NEWLY SINGLE VALERIE LIVING IN TERROR!
Targeted by burglars after bitter divorce
CHILD actress turned foodie Valerie Bertinelli crows she’s “happily divorced” from bloodsucking financier Tom Vitale — but being targeted by would-be burglars has her “freaked out” about living alone!
Just weeks after her ugly divorce became final, Valerie, 62, posted Dec. 28 footage from her home security system showing two suspicious men hanging around her house in the wee hours.
“We’ve had a string of robberies in my neighborhood, my next-door neighbor included,” she writes. “This is one of the men that came to scope out my house last night. I think he stops because he sees my camera lit up. The other one came an hour before him. F**king scary.”
Bertinelli adds police responded quickly to her call, but she’s still installing more security devices as well as contemplating putting barbed wire on the front fence.
“Val’s taking every precaution to make sure her property is safe, but she’s still pretty freaked out,” spills an insider. “She lives in fear she could be burglarized at any time, day or night.
“These thieves are pros and cunning as hell. The last thing Valerie wants to find is her house ransacked, or God forbid she’s home when the burglars strike.
“She certainly has friends and family she can call, but she can’t call every time she hears a bump in the night. She hates living alone!”
That said, it wasn’t too long ago the Food Network star was celebrating her split.
“I am officially f**king divorced,” she joyfully tweeted in November. “Happily divorced. Finally. It’s finally over.”
