Rachael Ray's response to Valerie Bertinelli Food Network comments
Rachael Ray, while promoting her new TV show, responded to Valerie Bertinelli's comments about the state of Food Network.
Valerie Bertinelli is turning heads after turning 65.
The "Drew Barrymore Show" regular took to Instagram on April 30 to share a photo of herself in a red bikini, readying to cold plunge for personal health benefits.
"My pool is 66°. Now, for a cold plunge that's relatively warm. (that's what they say whoever they are) but along with everything else I've been experimenting with, this has helped improve my mood, has reduced inflammation and it's easier than filling my bath up with ice cubes," the former "Kids Baking Championship" judge wrote.
In her carousel, which included a video of her cold plunging, Bertinelli donned a colored towel in her backyard.
The post came a week after her birthday. On her 65th birthday on April 23, Bertinelli penned an Instagram note to her 1.6 million followers.
"Went through it all in the last handful of years and I'm so grateful for the downs as much as I am for all of the ups I am blessed to experience. The light at the end of the tunnel is finally here. I can see it. I feel it," she captioned the post. "I love my family. I love my friends. I love all of you out there supporting me and being a part of our community here."
'I don't care what you think': Valerie Bertinelli defends posting bikini photo
The birthday post came days after Bertinelli's ex-boyfriend Mike Goodnough wrote a lengthy post of his own about their breakup on Instagram on April 19.
Valerie Bertinelli defended past bikini photo: 'I don't care what you think'
Last year, Bertinelli sparked backlash for posting a separate bikini photo with a message about body positivity.
On Dec. 2, she took to Instagram to post a mirror picture in bikini, writing in the caption that though she plans to "talk about the madness my body has been through this year," she's finding gratitude in herself exactly how she is.
"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," she continued.
But Bertinelli didn't hesitate to slam critics of her revealing photo in a follow-up post, later telling fans, "I don't care what you think."
"For the first time in my life, I love my body as it is. It's not the 20 year old body that I hated and it really is a shame that I hated that beautiful body," she wrote, telling fans that "yes, it was a very different body than the one I now inhabit, but it hadn't yet been through the journey I needed to go through."
"Even as challenging as it's been and is, I am grateful for this journey and I wouldn't trade this body for my 20 year old body any day," Bertinelli added.

Kristin Cavallari Wears Cleavage-Baring Little Black Dress After Revealing She Had Her Breasts Redone
Kristin Cavallari showed off her updated breast augmentation in a figure-hugging black dress In May, the reality star revealed she had the procedure redone because she was unhappy with how her breasts looked Cavallari also revealed that, following the surgery, she discovered one of her implants had rupturedKristin Cavallari is showing off her new-and-improved breast augmentation. On Wednesday, June 4, the Laguna Beach alum, 38, stepped out in New York City to celebrate the premiere of her new reality show, Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour. For an appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Cavallari wore a cleavage-baring black dress with a halter neckline. In an Instagram post, the star shows off her chest in a mirror selfie. The Uncommon James founder also shared a full-length shot of her outfit, as well as a close-up snap of her gold earring stack. Fans couldn't help but call out Cavallari's new physique. "The bewbies look hot mawma!!! Congrats 🙌🔥❤️" one user commented. "The boobs are boobingggggg 🔥," another shared. A third user had a message for the haters, writing, "People commenting about your boobs negatively= jealous! You look amazing and always have!" On the May 27 episode of her podcast, Let's Be Honest, Cavallari shared that she 'recently got my boobs redone' because she didn't like the way they looked — which she later learned was the result of a ruptured implant. The star said she went in for a consultation after she wasn't happy with the way her right breast was 'laying.' At first, she thought it was the result of gravity, explaining, 'Things happen so gradually. There wasn't a moment where I was like, 'My boobs look different,' or, like, 'My boobs aren't laying right.' I knew that my boobs were not laying how I wanted them to lay." 'Particularly the right one was not ... and I thought like maybe gravity over time had taken hold, but it just wasn't how I wanted it, right? It just wasn't ideal," she continued. Cavallari shared that she didn't learn about the condition of her implant until after the surgery. "There is no way of knowing how long this implant was ruptured for,' she said. 'My body then formed a huge piece of scar tissue around it ... that's why my right boob was definitely not laying right and it was f----- up. I had a ruptured implant, which is crazy to think about." ! 'I guess maybe I could go through my camera roll and like try to figure out when my boobs started going a little f------ cross-eyed,' she said. Cavallari noted that despite the scare, she "was not ready to take out" her implants. As she explained, "I'm 38, I'm still young, I have a whole life to live, I'm single." The reality star recently split from former NHL player Nate Thompson.

And so, you know, I'm sure some people won't understand that and that's okay — because it's not your body." Read the original article on People
