Hollywood star Kirstie Alley claims Roxanne Pallett was “willing to ruin” Ryan Thomas’ career
HOLLYWOOD star Kirstie Alley says disgraced Celebrity Big Brother housemate Roxanne Pallett tried to ruin Ryan Thomas’ career.
She declares on the new Dan Wootton Interview podcast — available to download and subscribe to via iTunes and : “I’m not trying to make it worse than it is because it’s really bad but you have to think, especially in this climate.
“If it was true it’s true but if it’s false you are ruining someone’s livelihood. After seeing everything she was willing to dramatise this thing and not have any concern about him losing his career.”
She added: “I think that some of the guys in the US that it happened to had their livelihoods ruined for no reason.”
Roxanne cited abuse and asked for eventual winner Ryan to be removed from the house over the incident, which saw him lightly graze the former Emmerdale actress with playful jabs.
Cheers star Kirstie, who finished second behind the ex-Coronation Street actor, recalled: “I was sitting in the room when that happened. It was such an uneventful event that when I saw the playback is when I found out I was sitting in the room.
“I did see that he did nothing, almost nothing, and then she said ‘Ouch’ and he said sorry.”
Kirstie also divulged an unbroadcast conversation she had with Roxanne, recently banned from a garden center over a fiery row with staff, following the incident.
She continued: “I tried to talk to her. And I don’t know if they showed it or not because I have no idea what they showed. But I said, ‘Is it possible that he was just messing around and it hurt?’
“And she goes, ‘No I think it was intentional’. And I go, ‘Does anything strike you weird about that?’
“She goes, ‘It does strike me as weird there’s a hundred cameras in here and he would do that.
“And I said, ‘When he was playing around and he hit you, what did you say?’ She said, ‘I said ouch.’ And I said ‘What did he say?’
“She said, ‘Nothing. That was the weird part he just walked off. He didn’t just walk off he said I’m sorry.'”
