Valerie Bertinelli Gets Repeatedly Censored on 'The View' During Excited Rant About Taylor Swift and Politics
Valerie Bertinelli was hyped during her recent appearance on The View — but producers may not have been too fond of her foul language.
While the panel of hosts enjoyed a delicious array of food inspired by Bertinelli's new cookbook, Indulge, the 63-year-old was censored a few times on the popular chat-fest as she excitedly buzzed from topic to topic.
Early in the segment, the One Day at a Time actress quipped to the audience and other co-hosts that she'd "already been b------- backstage" with moderator Whoopi Goldberg before show.
She then switched gears to talk about the current political climate and the importance of voting in upcoming local elections.

She also candidly discussed coming to terms with body issues, telling the panel: "Just like [Winston] Churchill said, when you're going through h---, keep going. Was it Churchill? I don't care. But, when you're going through h---, you keep going."
Bertinelli has been outspoken about her weight, health and the public perception surrounding it on her social media in the past. As OK! previously reported, the Golden Globe Award winner admitted she doesn't weigh herself anymore after being told she was overweight at 150 pounds.
"By whose standards I don’t know," she captioned a snapshot of her lounging in a pool. "It’s stupid and I believed them for far too long. I now, finally, know that I am a kind, considerate, funny, thoughtful woman."
