Valerie Bertinelli Sparks Conversation on 'The View'

On Tuesday, April 2, Valerie Bertinelli made a memorable appearance on "The View," where she was censored not once, but twice during the hour-long episode. The star of "One Day at a Time" came on the show to discuss her latest cookbook, Indulge, but the conversation took a surprising turn into the world of politics. Her candid remarks about the importance of voting and her refusal to tolerate negativity online left a lasting impression on viewers.

With her characteristic charm and passion, Valerie, now 63, urged the audience to take part in the democratic process. “I just want you to know how dang important it is for everyone to vote,” she emphasized. “Please, vote for your own benefit. Thank you. I get a little excited, and I just have to think about our queen Taylor Swift and calm the f–k down.” Although the censors muted the last part of her statement, eagle-eyed viewers could clearly see Valerie mouthing the words. Her honesty and passion shone through, making her message all the more impactful.

No Tolerance for Negativity

After touching on the importance of civic engagement, Valerie moved the conversation to another topic close to her heart: dealing with internet trolls. As someone who has been in the public eye for decades, Valerie knows firsthand the impact of negative comments and online harassment. Her solution? A firm stance against negativity. “You’re not allowed in my arena if you’re going to be an a–hole,” she declared. Once again, the censors intervened, but her message was clear: kindness and respect matter, both online and off.

Her straightforward approach to handling negativity resonated with many viewers, offering a reminder that we all have the power to create a more positive digital space. Valerie’s willingness to speak her mind, even when it means pushing boundaries, is part of what makes her such a beloved figure in the entertainment world.

A Candid Exchange with Joy Behar

Valerie's appearance on "The View" wasn't all serious talk. She also brought along several dishes from her new cookbook, Indulge, to share with the hosts. However, things got a little heated when longtime cohost Joy Behar, 81, seemed confused about one of the dishes. “Turkey? Is this turkey?” Joy asked. Valerie, never one to shy away from a good comeback, snapped, “Joy, I don’t know. No, that’s chicken.”

This lighthearted exchange highlighted Valerie's playful side and her ability to hold her own against the sharp-witted Joy Behar. It was a reminder that even when promoting her latest project, Valerie remains grounded and true to herself.

Opening Up About Personal Struggles

Valerie's visit to "The View" wasn't just about promoting her latest cookbook. In a candid interview with USA Today, Valerie opened up about her personal struggles with body image and emotional eating. She revealed that food and alcohol had long been her go-to coping mechanisms for dealing with difficult emotions. “Until I decided to truly feel my pain and walk through it and get to the other side, nothing in my life was going to change,” she explained. This journey of self-discovery has been both challenging and rewarding, leading her to a place of true joy and acceptance.

Reflecting on her experiences, Valerie admitted, “I’m the (expletive) poster child for being food- and weight-shamed. I lose weight on Jenny Craig and I’m lovable? I was lovable before. That messed with my mind, I bought into diet culture hook, line and sinker like everybody else.” Her honesty about these struggles has inspired many fans to embrace their own journeys toward self-acceptance and healing.
