Kirstie Alley Slams Abercrombie & Fitch CEO for Fat Jabs, `Never Buy Anything from Abercrombie’

Kirstie Alley slams Abercrombie & Fitch over remarks by their chief executive officer, Mike Jeffries, about people who “don’t belong” in their clothes. I guess Alley won’t be shopping at Abercrombie & Fitch anytime soon.

Kirstie Alley, 62, was responding to a controversial 2006 Salon magazine interview where the retail giant’s CEO said “In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids. Candidly, we go after the cool kids. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely."

Alley fired back on Entertainment Tonight. She said "Abercrombie clothes are for people who are cool and look a certain way and are beautiful and are thin' and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That would make me never buy anything from Abercrombie."

You won’t see her two children, William True Stevenson, 20, and Lillie Price Stevenson, 18, at the hip retailer either. She explained "I’ve got two kids in that bracket, but they will never walk in those doors because of his view of people -- forget women, his view of just people.”

Alley isn’t the first celebrity to bad mouth the retail giant. On May 13, Sophia Bush tweeted "Such a letdown to see that Abercrombie, a company geared toward teens, lets their CEO speak like this.”

Abercrombie & Fitch doesn’t carry any sizes above a 10 and backlash has been growing since the 2006 interview came to light. Incensed by the slight, people on Change.org started a petition designed to compel the clothing store to stock larger sizes. On Monday, teenagers staged a protest outside an Abercrombie & Fitch store in Chicago. Filmmaker Greg Karber attempted to "re-brand" the controversial company by giving its clothes to homeless people in a viral video campaign called "#FitchTheHomeless."

In 2011, Kirstie Alley blasted George Lopez for mean-spirited remarks he made comparing the “Dancing with the Stars” contestant to a pig. Lopez joked that Alley "did a nice job, her little hooves tapping away.” He said that before the show Alley "went to the market, and then she had roast beef, and this is her going all the way home!”
