The Blonde Who Defied Her Age

Donna D’Errico has a message for those who say she is “too old to wear a bikini.” The 54-year-old Baywatch actress responded to critics who claimed it’s shameful for her to appear in a swimsuit at her age.

D’Errico posted a photo on Instagram of herself relaxing in a light pink bikini. In the caption, she addressed the criticism she received for a previous video she posted on the 4th of July, where she wore a red, white, and blue bikini. Critics called her “too old to wear bikinis” and even “desperate.”

To those critics, she wrote, “Let me tell you something that might surprise you. I can wear and do whatever I want.”

Donna ended her post defiantly, “So here I am in a bikini next to a coffee table.”

Fans flooded the comments with praise. One fan wrote, “Do whatever you want, dear! We love you! Women always attack other women and try to make them feel bad. You have no reason to feel disappointed.” Another commented, “Donna, you can wear and look absolutely phenomenal in a bikini. Don’t let those jealous ones bother you even a bit.”

Donna D’Errico isn’t the only woman facing criticism for wearing certain swimsuits at her age. Another Baywatch star, Pamela Anderson, also feels comfortable in her body and looks stunning in her outfits.

In April, 57-year-old model Paulina Porizkova shared some of the hateful comments she received on her own bikini photos posted on Instagram. Comments included, “It must hurt so much to post bikini pictures at your age.”

Porizkova responded, “I get comments like these every time I post a picture of my body. Older men are distinguished, older women are ugly. People who think beauty equals youth don’t understand beauty. Pretty is easy on the eyes, partly because it is a little bland, harmless. It is easy to accept and easy to forget. Not so with beauty. Beauty can be sharp. It can hurt you and leave a scar. To perceive beauty, you have to be able to see. That’s why I believe we become more beautiful with age. We have earned beauty, we understand what it is, and we can see it much better. There is no such thing as ugly and old. Just nearsighted and ignorant.”

I read Mariela’s message three times, sitting on the edge of the bed in my hotel suite, with my hospital gown folded over a chair and my pre-op test results spread across the table. “You’re about to find out exactly what you signed.” That didn’t sound like a desperate sister.

Marcus froze in front of the screen. For the first time since I’d known him, he didn’t look like a doctor, or a husband, or a man in control of everything.

My mother slapped my son over a toy, and the whole family pretended not to see the blood. I didn’t say anything; I carried him to the hospital… and when I returned with the report in my hand, even the favorite grandson stopped smiling.

Inside were three pages, a small key, and a photograph of Julian holding a newborn Matthew in front of the hair salon where I worked. Upon seeing it, Valerie brought her hand to her neck, as if the image had squeezed her throat from the inside. My mother tried to snatch the package, but the ... Read more

On my very first day at my new job, I saw a photo of my husband sitting on my coworker’s desk. I forced a smile, pointed at it, and calmly asked, “Who’s that?” She lit up and said, “That’s the man I’m going to marry.” For a moment, I forgot where I was. The office ... Read more

At 1:17 in the morning, my phone lit up. I had just gotten out of the shower. My hair was still wet, the ends dripping onto the old t-shirt I wore to sleep. A red notification dot appeared on Instagram. It was a post from Adrian Shaw. My boyfriend. Or so I thought until that ... Read more

Before I got married, my mom forced me to put my $5 million Manhattan condo in her name. She said, “Don’t say a word to Mark or his family.” I thought she was losing her mind. Until my mother-in-law took the microphone in front of 200 guests and announced that my place in Tribeca would be her retirement home.

“That condo will not be anyone’s retirement home,” my mom said, “because it doesn’t belong to Sophie.” The entire ballroom went deathly silent. Even the string quartet stopped mid-note. Diane blinked, still holding her champagne flute, as if my mother had spoken in an ancient, forgotten language. Mark dropped my waist so fast that the ... Read more
