    This is so cool, nice to see Valerie so protective of her son and the interviewer did a great job getting him to talk. I think Eddie and Val did a great job raising him, especially being a son of such a legend. Sad that we lost Eddie.

      @@joejohnston2035 - Frankly, I don't think she's ever gotten over Eddie and food is her weakness. Booze and drugs were his. She stayed with him and tried for years. Growing up with a drunk, who smoked constantly and was on drugs is not fun, I've been there. Trust me, unless Wolfie has had LOTS of therapy, that was a classic child of an alcoholic/druggie and Wolfie has food isues.

    • @pookiepookie8669
      @pookiepookie8669 Před 2 lety

      Their split was because he could not deal with whatever happened to him as a kid. Alcoholics/drug addicts are drowning their pain. They aren't doing it because it's fun waking up every morning with the shakes, cold sweats, drinking a 6 pack to feel "normal." Yes, I believe they were soulmates - but just being soulmates doesn't guarantee happiness.

    Also, Valerie Bertenelli is wicked as well. Valerie is an icon of show business and why is that? Yes she is pretty and she seems to have done a great job raising her son Wolfgang Van Halen. But she has been known to attend the Kabbalah Center and she wears a red string on her wrist which signifies allegiance to the devil. Here is an excerpt from her book Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound At A Time by Valerie Bertinelli on pages 157-158: Thankfully, I was able to stay at home for my next project, Murder of Innocence. Although shot locally, it took me as far away from myself as I’d ever been. The character I played, Laurie Wade, was a newlywed whose childhood traumas trigger a series of psychotic breaks that lead her to shoot at schoolchildren. She then commits suicide. Though the project let me work with director Tom McLoughlin again, I didn’t for one minute like climbing into the skin of this woman. I had the feeling that the ghost of Laurie Wade didn’t like it either. One day Tom and I were walking down a tree-lined street in an residential neighborhood, going over a scene in which Laurie is in a manic state when suddenly we heard an ear-splitting squawk that I swear to God sounded like someone saying “Get off!” Both of us looked up and saw two giant ravens sailing toward each other, like two planes on a collision course. We didn’t see them hit, but suddenly one bird fell from the sky hitting tree branches on its way down and landing with a thud at my feet. I looked down and saw blood dripping from its mouth. I looked at Tom and said, “I don’t want to be this woman anymore.” As the weeks progressed I broke down into hives and rashes. They had dermatologists visit the set. Nothing worked. Something about that part got under my skin and triggered a reaction. That’s why I couldn’t wait for the movie to end. I wanted Laurie to leave me alone. Now, isn’t that sick? Hollywood is sick! Valerie married Eddie on 4/11/81. 111 days later MTV debuts. All the rock and roll people who loved Eddie and all the TV fans who loved Valerie “came together” on April 11th when they married. Just in time for MTV which debuted a few months later. Music and Television merges and Eddie and Valerie helped it a long. MTV went on to be a socialistic enterprise to destroy culture. See the 11’s? Married on the 11th? 111 days later MTV debuts…
