Valerie Bertinelli addresses online criticism after posting a tribute to her late ex-husband, musician Eddie Van Halen. Multiple outlets report that she pushes back against trolls who suggest she is “obsessed” with him, after expressing remembrance on the sixth anniversary of his death.
According to reports, Bertinelli frames the backlash as coming from “haters,” and uses social media to directly respond. One outlet highlights that her post includes a line meant to dismiss the negative comments, while others describe the response as a defense of her emotional expression and respect for Van Halen’s memory.
While the coverage focuses on her reaction, the core details across sources remain consistent: she honors Eddie Van Halen online, receives criticism, and then publicly counters that criticism rather than staying silent.
