When asked whether she has tried to incorporate back into society following the attack, D’Errico stated that she still feels inadequate about her body.

When I was a kid, I was painfully shy and got bullied in school constantly. So when I ran off to Hollywood as an adult to pursue my dream of being an actress, you can imagine my horror at finding out that the bullying didn’t stop just because I grew up. But then I read this book called “I was a very shy child and was badly bullied in school,” and it completely changed the way I look at life. Nowadays, nothing people say or do bother me because I don’t take it personally anymore.”

“I still slip up and take things personally sometimes, and then I have to go back and re-read that book again to keep me immune to their Jedi mind tricks. I think we are living in a time right now when people are getting tired of all the judgmental bulls—. Or maybe I’m just older now and don’t care anymore. I suspect it’s a little of both.”

D’Errico rose to fame on “Baywatch” as Donna Marco in 1996. She worked on the popular program until 1998. Throughout the years, D’Errico has appeared in a number of movies and TV shows. She starred in Sean Patrick Flanery’s “Frank and Penelope.” most recently.
