“I've been avoiding facing what I got confirmation last night and I didn't want to talk about it last night [because] I wanted to sleep on it because it really hurt my feelings,” she started. “I know it's not supposed to. Logically, I know it's business [and] budget cuts, right? But it really hurt my feelings to know that I'm not going to be asked back to be on Kids Baking Championship really sucks.”
Back when the current episodes surfacing were being taped in 2022, she was going through a difficult time with a divorce. She added, “Without sounding like a drama queen, the show saved my life.”
“Working with all those really wonderful people and feeling productive and knowing I could spread some kindness and not just wallow in my hell and just try to keep my head above water. It helped me, it was like a floatation device,” the One Day at a Time star continued.
Valerie Bertinelli also acknowledged her co-host and the kids from the show.
She'll miss being on the Kids Baking Championship, but fans will probably miss her more.
