Valerie Bertinelli on Beating Online Hate & Grief

0:00On April 20th, Valerie Bertinelli just dropped some real wisdom on beating online hate. She says building a solid self-image has made her totally immune to trolls. No more chasing approval from strangers. It's not her job to make everyone like her. That shift happened after years of feeling like she wasn't good enough, but now she owns her worth. She explained how it works in practice. When negativity hits her socials or DMs, it bounces right off, like someone claiming she has blue hair. She doesn't recognize that version of herself anymore, so the attacks feel pointless. That's her telling haters straight up. That's your problem, not mine. As she gets older, Bertinelli craves deep, vulnerable connections over shallow ones. The internet opens doors to the world and even real friendships, but it also floods us with poison. She loves the good parts while shielding herself from the bad. Lately, she's been open about grief too, the kind that sticks around forever. She still misses her late ex-husband Eddie Van Halen, her parents, failed relationships.

Her advice on grief rings true, hold it gently, while a when you can, but keep moving because life demands it. Time softens the edges, turning raw pain into something you carry without breaking.
