Ricki Lake is feeling liberated!

The former talk show host, 54, celebrated having “complete self-acceptance” of herself on Monday by sharing a nude photo of herself to Instagram.

Lake hinted to followers in her caption that she is embracing her world to fullest. She championed herself and her husband Ross Burningham, who she married in January, in the post. 

“Hands down, these days are the best of my life,” Lake wrote.

“54 1/2 years old (young!) Grateful for all that had to happen for me to get to here. A place of complete self-acceptance and self love. ,” she wrote.

In December 2022, the former stage star opened up about the “drastic decision” on Instagram as she uploaded a 2019 video of the moment, while recounting her struggles with androgenic alopecia — a hair loss condition she dealt with privately for almost 30 years before sharing her story in 2020.

In the clip, Lake buzzed off her hair while a friend helped her guide the razor. At one point, Lake gathered pieces of her cut hair and held them close to her chest.
