Donna D’Errico, 54, recently fired back at critics who judged her for wearing a bikini at her age. Responding to negative comments on Instagram, the Baywatch star defiantly stated, “I can wear and do whatever I want.” Her bold message accompanied a photo of herself in a light pink bikini, following earlier backlash over a patriotic-themed video.

Support flooded in from fans, with one commenting, “Do whatever you want, dear! Women always attack other women.” This support highlights a broader issue faced by women in the public eye, echoed by other figures like Pamela Anderson and Paulina Porizkova. Porizkova, 57, has also faced criticism for posting bikini photos, challenging stereotypes by asserting, “Beauty equals youth, but beauty can be sharp and powerful.” She argues that age enhances beauty, contrasting with perceptions of aging as unattractive.

These women’s responses underline a cultural debate about age and beauty, advocating for freedom in self-expression regardless of age-based stereotypes.
