Kirstie Alley is being sued over an alleged weight-loss product scam.
The former ‘Cheers’ actress claimed she had shed 100 pounds by using supplement Organic Liaison but now an angry dieter has claimed Kirstie and the product’s maker have engaged in “nothing more than a healthy deception” and her new figure was down to her appearance on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ in the early months of 2011.
Marina Abramyan filed a lawsuit at Los Angeles Superior Court on July 20, which claims Kirstie’s extreme weight loss was the “result of an above average exercise regime and extremely low calorie diet”.
She also claims that ‘DWTS’ “tracked [Alley’s] weight loss as a result of hours and hours of dancing every day for several months”.
Abramyan alleges the supplement’s marketing campaign involving Kirstie violates Federal Trade Commission regulations and that she wrote to the company demanding they cease their deceptive practices.
However, the company wrote back to Abramyan, denying her claims and refusing to change their advertising practices, prompting her to file suit.
She is seeking an injunction preventing Organic Liaison from proceeding with its current campaign, which utilises before-and-after ‘DWTS’ photos of Kirstie, as well as unspecified damages for the “proposed plaintiff class”.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are reportedly living together.
The two former ‘That ’70s Show’ stars are yet to confirm they are a couple but are said to be inseparable and cohabiting.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “They’re basically living together. Like any new couple in love, they’re pretty much joined at the hip.
“They’ve been sneaking around for months but there’s only so long you can keep it quiet.”
The insider added: “They’re staying with each other most nights. Mila’s practically moved in to Ashton’s Hollywood home.”
His marriage with Demi Moore broke down last November, following reports of Ashton’s cheating.
Demi has since ended up in hospital after having an apparent seizure while smoking an unknown substance.
Mila and Ashton were caught kissing at the wrap party for his latest film, a biopic of the late Apple boss, Steve Jobs, at the weekend.
The actress recently admitted that she doesn’t find herself particularly sexy.
Mila said: “I appreciate the attention, but I don’t think of myself as particularly attractive.
“I do have a pretty sharp sense of humour, though, and I think that has helped me.”
