'Oh No!': Fans Are Worried about Valerie Bertinelli after Seeing Her Arm - Photo

The "Hot in Cleveland" star's latest social media post has sparked concern among fans, with reactions pouring in after she shared the aftermath of a recent mishap.

Valerie Bertinelli recently alarmed her fans by sharing a striking image on Instagram, displaying a fresh and sizable wound on her right arm.

The October 29 post showed a mirror selfie, where Bertinelli held up her injured arm for the camera. The scar, which stretched from just below her wrist to above her elbow, appeared red and raw, hinting at a painful recent accident.

In the photo, Bertinelli held a phone with a checkered case and wore a white T-shirt while making a playful yet slightly grimacing face.

In her caption, Bertinelli, 64 explained the backstory of the injury with humor, writing, "I would ask for hazard pay, but it was my own [expletive] fault. 🥴."

She went on to share that the accident happened while working on a yet-to-be-revealed project, stating, "I've been working on a really fun new project that I can't wait to tell you about, and this is what happens when you literally trip over the corner of a stage and fall on your [expletive] in front of the crew. And the whole audience."

She concluded with a lighthearted jab at herself, adding, "And embarrassing myself is my bailiwick. 😅."

The post quickly gathered attention from her followers, who flooded the comments with messages of support and concern. Many were worried about the extent of the injury and hoped she was taking proper care of it.

One user wrote, "😮 🫂 Get well soon! I hope you had someone look at it, though?" Another echoed similar sentiments, "Girl. I am the exact same way!!!! Your poor arm!!!!! I hope it feels better! Healing hugs coming your way, dear one!"

The visual impact of the injury left some fans visibly shocked, with a user commenting, "Wow, looks nasty. Take proper care of it."

"Ouch, looks like you could've used a stitch or two 🙏💕🙏," one follower suggested, while another predicted the bruise would only worsen, "Ooohhh that's going to be very purple tomorrow. Soo sorry that happened."

Fans continued to express their reactions with comments like, "Omg!! That looks painful!!" and "Oh no!!! Hope you heal fast! 🙏🏻🤗."

While Bertinelli didn't provide further information about this specific project, her career has taken an exciting turn recently. The two-time Golden Globe winner has joined "The Drew Barrymore Show" as a regular lifestyle expert, where she is set to make recurring appearances.

This role adds her to a lineup of lifestyle experts that includes Ross Matthews, Chris Appleton, and Zanna Roberts Rassi. The show's fifth season premiered on September 9, and her addition has generated considerable interest among fans.

The "One Day at a Time" actress expressed her enthusiasm about joining Drew Barrymore's show in an interview earlier this year. She shared, "I'm going to be a part of The Drew Barrymore Show. I'm going to be part of [the] Drew Crew, and I'm super excited about that."

Known for her down-to-earth personality, the "Kids Baking Championship" alum added, "I absolutely adore [Drew]. And all the people that work there are so flippin' cool." This role allows Bertinelli to reconnect with audiences in a new format after her nine-year stint with "Food Network" came to an end in January 2024.

Over the summer, Bertinelli has kept busy balancing her new role on "The Drew Barrymore Show" with other commitments. She mentioned that her schedule has been filled with travel, particularly frequent trips to New York, where the show is filmed.

"I'll be going to New York a lot to hang out with Drew and see where that takes me," she noted, describing the experience as both challenging and rewarding.

In April this year, she appeared on the show's fourth season, where she shared her thoughts on love and discussed her cookbook "Indulge."

Before her appearance on the show, she was seen with her boyfriend Mike Goodnough, marking their first public outing together. A month later, in June, Bertinelli dazzled on the 2024 Daytime Emmys red carpet with her beau, sparking a buzz among fans.

Bertinelli had been nominated for Outstanding Culinary Host for her former Food Network series, "Valerie's Home Cooking." The lovebirds made a stylish entrance. At 64, Bertinelli looked stunning in an all-white suit with flared trousers. She completed her ensemble with loose waves, a gold clutch, and matching jewelry.

By her side, Goodnough cut a sharp figure in an all-black suit, complemented by black and white sneakers. The couple's affection was noticeable as they posed for photos, with one sweet shot capturing them gazing lovingly into each other's eyes. Their chemistry and style made them the talk of the evening.

On social media, netizens shared a wide range of opinions about Bertinelli's new relationship. Many fans were genuinely thrilled for her, leaving heartwarming comments. One enthusiastic supporter wrote, "Oh Valerie, I think you hit the jackpot!!!"

Another expressed hope, saying, "I hope this is the right guy for her." A third fan added, "I hope she is blissfully happy forever and ever; she deserves it." Someone else couldn't help but gush about Bertinelli. They described her as a sweet, down-to-earth person and expressed hope that Goodnough was the perfect match for her.

Many fans shared the joy of seeing Bertinelli find love again, flooding social media with heartfelt well-wishes. However, not everyone was on the same page. Some fans were taken aback, recalling Bertinelli's previous sentiments about love.

During a candid 2022 interview with Hoda Kotb on "Today" Bertinelli had made it clear she was done with romance. This was after filing for divorce from her second husband, Tom Vitale, following 11 years of marriage.

"I am going to be more than happy to be happily divorced and spend the rest of my life alone," she confessed, highlighting the difficulties she had faced and her struggle to trust again.

This decision came after a turbulent period, marked by her divorce from legendary rock guitarist Eddie Van Halen in 2007. Despite their separation, Van Halen, who passed away at 65 from cancer, remained a significant figure in her life. The pair were married for over two decades and shared a son.

Given her past declarations and rocky experiences with love, some fans were surprised by her new relationship. Comments like, "I thought she wasn't going to get involved with anyone for a really long time!!" and "She said she would never date again," echoed across social media.

Another follower added, "Thought she wanted to be alone." Moreover, some speculated that Bertinelli hadn't fully moved on from her late ex-husband, Van Halen.

Observers speculated that Bertinelli truly got over Van Halen with comments like, "She never got over Eddie for some reason," and, "Never got over her late husband. They were divorced." Another fan chimed in, "Got to get over Eddie first. No one wants to feel as if they are a ghost to him."

Unfazed by mixed reactions to her love life, Valerie Bertinelli moves forward with strength and resilience, embracing new chapters in both her personal and professional life.
