the first season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, we saw Kelsey invite then-wife of 13 years, Camille, to New York to be his date at the Tony Awards in 2010. Only Kelsey had already been seeing his mistress at that point, and she had been living with him while his wife and two kids were away in LA. Kelsey then proceeded to dump Camille after making her play the role of wife one last time, for his career. He even made an obnoxious veiled reference to his mistress in a toast shown on RHOBH. He actually toasted “to love” in front of Camille’s friends and said “I’m particularly thrilled with the love I’m getting from the British people.”

Well on last night’s Jimmy Kimmel, Kelsey established the timeline for his romance with his now fourth wife, a British flight attendant 27 years younger than he is. He admitted that he first met her in December, 2009, around Christmastime, which was a full six months away from the June 13th 2010 Tony Awards, when he finally broke the news to Camille.

On meeting Kayte
We actually met in the air on a plane to England. It was very romantic, she was working on the plane. We went out for coffee several days later and had this magical night in the snow in London around Christmastime. It was two years ago, so…

On what friends and family say about his marriage
Most of them say ‘it’s about time, because you’re a marrying kind of guy.’

On what he got Kayte for Christmas
Several things, mostly jewelry.

Later, Kelsey showed a present that Kayte gave him, some kind of vintage poster for the movie Viva Las Vegas. He also said that her pet name for him was “Pop,” and not for obvious reasons but because he likes to make popcorn. At least she doesn’t call him “daddy.”

Kelsey has admitted setting up Camille to do Real Housewives as a “parting gift,” even though it took him months to reveal the nature of that gift. So I’m not surprised to hear that he had something going with Kayte a full six months before he told Camille they were over.

This led me to wonder if Kelsey possibly booked his gig in New York doing La Cage Aux Faux after he claims to have met Kayte. Kelsey was announced as the lead in early December, 2009, which means he lined up a much younger girlfriend/new wife right around the time he decided to leave his family for “work.” He made sure to test the waters with his jump off before severing ties with the wife who stood by him for over a decade. I can’t feel too bad for Camille, though. All the financial details aren’t worked out in her divorce yet, but she’ll probably get at least $50 million.
