No going back! Kristie Alley's rift with former DWTS partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy deepens after angry tweet
The ongoing war of words between Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Kirstie Alley reached dizzying new heights on Friday with a vulgar tweet from the movie star to the dancer.
The former Cheers actress and her Dancing With The Stars professional partner used to be close after they were partnered together on the US show in 2011.
But Friday's Twitter salvo must have ended all hopes of peace with Kirstie writing: 'Dear Sir... after you have a** raped me there is really no need to include 'I wish you the best'... it's rhetorical.'

Once upon a time: Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy became great friends after being pared together in the twelfth season of DWTS
Mystery surrounds the reason for the spectacular fallout between the former friends.
However rumour has it that newly single Jennifer Lopez may be at the heart of a complicated situation.
Maksim has been romantically linked to the Latin songstress, who is best friends with actress Leah Remini.
Leah left the Scientology religion earlier this year with the support of J.Lo who has spoken publicly of her friend's difficult exit.
Look Who's Talking Too star and Jenny Craig spokeswoman Kirstie, 63, is a devoted member of the controversial group.
Odd: Kirstie tweets this unpleasant message to her former friend
The Ukrainian dancer certainly hinted at this when he appeared on Watch What Happens Live on Tuesday.
'She
stopped getting along with me, he said.
'We had a great relationship… But I got a message now that I am associating with other people that she can’t be associated with, I am no longer to be spoken with, and sorry, but it is what it is.
And he spoke of his regret at losing the friendship reported New York Post's Page Six.
'I am not judging people by their religion, I’m Jewish,' he said.

'I don’t really believe in science fiction, but whatever. It’s sad that we’ve gone through so much together, and I feel like I’ve helped her. And this is where we’re at now.
'But I think the world of her, and I wish her the best.'
Kirstie previously criticised ex-Scientologist Leah for speaking out against the religion upon leaving it.
Speaking to shock jock Howard Stern in December, Kirstie said: 'I have blocked her on Twitter. Because she's a bigot. If someone was really out there [saying negative things about your religion], would they be your friend? They wouldn't be mine. It's not selective, I just won't have people in my life that are that.
'The thing about me is, I don't care what religion you are. If someone is attacking your religion, I will have your back, and I will defend you. I think that is the most repulsive thing a person can do, attack another person's faith. Because a faith is what you look to to have hope, and is what you look to to help other people. I just think it's really wrong.'
