In May 2020, Valerie Bertinelli reflected on her past partnership with Jenny Craig and the bikini cover story she did for People magazine. She admitted to feeling both pride and shame associated with the cover, and in July 2021, she shared an emotional video on her Instagram page. In the video, she questioned why body shaming women is still a thing and expressed her own struggles with weight issues. Despite her emotional plea, she faced backlash from a Twitter user who accused her of helping create the problem by telling others to get thin and shilling weight loss products.
