Valérie Bertinelli has responded to claims that she and Matthew Perry once kissed next to her passed out husband, Eddie Van Halen, in a new TikTok Video with the help of Taylor Swift’s new song “Anti-Hero”.

In the video, Bertinelli appears to reference a story the ‘Friends’ star told in her upcoming memoir as she smiles awkwardly and says the words, “It’s me, hi, I’m the problem,” before to put his head in his hands.
“Someone misbehaving in their twenties and early thirties? Are you mortified?” she wrote about the video, which has amassed over 485.4K views and 21.3K likes since it was posted on Thursday.
“That made me laugh…I saw Matthew’s story this morning! You left an impression my daughter!! Well done!” a follower wrote in the comments, prompting the actor to respond with a peeking-eyes face emoji.
In Perry’s next memoir”Friends, lovers and the great terrible thing,The actor explained how the pair once had a “long and elaborate makeup session” while Bertinelli’s husband Eddie Van Halen passed out drunk next to them.
The ‘Friends’ star said he had ‘fallen madly in love’ with Bertinelli and she was in a ‘troubled marriage’ while they starred in the short-lived sitcom ‘Sydney’.
“My crush was overwhelming; not only was she out of my league, but she was also married to one of the most famous rock stars on the planet, Eddie Van Halen,” Perry wrote in her book, according to page 6.

“It’s important to emphasize here that my feelings for Valerie were real,” he continued. “I was completely captivated – I mean, I was obsessed with her and harboring elaborate fantasies about her leaving Eddie Van Halen and living out the rest of her days with me.”
Perry wrote that he realized Bertinelli also had feelings for him when he was at her and Van Halen’s house one night.
“I was at Valerie and Eddie’s, hanging out and watching Valerie, trying to make her laugh. When you made her laugh, you felt 10 feet tall. As the night went on, it was clear that ‘Eddie had been enjoying the fruit from the vine a little too much, once again, and eventually he just passed out, less than 10 feet from us, but still, it was my luck! he wrote.
“If you think I was really unlucky in hell, you are wrong, dear reader – Valerie and I had a long, elaborate makeup session. It was happening – maybe she felt the same as me.”
“I told her I had been thinking about doing this for a long time, and she told me right away,” Perry wrote, but it turned out to be just a one night thing because when they are returned to work on the CBS series, Bertinelli acted as if nothing had happened.
