Kelsey Grammer is no longer holding back and unleashed his fury against his ex-wife Camille Grammer. 

While doing an interview with Graham Bensinger, Kelsey, 64, slammed his former wife Camille, 51. He called the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star 'pathetic' and added, "Honestly, I don’t really talk about her very much, because so much of her life is spent talking about me and I just think it’s sort of pathetic".

He also opened up about a very intense moment in their marriage and said, "A month after I had a heart attack my mother died — 12 years ago now — the day of my mother’s funeral, my third wife basically had an explosion about something. And she started telling me, ‘I’m out of this, I’m out of here. I want a divorce, blah, blah blah, which we’d had the same conversation for eight years, and it was tiresome". 

He revealed that at that very moment he realized that he was done with their relationship. During the same interview, Kelsey also got candid about his amazing fourth and current wife, Kayte Walsh. The 'Frasier' star compared Kayte to Camille and said the former "had a little more perspective" and is a "wise and whole person".

The former couple, Kelsey and Camille, share two children together: daughter Mason, 17, and son Jude, 14. 

In 2011, Kelsey had spoken to Piers Morgan on his CNN show and had said the 'Real Housewives' was his 'parting gift' to Camille. "It was my way of saying, 'Look, you always wanted to be famous. Here you go'". He added that he knew their 13-year marriage was coming to an end before she had agreed to be on the reality show. 

"I remember having one conversation where I said, 'Well, don't worry about it. After the first season, you can do the Divorced Wives of Beverly Hills next season," Kelsey had said.
