On September 17, Bertinelli, age 65, posted a charming photo of a studio pass taken in 2019, which she still uses today. "The pic is a throwback taken by @johnrussophoto and it happens to be on my current pass to get me into the studio in New York," she explained in her caption. She added, with a touch of humor, "Which is a slight annoyance because I don’t look like this anymore, and I especially don’t look like this when I walk into the studio in the morning sans makeup."

"This site is free, you don’t pay for my content, and being nice costs nothing," Bertinelli stated, addressing her critics directly. "It literally takes more time out of your day to leave a rude comment than to just scroll on by. Be blessed and be a blessing."
