George Lopez Apologizes to Kirstie Alley on Twitter

By Sarah Crow Posted Mar 25th 2011 11:55AM

George Lopez made some nasty comparisons between Kirstie Alley and an animal earlier this week, but now it's Lopez who's got his tail between his legs.

Following Alley's debut on 'Dancing With the Stars,' Lopez compared the actress's routine to a pig with "little hooves tapping away." Lopez followed up his insensitive comment by joking, "Before the show, she went to the market and then she had roast beef," and playing a video of a pig in a car, alleging that it was Alley.

While Alley seemed unfazed by Lopez's nasty remarks, her fans rallied in support of the actress and her dancing skills and slammed Lopez for his malicious behavior.

It seems that Lopez took the message to heart. Yesterday, the comedian apologized to the actress via Twitter, writing, "I misjudged the joke. No malice was intended and I apologize to Kirstie."

Despite his contrition, it doesn't seem that Alley is willing to let Lopez's bad behavior slide.

The actress took to Twitter yesterday to impart some wisdom to her offended fans, writing, "Don't worry about George's comments...just remember what happens to the big bad, drunk woolf (sic)...falls in a boiling pot of vodka.Piggy laughs."

But the former 'Cheers' star wasn't finished. The actress followed up her initial tweet by responding to Lopez directly, making fun of the comedian for accepting a kidney from his wife and later divorcing her. Alley wrote:

I agree,the way he disrepects his mother on the show sends a horrible message. That is one show that should have been canceled after week one. He is a jerk!

I am Hispanic and totally ashamed of George Lopez. Where does he get off insulting an amazingly gorgeous 60 year old women who is clearly the best dancer on DWTS this season. I have never thought he represented our culture well...now I am sure of it! He is UGLY inside and out. YUCK!

By weknew

We all knew he would apologize. So what. Means nothing. He's still a SOB. More power to Kirstie. Bye Bye George.

By Maria Courtheyn

Geo! from one hispanic to another... You're not funny. With all the crap that is going on in sociality/world, I'd hoped that you would have more respect towards others. Especially, when you've been given a second chance at life. Grow up...

He got a kidney from his wife and then divorced her -- reeeally?!?!? -- or did she divorce him? Or, was it mutual? Tell me nobody is that cruel. AND he then makes fun of another nice human being? Why not pick on Gadhafi or Putin or somebody mean?

By Sharon

Would George make that same joke about his wife and daughter? Think about it George! It seems your heart is without soul!

Have you looked in the mirror lately George....

By Tammy

It was good that george apologized BUT it should never have been said in the first place. There should be NO way another human being should talk about anyone that way. We are trying to teach children NOT to bully and make fun of others and to see someone that people watch on TV do it is beyond wrong. We need to treat EVERYONE with respect.

By joycek

Absolutely correct, Tammy! I used to like George Lopez, but I'm shocked and disappointed in his remarks. Who, among his writers and producers, thought that was funny? Disgusting, really.

I remember when they used to make fat jokes about Elizabeth Taylor and her love for chicken. It's just not funny any more to make fun of big women. We're not taking the insults anymore. It's all Twiggy's fault. She started the must be starved to be considered pretty movement.
