Valerie Bertinelli Shares Bikini Selfie to Highlight Year Of ‘Madness’

Valerie Bertinelli is feeling proud of her body and she wants the world to know it.

64-year-old Bertinelli posted a photo on social media on Tuesday, December 3. In the picture, she is wearing a black and white bikini, looking fit and giving a small smile to the camera. The former Food Network star took a mirror selfie right before trying to touch up her hair roots.

“At some point I will talk about the madness my body has been through this year,” she captioned the candid image. “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 arrived just days after the celebrity chef shared via Instagram Stories that she had taken a fall and injured her knee. “I continue to have the knees of a 9 year old because I fall far too often than what is comfortable for someone my actual age,” Bertinelli captioned her Friday, November 29, post.

Valerie Bertinelli was “incredibly vulnerable” with fans while detailing a recent panic attack. The actress and celebrity chef admitted in an Instagram video caption on Sunday, November 17, that she had been waiting to post “for a day” before uploading the clip of her hand shaking. “I’m posting because we’re all out here doing our […]

Bertinelli has documented many significant musings this past year as well as serious health updates including her struggles with anxiety.

On Sunday, November 17, Bertinelli uploaded a clip of her hand shaking, accompanying the video with a brave explanation. “So I don’t know if you can tell from this video (and my heart is still beating a little rapidly as I write this) I had a really bad anxiety attack today. I haven’t had one like this in a very, very long time,” she captioned the video. “A few hours ago, I was weeping uncontrollably, and my heart felt like it was pounding out of my chest. I couldn’t stop shaking.”

Bertinelli continued, “I want to share it because I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one out here who has experienced this. Gratefully these attacks have become much more infrequent, so this one took me a little bit by surprise today. This is the after effect. As I’m going through the actual attack (lol attack is such an appropriate word. My body and my mind feels like it’s actually under attack 😅).”

She added that her brain was “overthinking and catastrophizing” during these attacks, which makes her body go “into overdrive,” noting that she has “no control.”

Less than one month prior, Bertinelli also shared a dramatic injury on her arm, labeling herself a klutz in the photo’s Instagram caption. “I would ask for hazard pay, but it was my own damn fault,” she wrote to accompany the October 30 post. “I’ve been working on a really fun new project that I can’t wait to tell you about and this is what happens when you literally trip over the corner of a stage and fall on your ass in front of the crew. And the whole audience.”
