Greer Grammer Rejects 'Nepo Baby' Label, Says She Barely Knew Kelsey Until Age 16

Her podcast account reframes assumptions about her career rooted in her last name.

Overview

  • On the Pretty Basic podcast, the Awkward alum, 33, said she and Kelsey Grammer were estranged for most of her childhood and did not form a relationship until she was 16.
  • She recalled a brief encounter at 11 when she saw him in a Blockbuster and ran away, describing only a few early memories before years without contact.
  • The pair reconnected after a chance meeting at a Malibu Christmas tree lot, exchanged numbers, and met for lunch the following week.
  • Grammer said she is in therapy to process the long estrangement, noting her father paid for her college but that she has no trust fund.
  • Coverage places her remarks alongside Kelsey Grammer’s May admission that he had neglected some older children and reports that he welcomed another child this year with wife Kayte Walsh.
