Kirstie Alley Claims That She And Patrick Swayze Had An ‘Emotional Affair’

I have always considered Kirstie Alley to be the harmless sort of Crazy Celebrity, but her most recent attempt to stay relevant sure got my dander up. MY DANDER IS UP, MS. ALLEY. I SUGGEST YOU CONSIDER YOUR NEXT MOVE CAREFULLY.

…although considering your moves carefully doesn’t seem to be your strong suit.

During a Monday night interview with Entertainment Tonight, a television show I thought was cancelled in 2002, Kirstie saw fit to blab to the world at large that she and the late, great Patrick Swayze fell in love in 1985.

OH GIRL NO YOU DINT.

Supposedly, this final dance at Kellerman’s occurred during the filming of the forgettable miniseries North and South in 1985, when they were both most definitely married to other people (Alley to Parker Stevenson, Swayze to Lisa Niemi). She insinuated that no actual boning occurred by stating that they never “had an affair.” But I think what she did here was worse than any emotional whatnot that may have gone down on a set 27 MOTHERFUCKING YEARS AGO: she basically tarnished the memory of a dead man FOR AN AFFAIR HE DID NOT HAVE in the name of staying in the tabs, not giving one-fourth a shit about the emotional fallout for Swayze’s widowed wife or her own ex-husband and kids. WTG, Kirstie. Nice.

Seriously, can you think of a less necessary story to leak to the media? It’s no secret that married people are sometimes attracted to individuals who are not their spouses, it’s also no secret that actors sometimes get warm for their co-stars’ forms while shooting a film. But there was NO AFFAIR here — and both Alley and Swayze continued being married to their respective spouses. In fact, Swayze was still married to Lisa Niemi when he passed away in 2009, and guess who Niemi invited to come speak at the funeral? KIRSTIE ALLEY, OMFG.

Kirstie says she doesn’t know if Niemi was aware of The Great Non-Affair of ’85, but…I don’t think Kirstie will be getting a Christmas card from Lisa this year. And I don’t think she should hold her breath for a Happy Xenu Day card either — Kirstie told Barbara Walters recently that John Travolta was “the greatest love of my life,” holy fucking shit woman GET IT TOGETHER.

I’m sorry, Patrick Swayze. For this story and whoever told you to make that movie. Regrettable choices are regrettable.

    To add to the “holy fucking shit woman GET IT TOGETHER,” Wikipedia says that she married a distant cousin back in the day. I know that shouldn’t really be A Thing, but c’mon Kirstie.

    • JiveTurkeyJones

      I SAW THAT TOO. Like, if you’re going to dish about previous relationships, maybe tell us about BONING YOUR COUSIN?!

      • KellyBDelaney

        This is why you need to be a celebrity interviewer. “So, you didn’t have sex with Patrick Swayze, but you DID have sex with your cousin. Unpack that a little bit for me, please.”

          Thanks for the snort-laff!

    I’ve always been a little unsettled with Kirstie. I don’t know what it is about her, but she just seems like the type that could go COMPLETELY nutty on you at any.given.second. And this stunt? This warrants a Certified Bat Shit medal.

    • JiveTurkeyJones

      Fo’ real.

  • Swistle

    Oh dear, that is SAD. I’m cringing for the poor wife, who does not need this and will now be WONDERING.

    I have to stand up for “North and South” on this one! This is where I first fell in love with one Mr. Patrick Swayze. I loved me some Orry Main!

    • funkymama1

      Orry!!

      I have to agree, North and South was such a huge thing when it came out. Not at all forgettable. (Ashton, OMG!)

      • April Lollar

        I will sit down and watch ALL of the hours of North and South any day. Love.

  • Brenna

    North and South is actually a decent movie, if you like that sort of thing. According to my husband. Who likes that sort of thing.

    Nothing much to add to the Kirstie Alley is batshit crazy story. That pretty much says it all.

    Just reading the title of this post made me angry. What a bitch thing to do. Why would anyone do that?

    How low people are willing to stoop to retain some sense of relevance, is sad.

  • April Lollar

    Also, is anyone else disturbed that Diane Keaton was the voice of one of the dogs in Look Who’s Talking Now? What the what?

    • http://www.amalah.com Amalah

      I thought the SAME THING. That was…whaaa? Really?

  • Elizabethh612

    Seriously – what a crappy thing to do to his widow! I have always been a Kirstie fan but I am SO disappointed in her choice to do something so horrible to someone who has treated her with apparent kindness and respect and to reveal secrets (whether true or not) about someone who is no longer here to defend himself or at least, give his side of the story, Horrible behavior.
