Valerie Bertinelli<\/strong> is calling out Megyn Kelly<\/strong> over her remarks regarding Jeffrey Epstein<\/strong>, but she’s doing it without even saying her name.<\/p>\n The former child star, 65, who rose to fame on the beloved sitcom One Day at a Time<\/em>, took to social media to call out Kelly, a popular conservative commentator and Sirius XM host. Bertinelli posted a sweet black-and-white photo of herself at age 15.<\/p>\n In a recent episode of The Megyn Kelly Show<\/em><\/a>, Kelly said that a source close to the case told her that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein<\/strong>, who was found dead in his jail cell in 2019, “was not a pedophile.”<\/p>\n “He was into the barely legal type. Like, he liked 15-year-old girls,” Kelly shared, video<\/a> of the program confirms. “And I realize this is disgusting. I\u2019m definitely not trying to make an excuse for this. I\u2019m just giving you facts, that he wasn\u2019t into, like, 8-year-olds. But he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby.\u201d<\/p>\n In response, Bertinelli spoke candidly in the caption of her photo.<\/p>\n “This picture was taken in 1975. I\u2019m 15. I\u2019m a child. I\u2019m gonna say this a little louder for those in the back row. I\u2019m FIFTEEN. I\u2019M A CHILD. It doesn\u2019t matter that I got a job. It doesn\u2019t matter what I was doing. I was a child. Maybe we should flood the Internet with pictures of all of us at 15? #imfifteen<\/a>#imachild<\/a>,” she wrote.<\/p>\n Little House on the Prairie<\/em> star Melissa Gilbert<\/strong> posted a similar throwback photo on her own Instagram page. However, she called out Kelly directly, Parade<\/em> previously reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfacSIGN UP for Parade\u2019s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a>\ud83c\udfac<\/p>\n Bertinelli has been through a lot over the years and recently reflected on how far she’s come.<\/p>\n \u201cSometimes I forget how far I\u2019ve actually been able to come in the last year and a half,\u201d she shared in a video on her Instagram Stories while walking through New York City, PEOPLE<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n \u201cOn these streets, I had some pretty horrible experiences, some mental, emotional beatdowns like I’ve never experienced before,\u201d she recalled. \u201cAnd it’s really a tribute to our brains and our hearts and our human bodies because it does, our bodies do hold trauma.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite what she’s been through, she’s found tremendous peace.
