Greer Grammer, the daughter of actor Kelsey Grammer, recently opened up about her complicated relationship with her father, clarifying misconceptions surrounding their time apart. During an appearance on the Pretty Basic podcast, Greer shared that many perceive her as a “nepobaby” due to her father’s fame, but this belief overlooks the reality of her upbringing.
Greer revealed that her father left when she was just four years old, leading to a significant 12-year estrangement. “The biggest misconception about me—and I never know how to talk about it except to just trauma dump—is that I didn’t know my dad till I was 16,” she said. Despite a brief encounter at a Blockbuster when she was 11, Greer admitted she wasn’t ready to speak with him and chose to avoid the confrontation.
Their first meaningful reunion took place when Greer was 16, during a chance meeting at a Christmas tree lot in Malibu, where she was fulfilling community service requirements. This pivotal moment marked the start of their reconnection, revealing a deeper narrative behind her relationship with her father than what might be assumed from the outside.
Greer’s candid reflections shed light on the complexities of familial relationships, particularly in the context of fame, and underscore the importance of understanding individual circumstances rather than making assumptions based on appearances.
