I am very sad to report that Trump supporter Kirstie Alley has died. Kirstie has been battling cancer, and she sadly lost her battle and passed away. Variety reported that Kirstie Alley, a two-time Emmy-winning actor who rose to fame with her role as Rebecca Howe in the NBC comedy series “Cheers,” has died of cancer. She was 71. Alley’s death was confirmed through her official social media presence, which shared a statement from her children.
“To all our friends, far and wide around the world… We are sad to inform you that our incredible, fierce and loving mother has passed away after a battle with cancer, only recently discovered,” reads the statement. “She was surrounded by her closest family and fought with great strength, leaving us with a certainty of her never-ending joy of living and whatever adventures lie ahead. As iconic as she was on screen, she was an even more amazing mother and grandmother.”
“We are grateful to the incredible team of doctors and nurses at the Moffitt Cancer Center for their care,” the statement continues. “Our mother’s zest and passion for life, her children, grandchildren and her many animals, not to mention her eternal joy of creating, were unparalleled and leave us inspired to live life to the fullest just as she did. We thank you for your love and prayers and ask that you respect our privacy at this difficult time.”

Kirstie Louise Alley was born in Wichita, Kansas in 1951, and moved to Los Angeles in 1980, where she was an interior designer. Alley was already involved in the Church of Scientology and sought treatment for a cocaine addiction through its affiliated Narconon program, which she credited with her sobriety.
Kirstie was a Scientologist, and one of the written promises that Scientology explicitly makes to members is if you reach the upper echelon of Scientology you will not get cancer.
However, Kirstie Alley and Kelly Preston, two high-ranking and very dedicated Scientologists, have both died of cancer in the past two years.
Rest in peace, Kirstie, we will all miss your amazing tweets.
