Donna D’Errico of the Baywatch cast recently posted a photo of herself in lingerie after being told she was “too old” to wear it, and immediately got the support of co-star Carmen Electra. 54-year-old D’Errico took to Instagram to show off her blue and white laced lingerie outfit, captioning the photo, “Oh no she did not just now post a photo of herself in her underwear. #OhYesIDid I just like this photo. I think I look pretty 🥰”
And of course, not only did she receive support from Electra, but many other adoring fans as well who thought she looked incredible. Electra wrote, “Gorgeous!” Another fan wrote, “You know you look gorgeous and so pretty! I’m amazed how you keep yourself in such wonderful shape.” Another says, “Lord have mercy ❤️you don’t disappoint.”

This photo was dropped just after critics slammed D’Errico for modeling a two-piece swimsuit on social media back in July. “Quite a few women complained about the 4th of July video I posted in a red white & blue bikini because they thought I was ‘classier than that’ and ‘too old to wear a bikini’ and, my favorite, ‘desperate,'” she said at the time. “Let me tell you something that might surprise you. I can actually wear and do literally whatever I want. On that note, here is me in a bikini squatting on a coffee table.”

She says that she hopes sharing her revealing photos will help encourage other women to celebrate their bodies, regardless of age. “Once upon a time I used to allow what others thought of me to really bother me and even dictate my actions,” she said.

“And those ‘others’ I speak of were almost exclusively other women. Strangers in public or haters online, so many women just seem to love tearing other women down. It affected me pretty badly over time. No matter how great I felt about how I looked when I left the house, if I got photographed while out I’d be absolutely torn to shreds by mostly women making fun of everything about me in online comments.”
