People Are Praising Halle Berry After She Shut Down Critics Of Her Intimate Mother's Day Video In Bed With Van Hunt
Halle Berry, aka Mother, is shutting down the prudes and the killjoys. The Academy Award-winning actor isn't just Mother to insufferable fans of B.A.P.S., Storm from X-Men, and distressed wigs like me — she's an actual mother to two children: Nahla, 17, and Maceo-Robert, 11. So, it makes perfect sense that Halle celebrated Mother's Day last month, but when she posted an intimate video in bed with her boyfriend, Van Hunt, in honor of the holiday, some people were in their feelings about it. "Women, other women, got in their feelings," Halle said while cohosting Today with Jenna & Friends. Halle said people were asking, "'Was it right for her to be in her bed talking about spinning with her man?' Yes. And they were saying, 'Should she be talking about that on Mother's Day? Shouldn't she be with her kids somewhere?'" When an Instagram user said, "That's not what Mothers Day is all about 🤷🏻♀️ more like Valentine's Day or your birthday," Halle defended her choice to post the video.

I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day !❤️" Halle wrote in response. Halle reiterated her position on Today. "First of all, it's not Kid's Day. It's called Mother's Day." "Kid's Day is every day of the year. That's my day. And if I wanna be in bed and spin with my man, then that's what I'm gonna do." If you're asking yourself what "spin" means, Halle implied that "spin" refers to sex, a reference to the Let's Spin Intimacy Gel from her company Respin, which was shown in the original video. Her product is part of advocacy for perimenopause after she was misdiagnosed.

'We have sex. It's the most natural thing we do. Men do it. Women do it.' Halle further explained that people "saw nothing" in the video anyway because they were under bedsheets. "It should be okay to celebrate that and not be criticized for talking about love. In a time like this, in a world like this today, I'm sorry, we should talk more about loving each other and not fighting." "So whoever didn't like it, so what," Halle finished. Halle received praise for her bold stance on sexuality and how she chose to celebrate motherhood. One user wrote, "I love an unapologetic queen! Go Halle!" "Agreed! The US over sexualizes everything. They are happy in love, and have a beautiful family. That should be celebrated and children honestly need to see what a happy relationship looks like because a lot of people never got that growing up and it shows," another user wrote. This person said, "Let's just call it what it is. Hating. It's very common, just like the people doing it. Live your life unapologetically ladies. The rest of the world is!" "This isn't Lucy and Desi folks it's 2025! The clutching of the pearls, the outrage 🤦🏾♀️. Same folks that don't want their kids exposed to certain books, s*x education, but really get to clutching when 🤰🤰🤰🤰🍼🍼👶👶🏾," someone else added. Finally, someone said, "Girl you spoke truth to power!!! It's natural it's beautiful and it's how we became mothers!!! I went and took a spin with my husband after seeing this clip. lol" What do you think about Halle Berry's choice to show the racy video on Mother's Day? Let's discuss in the comments.

Halle Berry's racy pre-sex video shocks the internet
Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry has shocked fans, sharing an apparently pre-coital video to her social media accounts to spruik her own line of personal lubricants. Berry, 58, shared a video of herself seemingly naked in bed with her partner, American soul singer Van Hunt, in which the pair intimated they were about to do the deed. Mum-of-two Berry, who'd earlier in the day shared a photo of herself on the beach with her children, teased how her Mother's Day would 'end' in bed with Hunt. 'So, I showed ya'll how my Mother's Day started. Now, I'm gonna tell you about – I'm not gonna show you, but I'm gonna tell you about, how my Mother's Day is gonna end. Ain't that right?' Berry asked her partner of five years, laying next to her. 'Yes – and I wish you'd hurry up,' he said, as the pair giggled. Then came the hard sell: Berry held up a small bottle of 'Let's Spin' intimacy gel, made by her menopause care company Respin. 'It just came out in this little travel size, and since we're in Cannes, France, I travelled with it for the first time, and we're about to 'give it a spin',' she revealed. 'We about to Cannes with Van,' Hunt chimed in, as the pair again collapsed in giggles. 'Happy Mother's Day everyone, I hope all of you are somewhere SPINNING,' Berry signed off the video. The post has amassed more than 18 million views on X, where the general reaction has been: Huh. One commenter called the video 'tacky,' while another described watching at as feeling like 'when yo freaky-ass auntie and uncle FaceTime you by accident.' 'Halle ngl I feel like I'm intruding,' another person responded. 'I never thought I would see Halle Berry naked online selling a lube on mother's Day,' mused another commenter. 'Did not expect to end my day with Halle Berry telling the world she's gonna get put through the mattress on this app,' was one other memorable response. Berry's previously made headlines in recent days for letting her freak flag fly – she wore perhaps the most divisive outfit at last week's Met Gala in New York, going underwear-free in a sheer panelled gown.

Halle Berry shares Mother's Day video in bed with partner Van Hunt: 'We're about to give it a spin'
Halle Berry and Van Hunt know that every Mother's Day needs a Mother's Night. The Catwoman actress, 58, and her partner, 55, showed how they were celebrating the holiday in a cheeky Instagram video on Sunday. In the clip, the pair could be seen tucked in bed together with the sheets covering their bodies. 'I showed y'all how my Mother's Day started, and now I'm gonna tell you about — I'm not gonna show you! — I'm gonna tell you about how my Mother's Day is gonna end,' Berry said, before turning to Hunt. 'Ain't that right, baby?' 'Yes,' Hunt agreed. 'I wish you'd hurry up, too.' A laughing Berry then used the opportunity to show off the new travel-size version of her sexual health platform, Respin's and Joylux's Let's Spin intimacy gel. She revealed that she'd brought the little red tube — which, according to its website, provides a 'smooth, elevated intimate experience' per its website, with her on their ongoing vacation to Cannes, France. 'We're about to give it a spin,' Berry said. Her partner of five years joked, 'We're about to Cannes with Van.' 'Happy Mother's Day once again, everybody,' Berry concluded. 'I hope all of you are somewhere spinning.' 'Oh my God,' Hunt added. 'I ain't ever been so happy to have Mother's Day come to an end.' During a visit to The Drew Barrymore Show back in March, Berry explained that she knew she wanted Respin's very first product to be an intimacy gel after personally experiencing dryness during sex. 'We decided, let's put it in a beautiful bottle — not like a squeeze-y tube — but a beautiful bottle that you would not mind putting on your nightstand so that we can remind ourselves, at this stage of life, to actually have sex,' she said at the time. 'We have to stay active.' Berry added that she and Hunt make an effort to use it at least four nights a week. 'It's called Let's Spin, and let me tell you, baby,' she remarked. 'You will be spinning.' Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Drew Barrymore had a hot flash on TV. Yes, menopause is having a moment.
Drew Barrymore had a hot flash on TV. Yes, menopause is having a moment. Show Caption Hide Caption It's time we talk about perimenopause and menopause The hormonal and physical changes that come with menopause are rarely discussed openly. Why not? The show must go on – even during a hot flash. Actress Drew Barrymore, 50, learned that lesson as she experienced a particularly rough one in the middle of Wednesday's episode of her talk show, "The Drew Barrymore Show." Instead of opening the program with a discussion on food expiration dates, viewers saw the host being fanned down by Valerie Bertinelli, Ross Mathews and Danny Seo while she stripped off her plaid jacket. 'It's just so weird that they come out of nowhere, you know?' Barrymore said. 'I'm so lightheaded right now.' Hot flashes are a sudden feeling of warmth that most often affects the face, neck and chest and can cause sweating, according to the Mayo Clinic. Most people who have hot flashes experience them daily, and can last between one and five minutes. They're one of the dozens of symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, which also commonly include irregular periods, night sweats, sleep problems, mood changes and brain fog. 'Not fun': Elizabeth Banks on perimenopause, motherhood and bout with shingles Menopause specialist Dr. Sameena Rahman, an obstetrician-gynecologist in Chicago, said Barrymore's candid TV moment demonstrates how this physiological transition is finally becoming a public conversation instead of a shameful secret. 'This moment is here to stay,' Rahman said. 'It's such an important topic that impacts women's quality of life and life expectancy, and it hasn't been getting the treatment it deserves.' Other stars have joined the movement. Oprah Winfrey hosted a public discussion on menopause, called "The Menopause Revolution," that aired Monday and featured experts and celebrity guests such as Naomi Watts and Halle Berry. Watts just released her first book, "Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish I'd Known About Menopause," and Berry launched the health and wellness platform Respin, which offers tools on navigating menopause. It's also not the first time Barrymore experienced a hot flash on national television. In May 2023, the talk show host suddenly had one while interviewing guests Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. 'I think I'm having one of my first perimenopause hot flashes,' she told the actors, as Aniston helped her friend adjust her microphone. An estimated 6,000 women reach menopause each day, which amounts to about two million women per year, according to the Mayo Clinic. While women have been undergoing menopause since the dawn of time, Rahman said Generation Xers and Millennials are bravely going public with the discrimination and ageism they face when seeking treatment for symptoms instead of "sucking it up" like previous generations. "No one wants to do that anymore. No one wants to suffer in silence, so they're not and I love it," she said. Menopause is not only a health issue, Rahman said. A Mayo Clinic study found it costs women an estimated $1.8 billion in lost work time per year and about $24.6 billion in medical expenses. Research also shows more than 70% of women blame menopause for the breakdown of their marriage, according to a survey conducted by The Family Law Menopause Project and Newson Health Research and Education. Fertility in sex-ed: Should teens be learning it? Some experts say yes. It can also be difficult to find help for menopausal symptoms with many clinicians receiving minimal training to diagnose and treat the condition, Rahman said. But with more awareness, that's beginning to change as more medical schools dedicate centers to perimenopause and menopause. Doctors "are out there hungry for the information... they're pissed off they didn't learn this and this is all a product of how women's health has been discounted for so long," she said. "This is changing now. There is some hope and light." For women who suspect they may be experiencing perimenopause, Rahman recommends meeting with their healthcare provider immediately instead of waiting for their annual visit. She also recommends going to the appointment prepared with detailed information about symptoms and when they started, and about their last menstrual cycle. Rahman said it's also important to ask your healthcare provider about certain treatment options like hormone therapy. If their clinician isn't comfortable, make sure to ask if they know other providers who might be able to help. While hormone therapy "is not a magic bullet," she said it can be an important tool for treatment that might also include diet, exercise and sleep modifications. "We're all going to go through this period of time, if we're lucky enough to live as long," Rahman said. 'Women should understand that aging is inevitable but suffering is not."
