Valerie Bertinelli has been open about her struggle with weight and body image for many years. Shes spoken about realizing that she cant find happiness just from losing weight, and shes had her fair share of body-shamers on the internet. Shes responded to trolls in the past and called them out for being petty and cruel. Recently someone commented on one of Valeries TikToks, the Botox looks great, which was definitely meant as a snarky comment. So Valerie made a TikTok where she talked about why that type of comment hurts, and detailed her own experience with Botox. She had it before, but she didnt like how it turned out. Valerie comes across so genuine and sweet, it just makes me more annoyed that people are coming at her for the apparent crime of aging as a 62-year-old woman.
The ?One Day at a Time? alum posted a TikTok Sunday in response to a user who commented ?The Botox looks great? on one of her prior videos.
The Food Network star interpreted the comment as sarcasm, but decided to switch gears by responding to the mockery with mindfulness.
?I know you didn?t mean that as a compliment, but let?s talk about it, shall we?? Bertinelli began. ?I have tried Botox ? I hated it.?
The ?Hot in Cleveland? star then pulled up a photo of herself from six years ago when she did get Botox, and explained that the procedure ?changed the shape of my eyebrows? resulting in her not recognizing her own face.
?What I thought it was going to do was help me with my genetically puffy eyes,? Bertinelli explained. ?They?ve always annoyed me. I?ve always wanted those deep-set eyes. Don?t have ?em. Never going to get ?em. So, just live with it.?
But then Bertinelli got to the real reason why she wanted to talk about the comment.
?Because you?re trying to shame me, and you?re a woman. Like, what made you go out of your way to try to shame me?? Bertinelli said. ?And I?m not the first person to try to be shamed on TikTok or Instagram or any place. So, we?re women. We have to stick together, OK? Don?t shame somebody if they want to do something, anything, to make themselves feel better as they go out into this insane, flippin? crazy world, OK??
She then shattered any kind of stigma surrounding cosmetic procedures by admitting that if Botox helped her feel better about her appearance, she?d use it.
?Some people can do Botox, and it looks amazing on them,? she said. ?I am not one of them, unfortunately, or I would?ve kept doing it. But thankfully, it faded. I couldn?t wait for it to fade.?

I wonder who told Valerie that Botox would help with puffy eyes because that just seems like bad advice. Botox in the forehead will slightly lift the tail of the brow in many cases, but it wont meaningfully change how your eye socket looks. Anyway, good for her for calling this person out. The stigma against women getting treatments like Botox is so annoying, and it does feel like women cant win. If they age naturally, people shame them, and if they get professional help, people shame them.
As for the person shaming her being a woman, Im not surprised at that. In my experience, women can shame each other worse than men sometimes. And I think women often shame each other because of envy, or because they feel threatened. I was raised in a very conservative church and I carried parts of modesty culture around with me even after I left the church. Id never say anything to other women, but I would judge them in my mind for wearing revealing clothes, and it would bother me so much. I had to examine why I was getting so activated, and I realized it was because I envied them. I wanted to be seen, I wanted to be desired, I wanted to own my femininity like they were. And the culture I was raised in told me I was a deviant and a Jezebel if I wanted any of those things, so I suppressed a lot of stuff. Now Im not triggered at all by other women wearing whatever the heck they want. In most cases when other women annoy me, its because theyre reflecting back something I havent accepted about myself. I think a similar dynamic is often at play when women shame each other for how they manage aging or treatments like Botox. Valerie has always looked great to me and I hope she doesnt let mean comments get to her.

Sitting down for a television interview, the lovely Valerie Bertinelli made an appearance on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show".
In the episode airing on Wednesday (March 9), the "Hot in Cleveland" actress chatted about topics including her husband Tim Vitale's proposal and being over fifty years in age.
Asked how her boyfriend made his proposal, Miss Bertinelli replied, ?It was our first trip ever to Italy and we?re both Italian. I don?t know why it was our first trip. I?m 50 and I?m finally going to Italy.?
Continuing to dig out info, DeGeneres asked for an exact location.
Valerie proceeded to tell, "We were in Florence. It was like the sunset, we had just had dinner and it was a crappy dinner which is really not okay in Italy?I went up to my room and was reading TIME magazine. I wanted to get through a bunch of time?s I brought with me on the trip. Real romantic, aren?t I? So I?m reading the magazine and he?s got this little glint in his eye and he?s lying in the bed next to me. I?m like, ?Stop it. Leave me alone.? Because I?m trying to read. He?s like, ?Really?? And I?m like ?Really. I just want to read this magazine. It was a crappy dinner. We?re in Italy. It should?ve been an amazing dinner.? I was really pissed off. I just wanted to read my magazine. And then I just closed my eyes and he just puts this little box on my chest. It was from Tiffany?s. I said, ?Why did you spend so much money? Why did you go to Tiffany?s? You should?ve gone someplace else with cheaper jewelry.? I don?t know why he married me.?
Closing things out, Bertinelli spoke about being over 50-years-old, saying, ?You know what? For me, it?s always just been a number. I swear to God, if I knew I would feel this good and my life would be this amazing at 50, I would?ve turned 50 a long time ago. I pinch myself that this is my life right now.?

She?s been dating businessman Tom Vitale for six years, and now Valerie Bertinelli is engaged to be married!
The 50-year-old model got betrothed during a recent trip to Florence, Italy, and Tom?s proposal was a wonderful surprise.
Valerie told press, "We'd talked about getting married, but I was still shocked. It was sweet when he asked me, because he was so scared. I was like, 'Are you kidding me?'"
Vitale added, "If the time wasn't right, I wouldn't have asked. We're both still a little afraid of commitment, but then we were over there, and it was like our souls were calibrated."
And it sounds like Tom will be doing much of the wedding planning. Bertinelli explained, "He already knows the different kinds of bells he wants to go off during the ceremony."
