Kirstie Alley weight loss claims 'misleading'

GlobalPost

Kirstie Alley is being sued by an angry dieter, who has accused the former “Cheers” star of lying about how she lost 100 pounds.

Alley, who has fought a very public battle against the bulge, promotes a weight-loss product called Organic Liaison, which she claims helped her lose the fat rolls, E! Online reported.

Not true, says Marina Abramyan, who uses the product and has filed a class action lawsuit against Alley and Organic Liaison for “false and misleading advertising.”

Abramyan claims Alley lost the weight through vigorous exercise on “Dancing With The Stars” last year and a strict diet.

In other words, Alley danced her butt off.

Alley's claims of becoming a “size 6 and still counting” were not the result of taking diet supplements, but rather the result of an "above average exercise regimen and extremely low calorie diet,” Abramyan said, according to a document purported to be a copy of the lawsuit filed in a Californian court on Friday.

TMZ said Abramyan claims Organic Liaison is nothing more than a “bunch of calcium and fiber which is not a proven weight-loss product.”

Abramyan is seeking unspecified damages.
