I think it all comes down to a mid life crisis ..
cant stop the aging

For an adult to say that she felt her marriage was doomed from the start, does not have the right to bring children into the fray. Women do that every day.
Such selfishness. Such lack of respect for an unborn child. Sad. Others first Valerie, not yourself. You too, Eddie.

why bring up skeleton’s out of the past\
leave the past in the past

I read the whole book in a few hours.
saw her on Oprah, she is getting some flack, but I just see her fessing up.
whats the deal? I think she felt conflicted to keep up the GOOD girl image. people knew Eddie cheated.
I don’t think its dishing dirt. in some passages she flatly said, at times she wasn’t so nice back to Eddie and says it ws wrong. she didn’t make excuses.
she said she went about it the wrong way
and admitted they were pretty much doomed from the start. so what if it also makes her some money! anyone who writes a book is gonna make money. I think it’s a great book, honest, bold and without self-pity. if you read closely KH, she admitted she was hard on mack, since she too used to coke.
but asks herself honestly, isn’t judging someone harsh,because you hate the very thing about yourself, that they are doing? pretty honest if you ask me. and by the way, Valerie is beautiful as ever!

Valerie… Don’t worry about anything or what anyone says. Everyone else can write books and tell all, but when you did it,it was scandalious. People just pick and choose who they like to talk about…it’s called freedom of speech. This was long overdue for her and her fans.I was wondering what happened to you. I Love you and Van Halen. Saw them 3x in Detroit. Good Luck Valerie and thx for the inspiration to lose weight. Annina Camacho Farkas.

As one of the female VH fans whose heart was broken when she married Eddie, I’m glad to hear that she wasn’t that happy.

Coni, exposing the skeletons in her closet is admitting what she did was wrong and is the first step in making things better.

Valerie Bertinelli looks grogous today than she was 30 years ago. I’m glad that I grew up falling in love with her.

Really Valerie is this really necessary?….don’t you have enough money?….shame on you! You didn’t need to tell the world…your shrink should have been good enough….I’ll bet this makes your ex and your son real proud!

I hope VAN HALEN tour kicks butt.I am going March 30 CAN’T WAIT. They councled in Oct.I sure hope she didn’t do Diamond Dave.I will take Eddie and take good care of him.I wouldn’t kiss and tell.I knew the whole time she wasn’t has sweet as she seemed.She always made it sound like it was all Eddie.If the guy does it the girls going to do it to.She ain’t foolin noone.

I can’t believe she had to drag Steven Spielberg into her mud. He is a very private man with younger children. She shouldn’t have resorted to droping names to sell her book. Shame on her.

Knowing you did cocaine why were you so hard on Mackenzie Phillips? All this time people thought you didn’t want to get involved in that stuff and now you tell all. I’m beginning to think none of the celebrities are of sound mind !!!!

Yea Cindy’s right “you go girl its all about you” I’m sure your son the wolf that is an excellent musician @ age 16 and has a big future in front of himself is really proud of you “dumping your mental weight” while he and eddie are kicking A— on tour. I’m sure Wolf wants everyone to know his mom and dad were cocaine addicts and screwed around on each other. Wolf and Eddie Keep rocking dudes keep making money the honest way and don’t try to spill out a bunch of mental weight to make some big money on a book. Cindy and Valerie you should be ashamed of your self’s.

You go girl! It’s not about your son or your ex, it’s about you at this point and getting it all out is very cathartic. You’ve lost the physical weight so you might as well dump the mental weight as well.

I sure hope she doesnt tell us Diamond Dave got to her as well. it might mess up this tour.

Some women cant keep their mouth shut Eddie and Wolf your doing a great job on tour dudes keep rockin..

So sad…..her dishing the dirt after all these years. Eddie has never made one disparaging remark about her in the press. Welcome to the Paris/Britney/Lindsey school of journalism.

DRUGS… LOL NOW SHE TALKS ABOUT DRUGS EXCUSE ME.. VAN HALEN… THE ‘80S… ANY QUESTIONS???

LOL… GET REAL.. GET OFF YOUR SOAP BOX AND FOCUS ON YOUR SON AND YOUR LIFE AHEAD OF YOU… WHAT HE DON’T KNOW HE CAN GUESS… EXCUSE ME AGAIN…….. VAN HALEN… THE ‘80S… BE REAL!!!

And when did you lose your self respect Valerie?
Oh yeah. Years ago.
And to tell the world?
Oh yeah. No self respect.
Your son must be so proud.
Not!
You are suppose to be the role model of your children, if not of people in general. We are all role models on a daily basis. What kind of parents did YOU have?
Time to get your act together. You can lose weight anytime. But to lose your dignity is another thing
altogether.
And no one can help you but yourself.

Why in the world would anybody want to volunteer the dirt in their life? Must need the publicity!
