Kelsey Grammer has provoked a barrage of criticism by taking his three-month-old daughter to a Halloween party at Los Angeles’ notorious Playboy Mansion on the weekend.
Kelsey, 57, and his wife Kayte, 32, arrived at Hugh Hefner’s annual bash with baby Faith in tow.
They reportedly partied until the early hours of the morning, leaving the newborn to sleep in her bassinette at a table next to socialite and party girl Paris Hilton.
The baby’s presence raised eyebrows all round, with one Playboy Playmate tweeting: “Why the hell does Kelsey Grammer have a newborn baby at the Mansion party?”
Kelsey’s ex-wife Camille Grammer — who has two children with the actor — was similarly horrified, tweeting: “Oh my God, this cannot be true!”
Kelsey’s spokesman has played down the incident, saying the actor didn’t stay at the party long and insisting the music wasn’t loud when Faith was present.
“I am not sure why this is a story,” the spokesman told the Mail Online. “People have taken their infant children out with them since the beginning of time. They didn’t stay long, and left before it got too noisy.”
Kelsey has been criticised for not acting his age in recent months. He married Kayte, who is 25 years his junior, last year, and is frequently photographed sporting fake tan and youthful clothes.
He and Kayte welcomed baby Faith in July. They were expecting twins, but the other baby died in the womb.
