Valerie Bertinelli posts powerful response to troll who commented on her weight
Valerie Bertinelli has faced one internet troll too many.
The actress took to Instagram with a powerful response to a follower who commented on her weight. "If I could lose the weight and keep it off I would, but since I haven't been successful with that my whole entire life, at 61, I'm still dealing with it." "Where's the compassion?" she added. "Not f---ing helpful."

I guess learning to love one's self really is a lifelong process.
I thought Valerie finally reached a place of self-acceptance after all the memoirs and reflection she's done. It's sad that one comment from a stupid internet troll could trigger such an emotional reaction.
I hope Valerie finally manages to embrace herself for she is. I've always really liked her and she has so much more to offer than pounds on a scale. Unless one is morbidly obese, life is too short to be consumed by this.

So it’s fine that she makes her public persona all about weight when she’s on Oprah and shilling Weight Watchers or Slim Fast or whatever the fuck she pushes. But when some random fan calls her out on it, she’s suddenly stunning and brave for her “powerful” response?

She's not some really nice, sweet person who got hurt by an internet comment, she's always been kind of mean and nasty. When I was a teenager I read tons of interviews from her that alternated between "I'm so young and awesome and normal, and Eddie and I are innocent babes who never go out or even drink" and "screw you, I'm a rock star wife, I'll kick your ass." She most certainly got mad, but I don't think she got HURT.

Just look at Stephen Dorff who got loads of attention for an off-hand remark about Black Widow's leading lady Scarlett Johannsen. On paper, Stephen Dorff is a has-been and yet his comment about an A-List actress and a high profile movie got attention.

R13 - I can confirm that. I met her on a photo shoot years ago (when she was young) and she was a total bitch. My brother was also good friend's with her younger brother and she was not nice at all.
But she was young then. I have to think that living with an extreme alcoholic like Eddie for decades also doesn't help.
Usually most "America's sweethearts" are nothing like that - Meg Ryan, Melissa Gilbert (she said she was America's sweetheart, not me), Shirley Temple, Mary Tyler Moore, Julia Roberts....

R24, she's had some surgery and fillers and I suspect she'll eventually be claiming to be a victim of that, too.
It's hysterical that she now wants to evangelize against body shaming while being a catalyst for it for decades. She colors her hair, no doubt wears body-shapers, had had work done or, at least fillers. But when she's called out herself, she wants to be a brave and bold "woman who speaks her truth". Such bullshit. Cancel her.

R34, Valerie was not the Yoko Ono of Van Halen. Her husband appears to have some kind of disorder (maybe social anxiety disorder, and the alcoholism made it worse), and he alienated every member of his band except for his brother. He drove two lead singers to quit. David Lee Roth appears to have been a megalomaniac, so no one blamed him for that. Sammy Hagar seems to be an easy-going guy, so it was a little surprising when he left too. What turned the fans against Eddie was when he fired lifelong bass player Michael Anthony (another easy-going guy). Eddie replaced Anthony with Eddie's son Wolfgang. In merchandising for a tour, they even manipulated a classic album cover to replace Anthony's face with Wolfgang's. David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar, and Valerie Bertinelli have all published autobiographies that describe their relationship with Eddie Van Halen.

Social media (and news websites' comments areas) bring out the worst in people. In middle school and high school, I was bullied daily because of my face. (I'm a female.) At least when I got home, I knew I was safe. I can't imagine being young and posting something and having people say nasty personal things to me in front of the entire world.
Society has always been terrible to women who are unattractive. I learned this when I was 11. Valerie's only learning this now. Before, she enjoyed the flip side of the coin. It was fine that older/unattractive women were disposable...until she became one. (Really, she's still attractive. She has cute, symmetrical, proportionate facial features. However, in America, "old" = "ugly".)
I think that some of Valerie's statement is rooted in sympathy for Wolfgang. He's pursuing a career in music, and he will benefit from nepotism. But he has put in the time practicing, and he's quite talented. Since he was a teen, he's struggled with his weight, and he's regularly attacked for his weight on social media, no matter how good his music is. Of course, since he's a straight man with money and fame, being fat won't be a roadblock to having a partner.

Bertinelli is an actress. She took a job selling Jenny Craig. Celebs sell products. She also used the products and lost weight. She didn’t “shame” anyone, nor did she help “create the problem.” Weight loss products exist for those who want them.

She deserves as much weight shaming as people want to dish out. Only a few years ago she's on the Jenny Craig payroll lying about how she's found the "weight loss key" and saying how "easy "it is. Heck, she even wrote a book about it and made a bundle off that shtick. She was encouraging millions of others to go down the same path as her with no doubt similar results. Why these spokespeople don't get called out more for their blatant bullshit is beyond me. No different from snakeoil salesman of early times.

I met her a while back right around the time her first book came out. She was unpretentious, very down to earth and startlingly candid about growing up in Hollywood, her marriage to and divorce from Eddie, perils of childhood fame, etc. She was with her then fiance (now husband) who clearly adored her. At the time, there was tons of press about the hijinks of Lohan, Paris Hilton, Britney, etc. She said as someone who grew up in Hollywood, everyone knows if you don't want to get photographed, then you don't go to the places where you KNOW you'll be photographed. She said Lohan, Hilton and Britney knew what they were doing and clearly wanted to get photographed. I liked her. And by the way, she had the most beautiful skin.

TBH, the extra weight (with some well done fillers, I'm sure) keeps her face looking young. I think she looks pretty good for 61; about 10 years younger. She needs to embrace her older self and body and realize being super thin at 61 is not a good look. Plus, you know the old saying...never trust a skinny chef.

She's been getting the bad luck ever since that made-for-TV movie she did in '78 about teen sex. She sang a bad rendition of a Carole King song, and got overshadowed by Timothy Hutton's skinny lovable ass. He won everybody over with his big blue eyes and wholesome demeanor, and her character ended up looking like a whiny little trollop who got high behind the gym and just wanted to bang in the backseat.

On one of her recent cooking shows, she did four segments--each with a recipe related to one of her TV roles. I can't remember which recipe went with which role, but she highlighted "One Day at a Time," "Hot in Cleveland," "Cafe Americain," and one other show that I can't remember.

I like Valerie's cooking show on the Food network. Her recipes are a lot better than Trisha Yearwood's.

She needs a solo sitcom. I can't believe she has to play annoying Demi Lovato's mother. Ugh!!! She was great on Hot in Cleveland. I hope the Demi show gets cancelled and Valerie gets her own show on HBO or Hulu or Netflix. The only reason Hot in Cleveland got cancelled was because Betty didn't want to do it anymore.

She's Italian for god slakes. American Italian, the kind that get fat not Italian for Italy who all seem to stay thin. The thing is food for us is not just nourishment or something you can control, it's an integral part of our lives. We eat to celebrate good things, we eat to cheer us up when we are sad, we eat to bond with family and we eat when welcoming new friends. Breaking that training from birth is not an easy thing to do.
Ask me how I know.

DL, this is what you do to people when you go all psychotic on those of who struggle with weight. Now, 80-10-10. 10 percent couldn't care less. 10 per cent will act differently. For the 80 per cent in the middle, this is honestly what you do to us with your scathing comments about weight.

Also I think that Italian Americans are often heavier than their countryman counterparts is because they were very poor. The original immigrants brought their love of food but somewhere along the line fell into the trap that abundance in terms of food meant you finally arrived to the promise land. It's been that way now for generations. It's so ingrained American Italians are usually shocked at the small portions people in Italy actually eat and how thin they are, even the older people. Massive spreads of food is practically an identity at this point. Conversely, no one ever seems to complain.

Valerie Bertinelli aside, it is just breathtaking to observe the hatred. No, the repulsion, from other gay people regarding fat. This world is getting impossible enough to live in, but the last thing we need is the total lack of understanding from our own community that "prides" itself on compassion, tolerance, and diversity. What a crock of shit! It has to be rooted in fear. Fear of one day turning into what you despise.
And you all deserve to.

She should be just a little chub. Unfortunate to hear that she was a major butch back in the day. Of course I know who she is but she’s a little before my time and I’m 42 even. If she’s making a check doing something then good for her. Also didn’t she bully Mackenzie? Lol. That must be hard not to do.

Well then, R294, she is giving mixed messages then. If her brand used to be dieting, and now it's cooking luxurious dishes, it's hard to sympathize with her issues regarding fat shaming.

I knew there was something wrong with her marriage. After she posted that crying rant about weight, I knew it was really about something else. I also had sympathy for Eddie’s new wife Janie whom I don’t believe Valerie ever mentioned.

I always liked here but I dont get the celebrity knows how to cook BS. Did Val go to any kind of professional training? Culinary school? Work her way up as a restaurant chef? All of those chefs including the one that did go to culinary show basically just pick from a dozen recipe written for them by the actual chefs who work for the food network. The rejects get listed as "from the Food Network Kitchen". Some are good, some are not. Only a hand full like Ina Garten and Giada actually had their cooking chops, wrote cook books before they were on TV.

She seemed beyond devastated when Eddie passed. So much so that I had no idea she had remarried. She has every right to grieve for her son’s father but doing it so publicly was disrespectful to her husband and Eddie’s wife.

I'm 50 and I barely remember her, One Day at a Time was only popular from 1975 through 1979 really, even though it coasted until 1984. That she's still famous is kind of strange, actually. After ODaaT Bertinelli didn't do anything except sub-par made-for-TV movies for another decade before even that dried up. I guess she stayed famous because of her husband.

There was something about Valerie as a young girl that was very appealing to a mass audience at the time. Her sister on the show lets face it was a dog, no one really liked her and on top of that had drug issue in her personal life. And mom on the show was very over dramatic about being a single parent. No one really remembers those two like they remember Bertinelli. I think as a charater on the show she came across as the only sane one in the family. AKA down to earth. Which was considered a good thing back then, unlike Insta whores, Kardashian, reality shit you see today.
Also, Italian last names as young white mainstream actors was unusual at the time outside of mafia movies.

Those fat Italian genes will always just fight their way to come out. She should just reconcile with it - shes 61.
Unless this is all just to get attention for her book. I agree with the comment above that it’s kind of funny that she managed to stay a household name all these decades - I’m not really sure how or why. But most of my friends who are much younger than me know who she is.
