Valerie Bertinelli Responds To Botox Backlash In Now-Deleted Post: ‘No Shame’

Bertinelli proceeded to analyze the implication behind the user's comment. "Like, what made you go out of your way to try to shame me?" the Hot in Cleveland actress said.

Bertinelli, known for being honest about body image battles, added that she wasn’t "the first person to try to be shamed on TikTok or Instagram or any place."

The Touched by an Angel alum continued: "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?"

Bertinelli's honesty, "realness," and positive energy received much admiration from her followers, who left their praises in her comment section. "Too many women declare war on other women," one fan wrote, adding: "It’s like middle and high school never ended."

Fellow actress Tiffani Amber Thiessen commented: "this is why so many, like myself, love you." Someone else concurred, writing under Bertinelli's video: "You handled this with such grace and kindness." One other replied: "I agree with you, women need to lift each other up, not shame."
