The star’s bizarre antics at a health spa have some worried that she’s lost her grip on reality. Jackie Brygel reports.
With her eating out of control again, Kirstie Alley checked into a ritzy California fat farm. But according to fellow guests, the 90kg-plus actress made a mockery of the facility’s strict rules on dieting and exercise.
With her new reality TV show Kirstie Alley’s Big Life underway, the 59-year-old actress is desperate to make good on her promise to lose weight. But sources at the exclusive Cal-a-Vie health spa say she refused to work up a sweat, ordered desserts in her room and even flirted with kitchen staff in a seemingly desperate bid to satisfy her hunger.
The former Cheers star, who famously shed 34kg on the Jenny Craig plan, only to put it all back on — and more — didn’t get off to the best start at the $9000-a-week spa. When she discovered she couldn’t squeeze into the spa’s workout gear, she was in no mood to exercise.
“Kirstie was the heaviest of the 21 women there,” a spa insider told the US magazine National Enquirer.
“The facility provides their guests with grey sweatpants, grey shorts, grey T-shirts and other workout gear, but poor Kirstie was too big for the complimentary clothes and stuck out like a sore thumb as she lumbered around in black sweats and oversized shirts.”
While guests are expected to adhere to a daily diet of 5000kJ, it seems Kirstie had other ideas. She did everything from trying to order desserts from the privacy of her room, to flirting with the kitchen staff in an attempt to obtain larger meal portions.
“When fish tacos were served for lunch one day, Kirstie complained she didn’t like the way the food was cooked. But she ate it and then went back to ask for more,” says the source.
“Another time, she flirted with the chef because she wanted two servings of lasagne. He just laughed and said no.
“Kirstie was caught whispering to the chef about the desserts she had ordered to her room, while other guests looked on in horror.”
