Fox & Friends Host Blames Kirstie Alley Dancing with the Stars Fall on ‘Too Much Weight’
What does it take to elicit groans from the production staff of Fox & Friends? Co-host Brian Kilmeade found out Tuesday morning, as he offered a cruel assessment of well-liked actress Kirstie Alley‘s fall on Monday night’s Dancing with the Stars. Although Alley’s partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, insists the fall was all his fault, Kilmeade diagnosed the problem as “too much weight…” before adding, after that chorus of groans, “He put on too much weight!”
Co-host Gretchen Carlson wasn’t fooled, though, telling Kilmeade, “Nice save!”
Here’s the clip, from Fox News:
Alley has become something of a role model to many women, mainly due to the humor and honesty she has displayed in dealing with her weight and body image. There are likely many more men and women in F&F‘s audience who relate to Alley, rather than Kilmeade, on this issue. She’s everyone’s mother, sister, daughter, or wife, and Kilmeade is the a-hole at the mall who stage-whispers insults at them.
While it’s tempting to roll your eyes and say “Meow!”, it bears repeating that eating disorders kill, and attitudes like Kilmeade’s (echoed by others, regardless of politics) contribute greatly to a culture that incubates them.
