Valerie Bertinelli Says She Has a ‘Hidden Bruise’ After Being ‘Mercilessly Mocked’ Over a Pair of Pants
The Food Network star shared that she was told she was “too lazy to do anything about” the sound her pants made when they rubbed together
On Sunday, the Food Network star opened up about “hidden bruises” she “activated” after putting on a pair of pants that she was previously ridiculed for wearing.
“I’m giggling because I had a small hidden bruise that was activated today. You can probably hear them because my pants are rubbing together and it makes this particular sound,” she said. “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.
The Kids Baking Championship star explained that “hidden bruises are something that emotional, verbal, mental abuse do to you.”
“People can’t see [them] but we got to deal with [them] everyday when they’re activated,” she said. “I’m so grateful the work that I’m doing on healing, is working.”

Even though it makes her “giggle now,” Bertinelli admitted she once “put these pants away forever” and even changed the way she walked in them. But now, she feels liberated to wear them again.
“Hear that sound? That’s the sound of freedom to me,” she said.
