Valerie Bertinelli Claps Back At Critics Who “Sit In Judgment” Of Her Bikini Selfie

“I hope you find a place in your heart to not judge yourself as harshly as you judge others,” she told her critics.

“I have dealt with judgment my entire life starting from when I was a young girl. It has taken me a long time to realize that my judgment, with patient discernment, is the only judgment that counts,” she continued.

The former Food Network star said it was her “character” that she truly wanted to focus on.

“Am I kind to people? When I’m not kind, what is in my way? Is it my ego or my emotions? Or both? How can I change and grow to be the best version of me today. In this body,” she wrote. “I have no power over someone else’s judgment of me and now I have no interest.”
