There’s no shortage of celebrities likeKirstie Alleywho’ve managed to get blackballed from Hollywood for various reasons.
To be clear, whatreallyhappened to Alley is pretty complicated.
So without further ado, here’s what really happened to Kirstie Alley.
Well, in a way.
“I’m from Wichita, Kansas,” she told the magazine.
“That’s where I was born and raised.
Your dreams and aspirations can be so small.”
“I would always put the kibosh on any of my dreams,” she continued.
“That, to me, is sort of a Midwest thing.”
How could I possibly think that?'"
Still, Alleydiddare to think and dream that she’d become a star, and it happened.
As Alley toldParade, Star Trekwasn’t just her firstbigrole, it was her first role at all.
“I went from nothing to that,” she said.
That was a big leap because remember it was 1981 and that was a three million dollar film."
On the contrary, Alley has been open and honest about her struggles with drugs.
“The truth of how I escaped Kansas is being high,” she revealed.
In a 2019tweet, Alley revealed that she put an end to her drug problems.
I buy and arrange my own flowers as a gift to MYSELF. "
Honestly, whatever works for her!
“I wish I could go back and change everything, but I cannot.”
“I can understand why Kirstie doesn’t want to talk with me,” she continued.
Alley never responded to White, but it’s clear that night has haunted her for years.
But in 2014, her own show,Kirstie,actually got canceled after only one season.
In an interview withParade,Alley herself expressed dismay at the show being canceled.
“I wish they’d had given it more time,” she lamented.
Alas, it didn’t.
Family was likely always important to Alley, but one event made it even more so.
Alley took toTwitterto share the happy news that she wasofficiallya grandma.
“Yes this is my secret happy news as promised…Welcome Waylon Tripp Parker.”
But Alley doesn’t think her religious choices should be as controversial as they are.
Speaking toEntertainment Tonight,Alley explained her choice to stand by Cruise and Scientology as a whole.
Clearly, Alley has no remorse for her beliefs and is proud of her church.
In an interview withParade,Alley explained that she was constantly confused by how her bodygained weightso easily.
Additionally, Alley added that she’d had to learn how to take better care of herself.
I’ve gotten a little more responsible," she continued.
And what, exactly, was the most important lesson Alley learned?
Hey, balance is key.
In November of 2017, Alley took to Twitter to let out her frustrations.
“What the hell is happening,” Alleytweeted.
Can’t confront your accuser?
This is bulls**t. And it hurts the real victims of abuse and innocent people."
Celebrity gossip columnist Perez Hilton even told Alley she was going to hell for what she said in atweet.
And while she certainly excelled during that time, things slowed down for Alley a bit in the 2000s.
Alley landed a role in the Ryan Murphy seriesScream Queensfor its second season.
Additionally, Fox explained their choice in casting Alley, praising her many accomplishments.
For the most part,Hollywood rejected Trump.
But Kirstie Alley praised him, and voted for him in 2016 and 2020.
He gets things done quickly and he will turn the economy around quickly."
In particular, Alley has one ongoing feud with a former Scientologist that will seemingly never die.
“It was not done out of real concern.”
Remini, for her part, hasn’t minced words about Alley, either.
“You’re spreading false/defamatory info at the demand of your cult.”
Alley and Remini might just be enemies forever.
And in 2020, that meant criticizing news channels for how they covered the global coronavirus pandemic.
Specifically, Alley took to Twitter to accuse CNN of fear-mongering in October of 2020.
IF YOU TOO WANT TO LIVE IN TERROR WATCH CNN!!
FEAR OF DYING IS THEIR MANTRA!
Yeah, she wasn’t exactly pleased with the online grid.
Interestingly enough, CNN had a pretty scathing response.
“But don’t downplay the loss of nearly 230K American lives.
And yo, wear a mask.”
So, what was the weirdest part of 2020?
Probably the Kirstie Alley vs. CNN Twitter feud.
