Kirstie Alley fall: It’s all Maksim Chmerkovskiy’s fault

Let’s try a thought experiment. Say you’re doing a job in which one of your responsibilities is to carry a 60-year-old woman. While you are carrying her, you slip, and sort of drop her.

Let’s look at the headlines: "Kirstie Alley takes a fall on ‘DWTS,’" "The rise and fall of Kirstie Alley," "Kirstie takes a tumble." Heck, if you go to Google and type K-I-R, it even suggests "Kirstie Alley fall."
