Recently, actress and chef Valerie Bertinelli took to Instagram to call out body shaming, the act of mocking or denouncing someone because of their body's size or shape. This was in response to comments she received from a viewer last Thursday. Following her vulnerable message, celebrities and fans offered abundant support for her. Her supporters include Kelly Clarkson, Demi Lovato, her son Wolfgang, and more. After a show viewer said Bertinelli needs to lose some weight, the TV personality responded with an emotional video where she said, "Someone… decided to point out that I needed to lose weight. Because see, I don't have a scale or I don't have clothes that I'm trying to put on every day, and I don't have mirrors, so I don't see what's become of me."
