Valerie Bertinelli fired back at "haters" after posting a tribute to her ex-husband, Eddie Van Halen, on the anniversary of his death.
On Tuesday, October 6, the One Day at a Time and Hot in Cleveland actress, 66, took to Instagram with a video message for followers.
"Strap in haters, let's go for a little ride," she captioned the update, alongside emojis of a hand flashing a peace sign, a white heart, and red lips.
In the video, she shook her head and pointed out, "It does not take long for me to get a lot of pushback when I post a picture of me and Ed. It used to really bother me. It does not. Not any longer because I learned a lot."
Van Halen died at 65 in 2020, following a stroke and battles with lung cancer and throat cancer. He and Bertinelli were married from 1981 to 2007; during that time they welcomed a son, Wolfgang Van Halen, 35.

Valerie Bertinelli found a forgotten strip of film frames while decluttering her home, and the discovery sent her followers straight into preservation mode.
The 66-year-old actor shared a close-up of two color frames showing her younger self posing in black lingerie and strappy heels around a chair. Bertinelli referred to the find as "negatives" in her Instagram caption and said she had completely forgotten she had them.
"I had totally forgotten that I had them, which is why we probably haven't seen them in print anywhere," Bertinelli wrote.
She asked followers a simple question: "Toss or save?" The answer in the comments was clear, with many urging her to keep the images from her early Hollywood years.
Bertinelli estimated that the shoot took place in 1979, when she was 19 and already several years into the role that made her famous. She joined CBS' One Day at a Time at 15, playing Barbara Cooper alongside Bonnie Franklin, Mackenzie Phillips and Pat Harrington Jr.
