In February 2022, Kirstie Alley and Leah Remini had a heated exchange on Twitter regarding Alley’s comments about the war happening in Ukraine. According to People, in a since-deleted tweet, the “Cheers” star wrote that she doesn’t know “what’s real or what is fake in this war” and that she’ll be “praying” instead of making comments. Maksim Chmerkovskiy — who was born in Ukraine — took offense to his ex-friend’s statement. He wrote on Instagram, “no one needs your prayer if you don’t know what’s real or fake,” and recalled the time Alley took the initiative to help those affected by Hurricane Sandy, writing, “I remember all that you were saying to me about situations where innocent are suffering.”
It wasn’t until Remini chimed in that things took a turn for the worst. “So @kirstiealley can comment on things she knows nothing about like mental health, psychiatric drugs, and virology, but she won’t comment on Putin who is an evil tyrant?” she wrote. “She has no comment on these crimes against humanity? But she’s going to pray? Scientology, her ‘religion,’ says Christ is a pedophile and a lie. Scientologists aren’t allowed to believe in anything else other than Scientology. So who is she praying to?”

Unsurprisingly, Alley didn’t back down. “I don’t care what the punk a** t*** say. I believe in the power of prayer,” she fired back in a since-deleted post (via Radar Online). “I will continue to pray for the people of Ukraine. Putin is a c*** and a coward and I’ll pray his own soldiers refuse to do his dirty work. PS, I pray to the same God you do. So get over your nasty selves.”
