“Some of y’all get really bent out of shape when I choose to use filter,” Bertinelli says. “Which I’ve told you about: sometimes I use a filter, and sometimes I don't."

After noting that the uses a filter “most of the time,” Bertinelli goes on to point out that even so, someone accused her of wearing a wig.
