Kelsey Grammer Storms Off 'Piers Morgan Tonight' to Avoid Discussing Ex-Wife
He's a 'Tiresome Diva,' Claimed Morgan in Response
Kelsey Grammer left Piers Morgan's show just moments before the interview was to commence because the he didn't like the opening. Right before the "Boss" actor was to be interviewed Wednesday, a picture was shown that upset him, and he promptly stormed out of the studio.
Before Kelsey Grammer was to appear, the Piers Morgan show ran a picture of Camille Grammer, the "Frasier" actor's ex-wife. Grammer has been infamously stubborn refusing discuss his nasty divorce- he wouldn't even say her name during an interview with Oprah on the OWN network last month- and this time was no different.
"Kelsey Grammer was supposed to be on my show now but ran out of the building. Strange," Morgan tweeted following the incident. However, not long after, he realized why Grammer left.

"So, Kelsey saw a photo of his ex wife Camille in the open to our show and legged it. Extraordinary. Never had this happen before. … I like Kelsey personally, but this was a shockingly unprofessional thing to do. I wasn't even going to mention his ex-wife!" the television personality added.
Though Grammer didn't address the incident personally, he did have a representative mention that Morgan's lack of "accountability" was very irresponsible.
"Piers needs to take responsibility for what he did to Kelsey. It's called accountability," the actor's rep, Stan Rosenfield, told Omg!
Morgan continued to take shots at Grammer Thursday, calling him a "tiresome diva" and implying other things.
"I'll be on Jimmy Fallon tonight- and relax Jimmy, unlike my guest Mr. Grammer last night, I won't run away," he tweeted.
Grammer and his third wife Camille split in 2010 after 13 years of marriage. It was later revealed that he began an affair with Kate Walsh, his current wife, six months before he was officially divorced. His excuse was that the marriage was over "as soon as it began."
"I was not in it, or happy in it, for a long time. It was pretty much over as soon as it began," he told Oprah Winfrey.
Surprisingly, Grammer has been on Piers Morgan Tonight in the past, where he discussed his ex-wife Camille, whom he said "married me because I was Frasier."
