HuffPost
The TV personality shared her thoughts online after the network fired her from hosting the series “Kids Baking Championship.”
Valerie Bertinelli is sharing her thoughts on the “sad” direction the Food Network is headed just months after the cable channel fired her from “Kids Baking Championship.”
In a post shared to Threads on Tuesday, Bertinelli, 63, wrote, “I fell in love with Food Network two decades ago because of all the amazing ITK (in the kitchen) shows. 30-minute meals, Ina [Garten], Giada [De Laurentiis] … the list goes on.”
“I learned so much. It’s sad it’s not about cooking and learning any longer. Oh well, that’s just business, folks,” she added.
Bertinelli’s more than 314,000 followers agreed with her in the comments section, with many noting that they’ve stopped watching the network altogether.
“Yeah that’s why I loved food Network too. But now I don’t even bother to watch,” one user wrote.
