Kelsey Grammer took yet another jab at ex-wife Camille on Piers Morgan Tonight, saying he thought she "married me because I was Frasier."

The Emmy-winning star of TV shows such as Cheers and Frazier told Morgan that the stint on Bravo's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was his "parting gift" to his ex, who he's currently in a nasty custody battle with after their divorce following 14 years of marriage.

Grammer said of the Real Housewives: "Whether or not it worked well for her doesn't matter -- it was my way of saying, 'Look, you always wanted to be famous. Here you go.' "

Grammer’s public breakup with Camille was chronicled throughout her appearance on the reality show; he said that while reality TV isn't a particularly proud path to stardom, the fame that comes with it was what Camille most craved.

"You still get all those things that come along for the ride, which I think is what she was most interested in," he said.

In October 2010, Kelsey announced he’d found a new love -- Virgin Atlantic flight attendant Kayte Walsh, who was pregnant with their child; sadly, the couple suffered a miscarriage, but became engaged in December 2010 and wed in February 2011.

Grammer also talked politics with Morgan, saying he fully supports same sex marriage.

"I think marriage is up to two people that love each other, and if you find a church that you want to get married in, you go right ahead." Grammer said.

Grammer's new show Boss premieres on Starz on Friday, October 21 at 10/9c.

It's over. You're divorced. MOVE ON! There's no good reason to keep speaking eachothers names. It makes you look foolish.

And Grammar married Camille because she was young good looking blonde. He's a pervert and will toss this one to the curb when a better looking one comes along. This man doesn't know what commitment is.

Well, DUH! Why else would someone as young & HOT as Camille want a man whose been bald and OLD since his days on “Cheers”? As the old saying goes, “It must be the money 'cause it’s not your face!” I’m sure new wife feels the same!

Digging his career into the ground one interview at a time. He knocked up a flight attendant who knew he was married. And he has the nerve to complain about Camille? Idiot.
