In 1995, Grammer was accused of raping his child's underage babysitter. A grand jury chose not to indict the actor, stating: "The young woman's delay of more than a year in pressing charges against Mr. Grammer made it difficult to support her claim."

Once again, not a drag queen.

[-] Newguy@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Dang, makes sense

Kelsey Grammar is ok with fascism. Good to know. That’s the end of the conversation. He can pretend to be “canceled” but by his own words… this shit happens. Dood grew up in the Caribbean and still talks shit on America…

Speaking more broadly about American politics, Grammer added, “I don’t think Washington did us any favors for the last 50, 60 years—I think they’ve all been sort of the same party, the same bunch of clowns, the same bunch of really unpleasant people. And I don’t think they’ve been helping anybody but themselves.”

"I want a whole new clown, one so much more unpleasant and self-serving than what we've had that it'll lower the bar right into the ground for all other unpleasant self-serving clowns."

-the rest of the cut off interview, probably

Only plays a smart person on tv.

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Roseanne isn't the only one that can be dumb enough to do this!

Kelsey may play a smart character on the tv, but none of that writing appears to have rubbed off on him.

[-] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 25 points 9 months ago

Well, I was actually thinking I'd watch the new series but...very much not now.

[-] Squizzy@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

It's okay, he's the same old Frasier pretty easily, the surrounding characters could come from any other sitcom in the last 15-20 years.

[-] Lenny@lemmy.zip 21 points 9 months ago

I saw a thumbnail for the new Fraiser the other day and for a split second I forgot he was a total POS and got excited, then I remembered. So many 90s/00s movies and shows ruined in the last decade, it sucks.

Don't be surprised. He supported George W. as well.

[-] Additional_Prune@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

I heard from some people who catered a show of his that he's a weird drunk. I don't know if that's true, but I do know now that he's a huge asshole.

[-] ChojinDSL@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 9 months ago

People need to stop caring so much about actor's opinions. I generally assume that most successful actors are vapid assholes, which seems to be a safe assumption considering their environment. As such I feel their opinions on stuff is completely irrelevant.

Yet somehow, in the USA at least, people give their opinions the same weight as if it was some political expert or whatever.

Human brain no good at knowing face on tv is not deeply valued member of tribe.

[-] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

I don't value his opinion. But I do decide what my money and attention will support.

[-] ulkesh@beehaw.org 10 points 9 months ago

Well that’s disappointing.

[-] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 8 points 9 months ago

looks like someone is going to have a bumpy reboot.

[-] w2tpmf@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

looks like someone is going to have a bumpy reboot.
