TMZ broke the story ... Camille Grammer filed for divorce yesterday, citing "irreconcilable differences."

Sources connected with the couple tell TMZ ... the 13-year marriage started crumbling when Kelsey moved to New York earlier this year to star in "La Cage Aux Folles" on Broadway.

Camille stayed with their two kids in L.A. and flew back and forth to visit him, but sources say it became apparent "Kelsey loved New York, his friends and his freedom more than his marriage."

We're told the tipping point for Camille was Father's Day, when Kelsey was 2,475 air miles away from his family and didn't call his kids.

As one source said, "She doesn't know what Kelsey is doing in New York, but he's made it pretty clear he wants nothing to do with marriage anymore," adding, "She didn't see it coming."

3. um, kids call DAD on Father's Day, Mom.

4. That's how it always worked in my family.

5. She probably was waiting for an excuse because he is an ass

[rpannier]

8. That was my first thought

I call my father on Father's Day
And I have less money than she does and my call is more expensive (Korea-US) than hers

12. Does your father's assistant always put your calls through?

9. Bingo.

What a lame excuse.

14. Sounds like mom is blaming dad for not making Father's Day happen. That's her job, not his.

Woman files for divorce, issues press release claiming her failure to get the kids to call him on Father's Day was his fault.

6. He's an asshole but why should HE have to call his kids on Father's Day?

Maybe she just didn't want to tell the truth about the divorce, like she's tired of some weird kinky shit he's into (and looking at him you just know he is).

16. Only know Grammer from TV, so I was just wondering --

-- what it is that makes him such an asshole? Is it because he is a conservative? But surely we all have "good" conservatives in our lives (this IS primarily a two-party country, after all, with the nation's allegiences divided fairly evenly down the middle) so what is it, specifically, that makes Grammer such a creep?

19. Maybe he was ignoring the kids and this is just an excuse.

n/t

7. on father's day your kids are supposed to call you.

my granddaughter calls my husband on father's day and she's not a blood relative. she's the daughter of the son i had with my first husband.
