The actor and Food Network star filmed a video for Instagram without a filter to address followers who get 'really bent out of shape' over her use of them.

Completely fed up with her followers who get "really bent out of shape" over her use of filters on social media, Valerie Bertinelli issued a "PSA" video on Instagram.

A makeup-free and filterless Bertinelli first addressed her critics by stating:


“I’m filming with no filter today because some of y’all get really bent out of shape when I choose to use a filter, which I’ve told you about."

She continued:

“Sometimes I use a filter, and sometimes I don’t."
"Most of the time, I do use a filter because this is me with no makeup, and this is no filter.”

The Food Network star then went on to call out those who accuse her of wearing a wig in her videos.

“Can you get me a wig without flipping gray roots then, please?"
"Because I’m tired of getting my roots done every two weeks."

She proceeded to give her followers an up-close look at her roots.

Bertinelli did also acknowledge the "kind, sweet people" in the comments.

“Thank goodness 99.9% of you are like, really kind, sweet people and don’t give a flying flip whether I have roots or I put a filter on."

Bertinelli's pal Tiffani Thiessen told her to pay the haters no mind.

"Don't give that any energy friend. It ain't worth it."
"I literally erase and ignore that noise. Did that for my sanity a long time ago."

And others agreed she should just ignore the trolls.

Many also noted that regardless of whatever the actor wants to use—or not use—she's gorgeous anyway.

Of course, Bertinelli is no stranger to calling out people online who make snide remarks about her appearance.

In fact, just over the summer, the actor responded to a comment on TikTok that said her "Botox looks great."

Per HuffPost, Bertinelli addressed the commenter:

“I know you didn’t mean that as a compliment, but let’s talk about it, shall we?”

She then proceeded to reveal she had actually gotten Botox several years earlier and "hated it." She even showed a photo as proof.

But then Bertinelli got down to the reason she really wanted to respond to the comment: to urge women to stop shaming other women.

"We have to stick together, OK? Don’t shame somebody if they want to do something, anything, to make themselves feel better as they go out into this insane, flippin’ crazy world, OK?”

Agreed!

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Musician Kid Rock has hitched his wagon to president Donald Trump for quite some time now, and it seems he too is in the "find out" stage of that particularly exercise in FAFO.

It seems that when the president you form your entire personality around craters to a catastrophic approval rating even for him, your ship starts to sink too.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
