Kirstie in hiding – ‘My fat shame’

Kirstie Alley has become a virtual recluse in her Beverly Hills home, filled with shame and embarrassment about gaining back all the weight she lost. Hitting the scales at 130 kilos again, the distraught star has fallen off the weight loss wagon in spectacular fashion, following a string of humiliating romantic disasters.

Insiders says she is now trapped in a hellish cycle of binge eating and self-pity that has even isolated her from her closest friends.

Kirstie has been conspicuously absent from the public eye since April, preferring to stay at home, where friends believe she prepares lavish meals for herself in a bid to stave off the pain of failure and rejection.

Terrified of being seen, it is thought she has cut most of her good friends out of her life, refusing invitations to go out and only communicating over the phone.
