Donna D’Errico, the 56-year-old Baywatch alum and former Playboy Playmate, has once again proven she won’t be silenced by online trolls. Known for her fierce confidence and unapologetic body positivity, D’Errico has garnered attention for her bold, sexy photos on social media — and she’s not afraid to clap back at critics who try to bring her down.
With millions of followers and a thriving online presence, D’Errico isn’t just an iconic figure from the 90s. She’s a modern-day influencer who’s embracing her age, her beauty, and her body on her own terms.
Before becoming a household name on Baywatch as lifeguard Donna Marco, D’Errico made waves in the ’90s as a Playboy centerfold in 1995. Her stunning looks and charisma led to a role on Baywatch (1996-1998), where she starred alongside fellow Playmate Pamela Anderson, who also made waves with her iconic red swimsuit and connections to the legendary Mötley Crüe rockers.
However, as D’Errico's career in Hollywood stalled, she found a new stage for her voice — social media. Today, at 56, she continues to share her beauty and confidence, captivating millions of fans who adore her boldness and timeless appeal.
Recently, D’Errico has become the target of online trolls who criticize her for posting revealing photos, arguing that a woman of her age "shouldn't" wear a bikini. But Donna is having none of it. She recently posted a bold, red, white, and blue bikini photo on the 4th of July, captioning it with a defiant message in response to the backlash:
“Quite a few women complained about the 4th of July video I posted in a red, white & blue bikini because they thought I was ‘classier than that’ and ‘too old to wear a bikini’ and, my favorite, ‘desperate.’ Let me tell you something that might surprise you: I can actually wear and do literally whatever I want.”
In typical Donna fashion, she followed up with another daring post, this time squatting on a coffee table in yet another bikini, proudly proclaiming her independence from the critics. Her message? Don’t tell me what I can or can’t wear.

D’Errico's battle with online trolls doesn’t stop with just comments. Many of her photos, particularly the sexier ones, have been flagged and removed from Instagram by users attempting to impose their standards on her content. Donna didn’t stay quiet — she hit back in a now-deleted post:
"It’s not nice to go on people’s accounts reporting perfectly fine photos and videos to cause their account to get flagged and posts to get removed... There’s a group of women haters who routinely report all of my posts because it makes them feel better about themselves."
But D’Errico isn’t backing down. Despite repeated attempts to silence her, she continues to repost and defy those who try to control her image. Her message is clear: I’m not a victim, and I won’t be bullied.

In another post, she urged her followers to focus on supporting other women rather than tearing them down. Her empowering words:
“Hater women: Feel better about yourselves. Build up other women. In doing so, you can shine, too. Failing that, I guess you can simply kiss my a**.”
In a world that often judges women for aging in the public eye, D’Errico’s unapologetic approach to self-love and body positivity is a powerful reminder that beauty knows no age. Whether she’s donning a bikini, strutting in a corset, or sharing a candid moment with her fans, she remains one of the most fearless celebrities in the game.
