This is wild. Late actress Kirstie Alley's mom passed away after a car accident in 1981. But the video -- from a 1996 interview with Barbara Walters -- makes a rather shocking admission about what her parents were wearing when they got into the accident.
I could give you 1,000 tries to guess how Kirstie Alley’s parents were dressed when they died in a car accident and you wouldn’t get it right pic.twitter.com/DI6f1LDxU6

The tweet is incorrect; her dad did not die in the car accident. But holy cow.
1,000 guesses and we never would have come up with that.
WHY WOULD YOU EVER ADMIT THIS

A really good question.

That's the face we all made.
My naive ass thought “Bert and Ernie?”

Laughed out loud.
If wiki is correct, only her mother died in the accident. It’s the “minorities hardest hit” trope yet again.😶 pic.twitter.com/qgSJHAEh5j

Ouch.
And here we are all worried about dying in a car accident while wearing ditty underwear.

Heh.

Yeah, that was weird.
CIA officers using enhanced interrogation techniques wouldn’t get this out of me https://t.co/9AoQZhJPNU

Never would've guessed.
The 80s were a different time.
I was not prepared for this. https://t.co/G98dSgsXum

Nope. Nothing could've prepared us for this.
Why would anyone share this with anyone?! WTF https://t.co/BRVuPkJbnG pic.twitter.com/uGHDw2bKGp

Yeah, but 1996 was different.

Sums it up.
The Jigsaw Killer and his apprentice couldn't have gotten information like this out of me. https://t.co/XA22BAX6hb

Nope.
The CIA could hook my junk up to a car battery, and they still couldn't pry this story out of me. https://t.co/mIA1yjZxsD

Hahahahahahahaha.
This sounds funny and cathartic in that absurd way you only really see in the day or so after a death. https://t.co/BqCG1z7buG

Yep. And that's what it is. Grief is a very weird, funny thing.
In 1981, those costumes were not an issue. In 1996, telling this story in an interview wasn't an issue. It just was a funny story from a really tragic time in her life.
