July is a month for sun, sand, swimsuits. But, the former isn’t always true. BaywatchRecently, a star revealed that she was the subject of a lot of controversy after sporting swimwear in her Fourth of July posts. Donna D’Errico recently opened up about the reactions to the red, white blue look she’d worn and also posted another stunning bikini selfie in direct defiance of the naysayers.
D’Errico, 54, has maintained great fitness since starring as Donna Marco in Baywatch and Baywatch Nights. The actress, who was once blonde, has been known for posting bikini selfies to social media. But after her Fourth-of- July post, it appears she faced more trolling from people who claimed that she was. “too old”To be wearing a bikini. Her response included a thoughtful caption. I think she was referring to the bikini. InstagramImage speaks for it self:
Donna D’Errico shared that she had received lots of feedback from women while creating her Fourth of Jul post.

Many celebrities have spoken out about ageism in Hollywood over the years. Lady Gaga spoke on the topic of aging in the music industryRecently, she shared how it feels to her often “my face has to be frozen in time in order to get a job.’ She also shared that the “community”These feelings are common among the women she spends her time with.

There’s flack women take on social media as they age too, as D’Errico has shown with this post. Carmen Electra, 50 years old, is also a co-star and often rocked bikini looks. Model Paulina porizkova, 57 years old, has actually spoken out about ageism recentlywith her bikini top. In this case, she smiled and noted:
Old is ugly. These comments are what I receive every time I upload a photo of me. This is the ageist shame that makes my teeth ache. Older women are more attractive than older men. People who think prettiness is equal to beauty don’t understand beauty. Pretty is easy on the eyes, partly because it’s a little bland, inoffensive. It’s easy to take in and easy to forget

Years after Baywatch first hit our TV schedules, D’Errico looks great and doesn’t really seem to give a wit about what the naysayers are saying.
