Valerie Bertinelli Apologizes After Dropping F-Bomb During ‘Today’ Interview

The 66-year-old actress apologized on air after two slipups while promoting her Lifetime film and later stayed for a cooking segment.

  • On Thursday, May 7, actress Valerie Bertinelli accidentally dropped two expletives live on 'Today with Jenna & Sheinelle' while promoting her new Lifetime movie 'Love, Again' on the NBC morning show.
  • While discussing her character Caroline—a caregiver for a husband with early-onset Alzheimer's—Bertinelli explained her tendency to mask personal struggles, accidentally cursing while describing how she avoids burdening others.
  • Later in the segment, Bertinelli dropped another expletive while discussing her independence and hesitance to date; co-hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones remained unfazed, assuring her they were 'just chatting with girlfriends.'
  • Declaring it the '66-year-old disease where you just don't care what comes out of your mouth,' Bertinelli jokingly blamed her age for the slips and profusely apologized to the hosts and crew.
  • Despite the mishaps, the 'Hot in Cleveland' star completed a planned cooking segment without further incidents, joining celebrities like Supermodel Tyra Banks and Bush Hager who have also accidentally cursed on the program.
