Legal Struggles
In July 2012, both Kirstie Alley and Organic Liaison were hit with a class-action lawsuit. The suit alleged that Organic Liaison used deceptive Kirstie Alley weight loss pictures. It claimed that the before and after images of the spokesperson and owner made false weight loss promises.
The legal complaint was Abramyan v. Organic Liaison LLC, Organic Management, and Kirstie Alley, Case Number BC48873, California Superior Court – Los Angeles. It stated that “[i]n peddling the Organic Liaison Program, Ms. Alley attributes her weight loss to the program, but in reality, Ms. Alley’s weight loss is due to nothing more than the tried and true concept of diet and exercise.”
That said, in March 2013, a California state judge dismissed the case at the plaintiff’s request. However, following the headlines, substantial damage to the Kirstie Alley weight loss program and products was done. Still, the program and products still exist and remain popular, having recovered from the temporary reputation harm.
