Kirstie Alley doubled down about praying for Ukraine after getting into a social media feud with her former "Dancing With the Stars" partner, Maks Chmerkovskiy, who is currently in the war-stricken country.
In a since-deleted tweet, Alley wrote: "I don’t know what’s real or what is fake in this war. So I won’t be commenting. I’ll pray instead."
Chmerkovskiy, who is Ukrainian and currently in the country, called out Alley on his Instagram Story where he has been sharing updates on Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

"Dear Kirstie, We haven’t spoken in a while, but I clearly remember being right next to you while you were organizing trucks of aid during hurricane Sandy and I remember all that you were saying to me about situations where innocent are suffering," the professional dancer wrote. "That same energy is needed right now….No one needs your prayer if you don’t know what’s real or fake."
