Kelsey Grammer's Daughter Spencer Reveals Real Story Behind Being Stabbed Through the Hand During NYC Knife Attack

Kelsey Grammer‘s daughter Spencer Grammer is speaking out and sharing the exact details about what happened when she was stabbed in New York City back in July of 2020 after many publications “got [details] wrong.”

At the time, TMZ reported that Spencer, who is now 39 years old, and a friend were dining at the restaurant The Black Ant in the East Village in late July 2020. Just as the restaurant was about to close at midnight, a man showed up and demanded entry, but he was turned away as closing time was approaching. The man, who witnesses believed was drunk, reportedly went into a rage and took out a knife. He then started “hacking away in a full-on brawl with guests and employees,” according to the outlet.

The site then reported that Spencer and her friend were both “slashed” by the attacker while trying to get the man off people.

However, Spencer is now revealing the truth about what happened.

“I had a severe hand injury,” Spencer told People. “I haven’t really talked about it before. But everybody else that wrote about it at the time got it wrong.” She was stabbed through the hand and suffered injury to her median nerve and two tendons, which were severed.

She’s now setting the record straight, saying, “I tried to alleviate a fight.”

According to People, “She and a friend had been in the East Village when they saw a fight break out between two people — reportedly between a restaurant patron and an intoxicated passerby looking to be served. When their argument escalated, she and the friend did their best to help calm things down.”

She added that it’s now all a blur. “I honestly shouldn’t have tried to help. But there wasn’t a knife involved to begin with. It was like any normal fight, basically.”

She added, “I didn’t see the person holding the knife, so it’s difficult to say what happened really. Other people said what they saw, so everything revolved around eyewitness testimony.”

“I doubt they’ll ever arrest whomever did it,” she added about it still being investigated. “The crazy thing is, things like that happen so quickly. It all happened in a matter of minutes.”

“I know that within five minutes your whole life can change, so it’s better to be safe than sorry,” Spencer added.

“I think you’re just one of those people who runs to help or you don’t,” she added. “It’s just in you. And I probably would do that same thing again if I went back in time. Although it has affected my life pretty deeply.”

Spencer had to undergo surgery to repair the damage done to her nerves.

“My son had to tie my shoes for six months,” she said of her son Emmett, 11. “I’m only now at peace with being able to work again and perform at the productivity level I’d like to. I had to go through crazy rehab after my surgery.” She did previously speak out about the attack, but it was not in depth.

If you don’t know, Spencer is starring in a new movie with her dad! The 12 Days of Christmas Eve will air on Lifetime this Friday.
