After starting a passionate conversation about body-shaming, the actor-turned-Food Network star set the record straight when a follower accused her of “shilling” for the diet industry.

, adding, “However, I can warn you, from experience, that kind of karma doesn’t feel great either.”

What does feel great is the support she’s received since opening up about the subject, an outpouring of positive messages that have outnumbered the negative.The day after sharing that earlier video on Instagram, Bertinelli returned with another clip, in which she raved about the encouragement she's received.“There's so much kindness out there,” she said, still emotional, but with a smile this time. “I certainly do not feel so alone anymore.

Millions of people are starving because they don’t have food If you’re fat, it’s because you eat too much. No one is forcing you to eat everything you see.

Valerie doesn't need to explain any damn thing. If you have a problem with her weight it's your problem. Men, can gain weight. No biggie.. Move it along folks. It's non of your business, period!

No…she got lazy and wanted to eat more. Keeping weight off is tremendously hard work physically and mentally and most people won’t do it.

You look great, don't worry about what others are saying 😉

Enough already. I’ve had to hear about her weight struggles for 40 fkn years!!

You are awesome Valerie! Stay positive.

Why is this a big deal?! Why does she deserve all the cuddles because she cried about being heavy?! 😒
