Valerie Bertinelli’s Latest Relationship is Dead to Me

And she is????

Oh Val...

That guy was liking the limelight a bit too much in the beginning.

No one can replace her first love, Eddie.

Goodnough - nah, apparently not even close to adequate.

Does she need any work?

I hate that wide faced stupid bitch.

Poor Val. She’ll be eating her feelings again.

Has she done anything in decades besides keep appearing in every alternate issue of Us Weekly?

She’s been known to weep on social media, R9

Did she cry??

R9 the long running Hot in Cleveland.

And her own cooking show which has won her several Emmys.

Maybe she'll be ok with being Eddie's widow (well, one of them) and Wolfie's mom and focus on herself now.

You’ll have to read my next book to find out, R11.

she lost a bunch of weight with Ozempic...maybe she wants to see who else might be out there for her.

Also, they did have a 10 year age difference. I don't know: maybe he decided he didn't want an older lady.

Val should consider dating her dad.

He was too good for her. But then again, who isn’t?

Val has reached JLo and Jamie Lee Curtis levels of disgust on the DL.

I think she and David Venable should get together and live happily ever, happy dancing all the way.

I bet Val’s cop ex-husband has some horror stories to tell.

She’s such a narcissistic hag and that coupled with her sexless, sow-like physique must’ve made for a nightmare union.

I hope he found someone attractive and sane and took Val to the cleaners in the divorce.

Whatever went down in her marriage must have been some next-level dysfunction. She ripped him to shreds on SM after the split, was crying on Instagram, etc.

Either he's a total douchebag asshole who was using her for her money, or she's a fucking nightmare behind the scenes.

Those older weepy social media posts remind me of Fran Lebowitz’s quote “spilling your guts is as attractive as it sounds”.

He thought he was marrying America’s sweetheart but ended up with an obese attention whore.

Who can blame him for dumping her?

Social media truly rips the curtain off these awful people like Val and JLC.

Some people are better off with a shrewd publicist to hide their fatal flaws.

He was cute. Verificatia of sizemeat?

R21 He doesn't sound like a very nice man. (Tom Vitale)

[quote] Valerie Bertinelli Recalls 'Finding Texts' and Being Called 'Fat and Lazy

Where’s the lie?

I thought her ex was a "financial planner" not a cop?

He pulled that stunt while they were divorcing where he had himself photographed by paps working for UPS or Fedex to show how destitute he was. But I guess that's not as bad as Dean McDermott calling the paps to get himself photographed going to the Welfare Office to apply for Food Stamps. As if Backgrid has paps hanging out at the Welfare Office. Also, I'm pretty sure you can apply for benefits online.

Cheer up, Val. Now you have time to play the spinster grandma of a perky young thing in a Hallmark movie.

Is she picking up the tab for her son to get some Ozempic too?

She was so pretty as a teenager-- she looks so average as a middle aged/senior woman. Weird.

Dickmatized for a few months, then the spell wore off.

A tale as old as time.

R30 he doesn't need her to. He got some of the Van Halen music rights, the trust, and owns the 5150 studio along with Alex. He is wealthy now and is a great musician in his own right.

DAMNIT BARBARA!!!!

Can they reboot Hot in Cleveland?

Maybe for Val's next romance, she will keep it quiet and not broadcast it from the mountain top.

I'm guessing Wolfie had more $$$ than Val does. He was the only child of Eddie Van Halen.

I'm Team Val. This guy sounds even more EXHAUSTING than Roxane Gay.

[quote]A day later, Mike seemingly responded to speculation that he and Valerie, 64, were on the outs. “Y’all, for real, the things I post aren’t real-time coded subtweets of my own life. I post things for all kinds of reasons. Sending some coded message about my life at that very second is close to never it. I post things that resonate with me as wise or thoughtful or lessons learned. I post things that I think will strike a chord with other people,” he posted. “Sometimes the things I post strike a chord with me because they have some recent relevance or relate to things that have been on mind. Even when that is the case, my reason for posting them is because I see some value in them beyond my own experience – not because I’m trying to send super secret messages about what is going on with me or in my life that people need to use a decoder ring to figure out.”

[quote]“When it comes to stories in particular, what I post is largely influenced by what Instagram serves up to me," he added. "The algorithm is very stubborn and resists even active efforts to get it to serve a wider diversity of material. So any narrowness in what I post about is a result of the algorithm, not me looking for that specific kind of thing. For real, folks don’t have to try to super sleuth the hidden meaning behind content.”

R38 - he sounds immature as hell.

Mike Goodnough? Guess he wasn't good enough after all. Sounds like a made up name.

And I had such high hopes this time!

She looks just like Eddie does now.

Except for all that weight.

God bless her for helping take our minds of this week’s election trauma. I could use a big blast of Harry and Meghan gossip as well.

The DM reported that she split from him “after friends raised concerns that he was more invested in her fame than their relationship”.

Her last Instagram post is from January 1, 2023. She deleted everything following that date.

Someone needs to do a wellness check, stat! Where is Dwayne Schneider when you need him?

At least she is out there trying....be okay with you and whatever the future holds.

Who’d have thought that Val would end of flakier than Mack.

[quote] Her last Instagram post is from January 1, 2023. She deleted everything following that date.

She truly has the emotional maturity of a teenager.

Social media turns grown adults - in her case a senior citizen- into vapid children. Although, truth be told, she doesn’t seem like she had far to go.

I don't see why she is so hated here. I think she is pretty well loved in the non-DL world. I think she did the best she could being a child star and finding her fame so young in life. She is actually pretty likeable on her cooking shows and on Drew's show.

[quote] Who’d have thought that Val would end of flakier than Mack.

Now hold on. I did used to blow my dad.

[quote] I don't see why she is so hated here. I think she is pretty well loved in the non-DL world.

That’s what makes DL special. We have our pantheon of loathed female celebrities who by all accounts should be cherished. Except we see through their narcissism, busted relationships and misplaced egos and know the truth: they’re cunts.

This too will end in tears.

I love you OP.

Val must be insufferable in relationships. No wonder Eddie was always drunk.

Remember how Matthew Perry said he made out with her while Eddie was passed out drunk on the couch?

Poor Eddie. What a tramp!

Remember when Heather Locklear and Tommy Lee were considered the poor man’s Val and Eddie?

I’m beginning to think it was the other way around.

[quote] Cheer up, Val. Now you have time to play the spinster grandma of a perky young thing in a Hallmark movie.

Val would be perfect to play Santa in “Haul Out the Holly 3!”

If Val is picking up rando, out-of-state tricks on social media and they’re dumping her, things must be very desperate.

She’s now a pear-shaped, elderly Italian woman who’s an insufferable burden to everyone around her.

All that’s missing are the mustache and the hairy moles.

She’s 64 years old. Time to take the lesbian route, like Cassandra Peterson.

DAMMIT, JULIE!

I had forgotten about that, R52. In retrospect, one of the few interesting stories in the book,

[quote] She’s 64 years old. Time to take the lesbian route, like Cassandra Peterson.

Val’s pussy tastes like expired Ragu.

I read he gave her that certain tummy tingle—like he’s the one?!

She should fuck Boyd Gaines for old times.

Val’s now ex-boyfriend must’ve have been a real rube if he was so impressed by Val’s celebrity life.

Being generous, she’s C-minus list at best. She got fired by Food Network, which puts her in the company of Paula Dean and Emeril. Forget any actual acting roles, unless you count her Instagram weeping. She’s most famous for being the grieving “widow” of her ex husband who had remarried.

If he was really a star humper, he’d date Mackenzie. At least he could hang out with Chynna and Billy. Plus, all those wild sex moves she learned from Papa John.

Is he dumping Val and moving up the celeb divorcee ladder to Reese W?

You cunts are absolutely killing me on this thread. Nothing brings the DL together more than a common enemy (especially if she’s from a ‘70s sitcom).

[quote]“Learning to trust again after having that trust destroyed is not an easy thing. Those demons want to protect you from being vulnerable and emotionally exposed ever again,” she said in a June 2024 Instagram post. “This man is worth fighting the rest of my demons for. He is the most thoughtful, kind, gentle, intelligent, funny, and grateful man I’ve ever met.”

Until he wasn't. Guess the "demons" were right all along.

Maybe she should be cuddling with her demons?

Wow R66, thanks that quote from the People article. How didhe do such a turn in less than 6 six months?

Wouldn't it be something if the men dumped by these women of Hollywood had their own TV talk show? The guys could sit around and talk about they just couldn't satisfy these needy broads.

Straight women in the entertainment industry do not have many dating options

[quote]Straight women in the entertainment industry do not have many dating options

Especially at Val's age

I misread that as Vage aged

Get up Val! We need you!

"It’s been a tough week for Valerie Bertinelli. The 64-year-old shared on Instagram that a fall at work left her with a gnarly gash and bruise along her forearm. And, she and her boyfriend, Mike Goodnough, have reportedly split after 10 months together.

In dishing about her tumble, Bertinelli posed in the mirror wearing an intentional defeated scowl. “I would ask for hazard pay, but it was my own damn fault,” she captioned the 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.”

She continued: “When you’re me. Because I’m a klutz. And embarrassing myself is my bailiwick. 😅”"

Sharing on IG! What a trooper!

[quote] Sharing on IG! What a trooper!

Val puts the “B” in Cluster B.

Old narcissists don’t get better. They only get worse.

Why is this mean-spirited thread the most uplifting thing I’ve seen in an otherwise tragic week? 🤣

Not on your life, R62

Val is like a real-life “Cathy” cartoon. Only incredibly unlikable and a giant bitch.

Ok, I'll admit it...

I'm glad I popped her in the nose with that door!

And you guys thought Ann Romano was irritating.

Who knew Mackenzie Phillips would end up the most sane of the three.

There’s generational trauma involved.

Be kind.

I’m surprised Val doesn’t share her Pap smears on social media.

She has zero boundaries.

Ask and you shall receive, R81 check out my OnlyFans

[quote]Did she cry??

She is saving the crying for a Very Special Sweeps Week Episode of "The Drew Barrymore Show." It will change your life!

Val’s narcissism is reflected in her pathological need to be in a relationship. Huge NPD symptom.

She’s technically a celebrity and is picking up strangers in other states to date that she sees on Instagram. This is not intelligent or functional behavior for anyone, much less someone with a known public profile that has access to a variety of individuals and peers.

She apparently has no real friends because anyone who have shit about her would set her straight.

I can only imagine the next “People” cover story:

“Valerie Bertinelli Finds Love With Her Garbage Man”

“I’ve never felt so in love!” said Val.

[quote] She’s technically a celebrity and is picking up strangers in other states to date that she sees on Instagram

So what? She has the right to date anyone any way. Why the fuck does it matter to you?

R85 = Valerie Bertinelli.

[QUOTE]She apparently has no real friends because anyone who have shit about her would set her straight.

People like Valerie notoriously don't take good advice about men, no matter how often the mess up making bad choices.

Valerie never told me doing reverse cowgirl with my dad might not be the best decision.

Val will need to up the mood stabilizer dosage when a grandchild is finally on the way.

Despite appearances, Wolfie isn’t pregnant.

Wolfie seems to eat his issues - Christ he's huge! Has been for ages. If he dies young due to his obesity, Val will not survive... I'm NOT wishing that, just saying that the kid's big as a house and looks like he's one coronary away from a very large casket.

Val is the anti-gay icon. Boring, desperate straight woman with no color, fun or flavor.

Eddie was a chain smoker and an alcoholic.

[quote] Eddie was a chain smoker and an alcoholic.

You’d be too if you woke up and saw your wife French kissing Chandler on your couch.

Never stop healing.

R93: "You’d be too if you woke up and saw your wife French kissing Chandler on your couch."

Eddie looked at Perry, mumbled, "Wait, so you're not gay?" and immediately passed out again.

I’m on Val’s side, too, R38. Ugh, this boyfriend or now ex-boyfriend is a galactic BORE who cannot write to save his life. Jesus, WTF is he even trying to say? Gibberish.

[quote] She looks just like Eddie does now. Except for all that weight.

Yes, Ed has definitely slimmed down the past few years 💀.

Val’s latest ex will likely sell the tale of their epic and tragic romance to InStyle or one if those other checkout rags, giving Val an opportunity to respond in People or Life & Style.

She’s truly becoming one of those people who are famous and no one can remember why.

“Val Finds Love With a Hobo”

He was searching through her garbage for foot. What he found was her heart.

“He tickles my clit. I’m in love!”

We love you, Val!

Val has had some decent work done as the Botox has rendered her forehead a sheet of glass and the filler has kept her chipmunk cheeks identical to 40 years ago.

The problem starts right below her nose as the craggy furrows stand in sharp contrast to all the other remodeling.

I’m not sure how to fix that but she better do something if she hopes to find a new man.

I can’t imagine the mess under those clothes . That’s a whole other story.

This thread has given me about half dozen belly laughs so far!

Keep it up!

Val has had “secretary’s spread” for years. She’s a bell-shaped woman which adds to her lack of sex appeal. She looks like someone that had seven kids but she only had one. Although giving birth to Wolfie must’ve been like shitting out a foal.

Wearing more black might help as it would visually slim her down but that wouldn’t parallel her phony sunshine personality she presents to the public. Perhaps more pastels? That would only fly for a few months.

Either way, addressing that traffic jam around her hips is her big challenge. And of course her rancid personality.

Our gal Val is taking her inspiration from Brené Brown posting this accompanied by a song from Jimmy Eat World.

[quote] Our gal Val is taking her inspiration from Brené Brown

Val needs to take her inspiration from Karen Carpenter.

Wait a minute, Val’s social media handle is “wolfiesmom?”

Good grief, this woman is mentally ill! She has no identity unless it’s tied to a man. Her obvious Borderline Personality Disorder is apparently coupled with Oedipal tendencies for what appears to be a Mulligan’s stew of insanity.

I’m sure there are countless psychiatrists cracking their knuckles at the opportunity to dive into the beehive that is Val’s mind.

I think an intervention may be in order before Val hits the donut shop.

Val reached the classic “face or ass” intersection of aging and the choice she made is more than obvious.

She may have made the best decision, trading a fuller, more youthful face for a sack-of-potatoes figure. But what’s perplexing are her fashion choices.

Everything is an unflattering, untucked maternity blouse. Her entire wardrobe looks like it came from a 1983 Spiegel catalog.

She’s wise to stay away from skirts and dresses with her giant caboose. But there has to be something more flattering she can choose. Just because you’re a big gal doesn’t mean you have to look like an abandoned, middle-aged housewife.

No man wants that. Not even the losers she picks up online.

[quote]She apparently has no real friends because anyone who have shit about her would set her straight.

For years, she was very close to Faith Ford and Jane Leeves. I was surprised when Hot In Cleveland debuted and Faith wasn't on it. They all had their kids around the same time and used to talk about each other in interviews.

She likes stuff on Glenn Scarpelli and Mac Phillip's Instagram pages all the time. They must still be close.

Val has serious mental issues.

Have you ever snorted coke off your dad’s cock?

[quote] Wait a minute, Val’s social media handle is “wolfiesmom?”

I noticed that, too. On its own, it's just frau-tastic. But added to all of her other symptoms ...

[quote] Maybe for Val's next romance, she will keep it quiet and not broadcast it from the mountain top.

Fat chance. One date with some social media rando and Val will be on the horn with US Magazine spilling all of the details about her new romance.

The woman is addicted to attention.

I guess he wasn’t.

[quote] Val reached the classic “face or ass” intersection of aging and the choice she made is more than obvious.

No woman consciously chooses to be fat for the sake of her face. Women would rather be slim and then deal with whatever happens with their face (plastic surgery, dermatology, etc.).

Food is a hard habit to kick.

R114 = Nicole Kidman.

You all are posting from last year. Valerie has lost a lot of weight.

R116 Val has been dumped again so she’s now face-first into a tray of lasagna. Ozempic be dsmned.

She'll get fat again.

Dear DataLounge,

Please, please, please, begin every Valerie Bertinelli thread with, "Our gal Val..." or "Our Gal Val..." It's so perfect. It has that, "... is dead to me!" ring of a DL classic.

Plus, Our Gal Val reeks of a sitcom title or even a radio comedy from the 40s that transitioned to early TV. And our gal Val is vrey much a sitcom character.

please oh please oh please... and every post after this sould also begin with Our gal Val... it's just good practice!

[quote] I think an intervention may be in order before Val hits the donut shop.

Here she goes again. More Val victimhood. Now an “emotionally immature parent” is responsible for…what exactly?

It’s so passive aggressive and selfish, which is her calling card. As if other people don’t have problems and issues and need to spend their time piecing together Val’s personal puzzle of suffering.

News flash, Val: all these people who are constantly victimizing you have a common denominator: you.

You are the problem.

Our gal Val. What a bitch.

Someone should point out her extremely wide face

People are so polite

[quote] People are so polite

Thankfully, not in this thread.

[quote] I noticed that, too. On its own, it's just frau-tastic. But added to all of her other symptoms ...

Having your kid’s name and “mom” in an online identity is barely tolerable when the kids are very young. When your kid is in his 30s, something very sick and twisted is occurring..

There’s a strong and disturbing co-dependent vibe between those two. He’s the only consistent man in her life and I imagine she’s very manipulative and dominating in their relationship.

I’m sure Wolfie’s wife has some.horror stories to tell. Val probably sneaks into their bedroom during sex and gives pointers. She’s sick like that.

If they were smart, they’d send their children away to be raised by strangers like the Skywalker twins. Nothing good can come from Val bring in their lives.

At first I thought Our Gal Val was catching strays due to her close association with Bonnie Franklin but I’ve come to realize that she’s earned this enmity all on her own. DL please don’t ever stop.

I imagine Our Gal Val would lose what’s left of her shit if she read this thread.

But, secretly, she’d be thrilled people were talking about her.

What a looney cunt.

[quote]She is saving the crying for a Very Special Sweeps Week Episode of "The Drew Barrymore Show." It will change your life!

She's actually a part time regular now on Drew.

i thought she was co-host.

No Ross Matthews is co-host, Val comes in for a week during the month.

[quote] She's actually a part time regular now on Drew.

I’ve never seen the show, but the way it’s described sounds like being trapped in an issue of Redbook magazine.

It’s your lucky day R129 because here’s a clip.

Our Gal Val informs us that she is on the verge of becoming verklempt.

Drew was basically raised by television so she probably views Val as some sort of older sister. Drew has always been very delusional with questionable mental faculties.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Val is secretly trying to take over or get her own show.

I’d be careful walking down the stairs if I were Drew.

Val’s got a lot of nerve calling anyone an “emotionally immature parent.” She’s like a five-year-old trapped in a wrinkled, old Italian lady’s body.

Wolfie isn’t the size of an elephant for no reason.

My good friend Mackenzie says she sees nothing troubling at all about my relationship with my son, so...

Val isn't fat anymore, keep up people!

It’s just another manic Monday.

Our Gal Val did not wish Mackenzie Phillips happy birthday on social media yesterday.

R136, wait for it, Val is about to tell her story to US Weekly! There's a lot of trauma involved!

Thank you to the posters who are including "Our Gal Val" or "Our gal Val" in the additions to this thread... that phrase continues to amuse.

r137 I think People seems to cater to her

I think Our Gal Val’s ex husband Tom got disgusted with her OTT grieving . I kinda get it.

She and Jessica Simpson can be single ladies together, I see Jessica had her wedding ring off

You didn’t hear it from me, but I understand that she had to have the ring cut off of her fat finger.

Val is getting to be grandma age in Hollywood and it doesn’t look as if she will transition gracefully into that role.

She’s always had one acting mode; naive ingenue. Even on “Hot in Cleveland” she played the “Rose” role of the optimistic ball of sunshine. She projects no wisdom or intelligence in any of her performances. It’s as if she skipped the entire era of playing an actual, fleshed-out, woman. Never a wife, career woman or mother. Just a dopey dimwit.

She’s quite a pathetic performer.

There aren’t a lot of roles for a 70-year-old airhead so I guess she’s stuck begging for gigs playing occasional second banana to Drew Barrymore, which is as tragic as it sounds.

Hopefully, Wolfie has the good sense to put her into a proper home before her attention-starved antics become a tabloid embarrassment.

What a talentless has been.

Her every thought and feeling must be shared with a world that never asked.

No boundaries.

Van Halen used to play parties for Loyola High and its sister schools just before they hit the big time.

Our Gal Val loves football. She should date Aaron Rodgers. He’s younger but since sex won’t be expected, it may work.

“A ChapStick Concussion Turned to Romance”

His brain was beaten. She was addicted to lip balm.

How Aaron Rodges and Valerie Bertinelli turned their trauma into Hollywood’s unlikeliest romance.

They speak exclusively to “People” about their amazing connection - in the bedroom and beyond.

OMG Valerie and Drew Barrymore together is Cringe x1000000

^I need to a mug of hot cocoa to cradle before I watch.

Add your pumpkin spice first, r149

We never liked her.

😂 r77

Look who hasn’t had attention in 10 minutes.

Insufferable bitch.

lol at r153 People really likes to draw in the fraus

Holy shit, her hand is so winkled and gnarled. The shaking isn’t what’s startling; it’s her withered digits.

Scary, indeed.

I think she has the DTs.

Val, you need to stop now. It’s getting embarrassing.

You’re acting like you were DPd by your dad and Mick Jagger.

Allegedly.

Calorie Bertinelli is in NYC and she’s eating her feelings.

Our Gal Val will be back in her Layne Bryant’s best in time for the holidays.

How long before Our Gal Val shows up on QVC with a line of plus-sized clothing for women? She could do a few hours of stretchy leggings and blousy, loose-fitting tops and then scarf down some meal she prepares In the Kithcen with David (who will wear one of her blousy tops because they are BFFs!)

Neurotics are only interesting or fun when they're intelligent and have a good sense of humor. Neurotic Valerie has neither of those qualities. Blandness still somehow sells because she keeps getting booked.

All of the female celebrities who were pushed on us in the '70s turned out to be all kinds of fucked up.

Valerie and Mackenzie. Tatum and Kristy. Farrah and Brooke and on and on.

I think Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman) seems somewhat normal

Our Gal Val has released another important statement!

[quote]“Today marks two years of freedom,” the Indulge author captioned an Instagram post Friday, before listing off a long list of emotional accomplishments. “Two years of walking through self doubt and doing my best to get to the other side. Two years of knowing that I didn’t deserve to tolerate the intolerable. Two years of working through shame and self loathing. (Still working on that part🥴long tail that😅) Two years of working to find my true self.”

[quote]“Two years of eventually dipping my toe in and feeling love again. (Thank you, Mike ♥️),” Bertinelli wrote. “Two years of confronting past demons and traumas and doing my best to work through them.”

In related news, Jamie Lee Curtis called it all "a bit much."

Thank you, Mike!

Can she be any more pathetic?

Thank you R164 for opening with "Our Gal Val" - Jesus it seems so feaking appropriate, doesn't it? It's the title of a sitcom or maybe we're in "dramedy" where the lead actress is some sort of online advice columnist... and she's really bad at it and just spouts empty platitudes.

Wonder if she sees any of the ex's family, even nephews she seemed so close to on her cooking show.

I have come to detest this whiny bitch.

Maybe she should just come out and say what her second husband did to her instead of hinting about it for years. I don't really hear much about her but what little I've read she described that marriage as amazingly wonderful and exactly what she wanted and needed, etc. Maybe she should explain to her fans (and us "haters") how a relationship she described as that incredible actually wasn't good at all. Their heads must be spinning as she vague-posts about abuse.

Which one of you is spamming our Poor Gal Pal Val on Threads?

and Instagram.

I can’t imagine being a senior citizen and being so fixated and obsessed with social media. She’s truly a pathetic, vile cunt.

Have some compassion. She’s already lost two husbands, a boyfriend, her waistline and her chapstick. This porn thing may just send her over the edge, but not before she posts a tear-filled video in her IG stories.

"...and her chapstick." Oh this is funny. Thank you R174. Anyone think it's her daughter-in-law spamming Our Gal Val's accounts with porn?

Wouldn't THAT be a kicker!

I had no idea datalounge loathed this performer so completely 😂

It’s safe to say that Our Gal Val has the goods on someone at People.

A boo boo on her knee is now breaking news.

Her insatiable craving for attention is almost shocking.

Almost.

Valerie is one of the most loved celebrities. Many of us watched her grow up on TV (including in reruns). We feel like she’s a sister, cousin, niece or aunt. That’s why people appreciate her honesty about her anxiety. I think all of us will eventually be haunted by our mistakes, regrets, and injustices against us later in life when we’re less busy with work and family obligations. She’s not pretending that everything in her life is perfect, like most people on social media tend to do.

Wolfgang turned out hard-working, level-headed, humble, and unspoiled, compared to many celebrity kids. ( Watch his “Behind the Music” episode from earlier this year; you will come away a fan. I’m guessing that Valerie gets the lion’s share of the credit for that.

R177 talk about navel gazing, that is hilarious

From what I understand, Eddie was a pretty humble dude himself.

So Wolfgang came by it honestly. Plus, I’m sure Alex and his dad showed him a good work ethic.

She’s such a bitch. It’s a wonder Eddie stayed with her as long as he did.

She has PEOPLE on speed dial

^^^^ No wonder the younger guy ran

Ma, you’re embarrassing me. Enough already.

In the dictionary there's a picture of her next to the word courageous

That's a normal 64 year old woman's body, to be honest. One that hasn't spent her life getting plastic surgery, lipo, tummy tucks, etc.

I've seen a hell of a lot worse.

On her first season of her cooking show she cooked for her book club and one member was Jessica Harper of "Suspiria" and "Phantom Of The Paradise". So Val's cool by me.

Why doesn’t she become a nun? She can eat all she wants and masturbate to her hearts content, instead of wrecking one relationship after another.

What made her a bitch, DL?

I thik "bitch is the wrong word to describe Our Gal Val, but "exhausting" and "needy" and "lost" certainly have a ring.

I like her. Ahe seems harmless. I'm guessing her cop ex beat the shit out of her as cops are wont to do

I would substitute insecure and needy for courageous R185.

I had no idea she was single again. That’s too bad. Last interview I saw with her she seemed to be very happy with him but apparently not I guess.

Triggered!

Who is more unhinged? Our Gal Val or Jamie Lee Curtis? Both have a lot to say at all times.

Our Gal Val is definitely more unhinged as social media is her audience. JLC is still in demand and hasn’t resorted to showing bruised elbows and knees on social media, yet.

She got some negative feedback about the underwear shot so now she is 'clapping back' (ugh) at her critics. She does this all the time, she overshares and then gets upset when she doesn't get all compliments.

If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t post it on her page.

Anyone who doesn't kiss her butt is a "troll" to her

Quelle surprise

Anybody who is even a little media savvy would know that posting a picture like that would invite trouble.

And she has used the body acceptance angle more than once. Then she loses the weight and we're all supposed to clap. Rinse and repeat.

I seriously think this woman is addicted to her own victimhood.

Also, if you can believe anything from DLR, Miss Valerie was always nutty. And a drug enthusiast and a cheater.

R202, do try to keep up... it's not Miss Valerie - if anything she wishes she really was the Eidow Van Halen, but ship sailed in divorce court. She is now Datalounge's own Our Gal Val.

I love the description of how she's "addicted to her own victimhood." Does Wolfie find her exhausting? What is OGV's relationship with the daughter-in-law? Do they spend holidays together? God, can you imagine having OGV at your home is you're doing the cooking? Yikes!

Is it possible she trolls herself under a made-up name? Her fans are probably wine moms well into their 60's, and Instagram comments tend to be extremely complimentary of celebrities and even nobodies. How is Valerie Bertinelli on anyone's radar, even for trolling purposes?

She and Britney should have a weekly talk show.

R204 It’s a fellow Datalounger trolling her. I guarantee it.

With two very special guests, Kate Winslet and Demi Moore - the "Will everyone please feel sorry for me forever because of the body-image issues I've suffered for the sake of your impossible societal standards?" queens.

Why does she even still want to get laid? I feel she should retire from chasing dick.

I'm sorry...I don't put Kate Winslet in her category at all. Demi, yes. Although she's sticking with her ex Bruce Willis during his dementia, and that's admirable.

Projecting, Dear?

Wouldn't it be something if we found out that these internet "trolls" who torture Our Gal Val are Wendie Malik, Jane Leeves, and Mackenzie Phillips?

Just a bunch of mean girls doing what mean girls do...

David Venable morphing into Tom Arnold.

Thank you to the online trolls who drove Ma to this.

Has Bonnie Franklin released a statement yet?

She seems obsessed with "trolls" and "haters". Why doesn't she just ignore or block them like everyone else does?

Bitch, I hold the title of Queen of the Fraus. I have a viable acting career, production company, book club, and share homey family recipes with my fat fanbase. Sure I too have a messy relationship history but I WIN.

"fat fanbase" - laugh out loud funny! ~ thanks for visting Reese!

Attention all alte kakers, our gal Val will be the host of Bingo Blitz coming to the Game Show Network in spring 2025. I hope she doesn’t throw herself at any of the contestants.

And another People article, she has them on speed dial

Does anyone know where Game Show Network shoots their shows? LA? Georgia? Canada?

Funny how the one who was fired twice from the show because of drugs and openly admitted to having sex with her father on the regular for a decade turns out to be the one with a semblance of dignity and self-respect...

The world is her therapy session.

Fucking navel-gazing bitch.
