Kelsey Grammer says the rumor that he didn't fly home or call his kids on Father's Day is false and "malicious," PopEater reports. "The truth is I did call my kids that evening," Grammer wrote on his website. Mason, 8, and Jude, 5, are the actor's kids with his third wife, Camille Donatacci, from whom he's splitting after 13 years of marriage. TMZ has suggested that the Father's Day incident—or nonincident—was the last straw for Donatacci.

"Camille and I had been discussing the possibility of a separation for some time before all this happened," Grammer wrote. "She finally decided she should file. I respect her for this decision." (More Kelsey Grammer stories.)
