Bertinelli’s emotional message and the netizens’ reactions followed her recent underwear mirror selfie on social media.
In the makeup-free bathroom shot, the Hollywood star stood near a sink, wearing a black two-piece outfit. Her hair was down as she held up a box of hair dye to the camera.
Bertinelli captioned the post, “At some point I will talk about the madness my body has been through this year. But right now every lump bump wrinkle and saggy part of me just feels acceptance and simple appreciation to be standing in front of a mirror in a hotel bathroom in downtown Manhattan ready to color my roots late on a Monday night.”
Fans had mixed reactions to her revealing picture, with some criticizing it as unnecessary and questioning her decision to share such a personal image. Others deemed the photo inappropriate and urged her to seek therapy.
