In a surprising Twitter exchange, actress Kirstie Alley found herself at odds with CNN after she downplayed the severity of COVID-19 deaths. On Friday, Alley criticized CNN’s reporting, suggesting that their focus on the pandemic instills fear. She tweeted, “Fear of dying is their mantra,” expressing dismay over her friends who are fearful of the virus.
In response, CNN’s public relations account fired back with a sharp retort, reminding Alley of the gravity of the situation: “Kirstie, you are welcome to change the channel – just like countless viewers did every time ‘Veronica’s Closet’ came on TV. But don’t downplay the loss of nearly 230K American lives. And please, wear a mask.”
Alley, undeterred, shot back, “Meow …if only you paid as much attention to Joe Biden’s alleged corrupt business dealings as a TV show that was rated top ten in 1997….. guess you got that wrong too.”
While Alley’s initial tweet garnered over 23,000 retweets and 74,000 likes, CNN’s reply received over 14,000 retweets and more than 105,000 likes. Reactions were mixed, with some defending Alley, while others condemned her remarks, highlighting the harsh reality of the pandemic.
Alley has also recently made headlines for her support of Trump’s re-election, claiming she appreciates him for “not being a politician.” Her previous endorsement in 2016 has drawn criticism, and she expressed frustration at the backlash she faced for sharing her views.
