In a video she shared on her Instagram page, the Food Network star announced good news and bad news. “I got some good news, and I got some bad news,” Bertinelli told her fans.
“The good news is that tomorrow at 12 noon on Food Network, the 14th season of Valerie’s Home Cooking starts airing all-new episodes. The bad news is that it’s its final season. Food Network canceled us last summer, I have no idea why. And I didn’t say anything last summer because honestly, I was hoping they would change their mind. But they have not. So this is it, this is the final season.”
Hundreds of fans took to the comments section to voice their disappointment that this will be the last season of her beloved cooking show, including fellow food aficionado, Rae Drummond, better known as The Pioneer Woman. “Love you so much, Valerie!! I will be watching every episode and enjoying every second—and will of course watch you wherever your career and life take you,” Drummond wrote. “Thank you for sharing so much of yourself for so many years. I know I don’t have to tell you that I’m a Valerie B. fan for life.”
This video comes after Bertinelli opened up more about the emotional and mental abuse she suffered during a past relationship and about how a “hidden bruise” was reopened after she put on a pair of pants!
In the Instagram post shared on Super Bowl Sunday, the celebrity chef admitted she was “giggling because I had a small hidden bruise that was activated today.” She went on to explain, “You can probably hear them because my pants are rubbing together, and it makes this particular sound. I stopped wearing them because I was…mercilessly mocked, you know, ‘I’m too lazy to do anything about it. They wouldn’t rub together if you…’” she trailed off.
Bertinelli defined “hidden bruises” as “something that emotional, verbal, mental abuse do to you. People can’t see [them], but we got to deal with [them] every day when they’re activated. I’m so grateful the work that I’m doing on healing, is working.”
As Mamas Uncut previously reported, Bertinelli took to Instagram to detail some of the trauma she experienced while married to Tom Vitale. It started on Monday when the former One Day at a Time actress posted a video of her lip-syncing a trending sound that says, “Oh my god, oh my god, why would you do that?” followed by, “I don’t know.”
In the video, she wrote, “Why did you let them stay after finding the texts?” – which initially left a lot of her followers confused. She was apparently talking about abusive and rude text messages she received from her ex-husband, Tom Vitale, while the two were still married. She later explained the video in her Stories.
