Valerie Bertinelli described 2024 as the most challenging year of her life, leading to unintended weight loss and emotional turmoil.

These experiences served as an 'oasis in a really bad sandstorm,' helping her navigate the hardships. She also recently removed breast implants from the 1980s, which necessitated further surgeries.
