Valerie Bertinelli recently dropped her two cents regarding the subject of relationships following her finalizing her divorce from Tom Vitale, which took effect on November 22.
The mom-of-one got candid with her followers after reposting a write-up on her Instagram story that contained revealing information about toxic relationships and things to watch out for before entering into one.
Bertinelli's post doesn't come as a surprise to fans, as the food network star's relationship with Vitale became rocky after she filed for legal separation from the financial planner in November 2021, citing "irreconcilable differences." She then proceeded to amend her petition and asked for a divorce in May 2022.
Valerie Bertinelli Drops A Short Yet Powerful Message
The "Valerie's Home Cooking" star seems to have gotten a new inclination as regards relationships and has made it her mission to let the world know about it.
Bertinelli, taking to her Instagram story, reposted a concise message which was earlier posted by a different Instagram account. The post bothered on relationships and the intricacies surrounding the subject.
The message read, "They move on quickly because they never loved YOU. They loved how you made them feel. They loved what you could or did do for them. They loved that you mirrored their false self back to them."
Although the successful Chef didn't tag or refer to anyone when she uploaded the post, inferences could be made about who the post was directed to following her hectic divorce from her ex-partner, Vitale.
Included in the message were the words, "They loved the benefits that came along with you. All transactional and superficial. When they can no longer get these things from you–they will find another plaything that doesn't see behind their mask."
She proceeded to tag the Instagram page that initially posted the write-up, "@11.eleven.eleven.11".
The Instagram account, which is run by a writer named Amber Bloom, and has a following of over 70k, is dedicated to writing about "Heartbreak Recovery, Highly Sensitive Person and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery."
Another cryptic message about relationships read, "You were an unpleasant memory, now you're my reminder. You're my reminder to be more cautious of the people I invest my time in. You're my reminder to see people for who they are and not for who I want them to be."
The motivating words continued, "You're my reminder to fall in love with how people treat me, not what they tell me. But if by chance I do fall for the wrong person again, you're my reminder that I can survive the worst."
