Greer Grammer, daughter of Kelsey Grammer, shared some insights about her relationship with her estranged father.
The actress was reunited with her father at the age of 16 after a 12-year estrangement.
In a latest podcast episode of Pretty basiche Strange The star revealed what she considered the “meanest thing” her father had said to her after their time apart.
“[Grammer] It was always my last name. I guess my dad asked my mom (he told me later), but he said, ‘I told your mom… I said it would be better for you not to have my last name.’ It would be easier for you to grow up,'” Greer said.
She added: “I think I was like 19 when he told me that and I started sobbing, because to me that was the meanest thing you could say to someone, like… ‘I knew I wasn’t going to be in your life, so I told my mom it would probably be easier for you not to have my last name.'”
However, he admitted the suggestion was “fair” and said his father “wasn’t wrong.”
Elsewhere in the podcast, Greer said the biggest misconception about her was the fact that she didn’t meet her father until she was 16. Kelsey split from Greer’s mother, hairstylist Barrie Buckner, when Greer was 4 years old.
