Halle Berry’s Instagram photo sparks debate over mysterious substance near her feet
Actress Halle Berry caused a stir on Instagram after sharing a sultry photo from her time in the Middle East. In the December 17 shot, Berry posed in a lace teddy barefoot amidst enormous rocks in what appeared to be a desert setting. The photo, which garnered more than 148,000 likes, caught the attention of many followers for all the wrong reasons.
Despite not adding a geotag to the image, Berry had been in the Middle East the previous month, attending the Red Sea International Film Festival 2023 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. However, what seemed to be the focal point of the photo was the speculation from followers that the stunning star’s bare feet were in close proximity to a pile of feces, the source of which was the subject of debate.
Many commenters were quick to poke humor at the detail in the social media shot, while others disregarded the potential issue and showered the A-list actress with compliments. Some fans defended Berry’s decision to post the picture and praised her beauty while others asked her to crop out the questionable details in the image.
Berry herself chimed in on the debate, replying to one of the commenters who asked why she had posted the photo. “Why not? It is what it is,” she said with four laughing emojis, later adding that given the location, it was more likely that the droppings were from a wild animal rather than a person.
Ultimately, the controversy surrounding Berry’s photo sparked a lively discussion among her followers, with some laughing off the apparent issue and others coming to the actress’s defense. Despite the debate, Berry remained unbothered, showing that she’s not fazed by the social media hullabaloo.
