'It is a real blackballing situation'

Kirstie Alley says she's been blackballed by Hollywood after expressing support for former President Donald Trump. Appearing on the Fox News show Tucker Carlson Today on Wednesday, Alley shared: "People go, ‘You’re so brave.’ I go, ‘No, I think I’m stupid.’ Because honestly, it is a real situation. And it is a real blackballing situation. It’s so strange to me because artists are free-thinkers, for the most part."

Your career was already in the shitter. You thought this was going to help?

1. Emphasis on the "thinkers" part, Kirstie. n/t

[Takket]

2. yeah because here career was on FIRE before anyone knew she lvoed drumpf lol

stop blaming cancel culture for creating a negative view of you that already existed beforehand.

3. All but one of her acting roles was after she joined Scientology

Which is very big in Hollywood. She likely owes her success to Scientology, rather than being blackballed for supporting Trump.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

7. Scientology is no longer very big anywhere. It's a cult & abuses

it's members if they don't tow the line. If you step out of line, you're declared a suppressive person and have to disconnect from your family. The more that comes out about Scientology, the more it shrinks, including in Hollywood. My dear friend's brother is a shell of himself after a five year stint in that horrid cult. It did a mind fuck on him. Kristie Allen owes her successes and failures on choices she has made.

9. No, it's still important in Hollywood

I have family in the business there.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

14. "in the business"? Actually Scientology is getting a well deserved bad reputation

there and everywhere, and as a result is not attracting new members, losing members, and losing respect/credibility. Those "born into the religion" are what is currently sustaining it, especially the rich members.

[Buns_of_Fire]

13. A cult... abuses its members... don't step out of line...

I bet you could build a political party around those concepts.

[RockRaven]

4. No, the tweet wasn't the dumb part. The support was the dumb part.

And the Scientology. That was the really really dumb part.

[Cha]

5. And? So what.. why

would anyone want a brainwashed Treasonous Psycho Zombie around?

lol.. "...free thinkers... " yeah "free" to be brainwashed by a Treasonous Liar.. you stupid twit.

TY Hollywood!

[Yavin4]

6. Her lack of talent blackballed her.

Her career consisted of only one really good role.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

11. +1

[stillcool]

8. blackballed from Jenny Craig?

[Jerry2144]

10. I thought

Her lack of any talent was why she can’t get a job as an actress

[struggle4progress]

12. As Dan Quayle said: "What a waste it is to lose one's mind -- or not to have a mind"

[zaj]

15. When you are your product, your customers own you.

If your customer (viewers) despise you because you say it do something that pisses them off... that's on you. Live with the consequnces.

That's what Colin Kaepernick did. Hey cared enough to piss off rural Republicans football fans.

If you don't like the reaction, you can go wait table. CK took that risk and lived with the consequnces.

Clearly she didn't care very much.

[SunSeeker]

16. Her fame ended with Cheers, not because of her support of Trump.

She's nothing but a Jenny Craig drop out Scientology loon.

[brush]

23. She doesn't get that TV actors have to have actual talent to get more than one bite...

out of the apple. She's no Julia Louis-Dreyfus who moved from "The Second City" to "Saturday Night Live" to "Seinfeld" to "The New Adventures of Old Christine" to "Veep".

Who know Allie for anything but "Cheers?"

[Grokenstein]

17. She was one of those arrogant idiots

who had the opportunity of a lifetime to ride a franchise but got preposterously greedy. She reportedly wanted more money than William Shatner had been offered to continue with her role in the Star Trek movies; the look on her face when they said "nah" must have been hilarious.

[Drunken Irishman]

18. lmao all you have to do is look at her imdb page to see her career was long dead before that.

[FakeNoose]

19. I'll bet she's been talking to Roseanne Barr

[brush]

24. And Michael Richards, another washed up, unforced error idiot.

[3catwoman3]

20. Tweeting support for Trump was not as stupid...

...as actually supporting him.

[-misanthroptimist]

21. She's been blackballed because she can't act.

Her obnoxiousness doesn't help, either.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

22. Was it reluctant supporter or Nugent level support ?

She needs to follow the Trump plan to make money, squeeze it out of your stupid followers.

If she was truly an artist, why support such an ugly inside/out person like trump ?

Supporting trump drew a great line for me. I could tell how stupid and brainwashed someone was real quick...
