The “Food Network” alum recently shared a candid mirror selfie on Instagram, reflecting on the challenges she has faced over the past year.
Valerie Bertinelli, embracing her body with newfound confidence, proudly displayed her physique in an underwear selfie. However, the post sparked mixed reactions, with some fans labeling it as inappropriate.
The actress posed makeup-free in a bathroom selfie, standing near a sink while holding a box of hair dye up to the camera. Dressed in a black two-piece outfit, her hair cascaded down naturally in the casual yet bold snapshot.
In the caption, Bertinelli shared a glimpse into her journey, writing, “At some point I will talk about the madness my body has been through this year. But right now every lump, bump, wrinkle, and saggy part of me just feels acceptance and simple appreciation to be standing in front of a mirror in a hotel bathroom in downtown Manhattan, ready to color my roots late on a Monday night.”

The post ignited a wave of reactions. Some fans criticized the revealing photo, with one commenting, “That’s great for you, but you don’t have to show everyone.” Another wrote, “Have you lost your mind posting this photo? Get some therapy.”
Others felt the post was unnecessary or attention-seeking. One user said, “She looks great, but at some point in time, you’ve got to stop being an attention seeker and just live your life.” Another added, “Do you really think we want to see you in underwear and bra? No, we do not. Grow up.”

The criticism continued with comments like, “Really don’t need to see this. Why??? Good grief,” and “Oh please. Have some dignity.” A harsher take read, “Why do we wanna see an old lady wearing her panties online? Disgusting.” Others questioned her intentions, with one user writing, “Honestly, you’re quite lovely and don’t need to post an underwear picture. If you’re posting for compliments, you’ll get them here, but why do you need them?”
Despite the backlash, many fans came to Bertinelli’s defense, praising her courage and authenticity. Supporters applauded her confidence, with comments like, “Looking fabulous!!?❤️???” and “You look great! Thank you for sharing. You are definitely an inspiration to us all.?” Another admirer expressed admiration, writing, “Valerie, you look fantastic! ♥️.”
