Halle Berry defends intimate Mother's Day bed video with boyfriend Van Hunt
Halle Berry brushed off the haters criticising her viral Mother's Day video.
Nearly one month after the actress filmed herself in bed with boyfriend Van Hunt — and the lubricant they planned to 'give it a spin' — she addressed the Instagram upload on the US Today show.
'Whoever didn't like it, so what?' the Oscar winner, 58, told Jenna Bush Hager while co-hosting Jenna & Friends.
She specifically slammed trolls calling her out for 'talking about [her sex life] on Mother's Day' when she should 'be with her kids somewhere.'
Berry pointed out, 'First of all, it's not Kids' Day. It's called Mother's Day.'
The Emmy winner — who is the mother of daughter Nahla, 17, and son Maceo-Robert, 11 — added that women should be 'allowed to talk about' intimacy in their families, saying it's 'the most natural thing we do.'
The Golden Globe winner noted, 'We have sex. … Men do it. Women do it. So we're in bed. So what? It should be OK to celebrate that and not be criticised for talking about love in a time like this, in a world like this today.
'We should talk more about loving each other and not fighting,' she concluded.
Berry began dating Hunt, 55, in 2020.
Their romance began five years after she split from ex-husband Olivier Martinez, with whom she shares her youngest child.
As for Nahla, Berry co-parents the teen with ex Gabriel Aubry.
Hunt, for his part, has a teenage son named Drake.
The couple is no strangers to making Mother's Day headlines, with Hunt posting a photo of Berry baring all on a balcony for the May 2024 holiday.
This year, the former pageant queen filmed herself seemingly topless under the covers with the musician, joking that she couldn't 'show' her followers how her day 'was gonna end.'
She brandished her lube and said, 'Let's Spin just came out with this little travel size. And since we're in Cannes, France, I travelled with it for the first time.'
Hunt hilariously quipped that he 'wished [she] would hurry up.'
Social media users expressed mixed reviews in the comments section.
Some gushed over the 'adorable' couple, while others called their video 'the commercial nobody has asked for.'

Hollywood star Sharon Stone, 67, poses topless for Vogue
Movie icon Sharon Stone has got pulses racing in a sexy and powerful new black-and-white photoshoot. Hollywood superstar Sharon can be seen posing for the dramatic pictures wearing a sheer outfit and showing off her age-defying elegance. The star, 67, looks stunning as she poses for Vogue Adria's June 2025 issue in a series of melodramatic positions. The series of sensual portraits see the actress working her magic for the camera alongside over 20 male models. Exuding old-school glamour, the star looks striking in the sophisticated shoot alongside the plethora of men. The Total Recall star can be seen perched on a man's shoulders with her legs wrapped around him as the crowd tries to grab her. The blonde bombshell looks divine with her hair gently curled, wearing a mesh see-through outfit that shows off her enviable figure. In another chic shot, the actress can be seen in a black floor-length gown, with her arms in the air. With a pout on her lips and her hair in a fashionable quiff, Sharon looks the epitome of elegance. More shots show Sharon embracing her femininity and power as she stands strong, wearing a sharp suit as she is watched by a legion of men. Wowing in a more masculine white suit, with her hair in a large quiff, the star can be seen striking a pose with her hands in her pockets, standing calmly and collectively. Lying on a table with her long legs on display, Sharon looks every inch the sex siren in the provocative picture, while a man kisses her. A couple of male models gaze at her as she lies across their laps and tugs at her white shirt suggestively with her leg around a man's neck. The international icon is wearing a sheer black skin-tight outfit for one cover with rips across her svelte body, surrounded by the models. Another cover shot sees her posing in a chair wearing a boiler suit with her hair relaxed and down. Draped in men, the star appears to be emulating her classic pose in the cult movie Basic Instinct, with her legs wide open as she watches the men breakdance. The shoot aims to herald Sharon as the 'embodiment of an independent, fearless, and unapologetic woman who continues to break boundaries—in culture, fashion and identity.' In the cult classic 1992 erotic thriller Basic Instinct, Sharon shocked moviegoers with her jaw-dropping bold character. She made movie history during a scene in which she uncrossed her legs in a police interrogation to reveal she had no knickers on.
