Kirstie Alley’s Death Sparks Debate About Scientology’s Views on Cancer

Kirstie Alley’s death from cancer at the age of 71 has sparked an outpouring of heartfelt tributes from celebrities and fans alike—as well as questions about the Church of Scientology’s teachings on the disease.

Cheers star Alley’s children, True and Lillie Parker, revealed in a statement shared on their mother’s Twitter and Instagram accounts that the actress had passed away after receiving treatment for the disease in Tampa, Florida.

News of Alley’s death sparked a flood of tributes across social media from several celebrities, as well as fans who shared their favorite memories of the star.

Amid the mournful messages, New York Magazine and HuffPost contributor Yashar Ali tweeted claims that Alley’s elevated status within Scientology meant that she should have been impervious to cancer.

“One of the promises that Scientology explicitly makes to members (on paper!) is if you reach the upper levels of Scientology you won’t get cancer,” the journalist tweeted on Monday. “Kirstie Alley and Kelly Preston, two dedicated Scientologists, have both died of cancer in the past two years.”

The Church of Scientology’s website doesn’t mention this but does advise adherents to “seek conventional medical treatment for illnesses and injuries.”

Ali stated in a separate tweet that he and Alley “got into it a few times but I just want to acknowledge that Scientology robbed her of her life. Scientology destroyed her relationships. It took her money and ruined her career.” – Source
