I can imagine the enormous pressure celebrities face on a daily basis. While criticism of their work is often unavoidable and sometimes even justified, it’s unrealistic to expect every artist to hit the mark every time. Just as entertainers can have nights off, it’s part of the job.
However, in today’s world, one would hope that public figures would rise above personal attacks and online trolling. Unfortunately, that is not the case. The internet has become a giant megaphone that amplifies every opinion and makes it easy for anyone to voice negativity. Not only do celebrities have to deal with real-life encounters with angry fans, but they also have to deal with a barrage of harsh comments when sharing moments from their lives on social media.
Halle Berry experienced this first hand over the weekend when she posted a stunning nude photo of herself. The Oscar-winning actress posted a picture of herself on a balcony, holding a glass of wine and nothing else, with the caption: “Doing what I want to do.”
While many fans praised her for the stunning shot, there were of course negative reactions as well. One critic voiced her disapproval and suggested that at her age, she should focus on family instead of sharing nude photos.
Given her long-standing status as a Hollywood icon, you’d think Berry would ignore such negativity. But the Catwoman star had a witty response that her followers found entertaining. She retweeted the criticism, adding, “Did you know a shrimp’s heart is in its head?”
Fans rallied around her, with one commenter saying, “As someone your age, keep living your best life and sharing whatever you want.” Another added, “Imagine being upset because a beautiful woman is proud of her body, that can’t be me.” Even actress Audra McDonald chimed in, saying, “You won the internet today with this backlash.”
In fact, Berry’s smart response garnered far more positive attention than the initial criticism. It’s refreshing to see someone stand up to narrow-minded bullies. What do you think about Halle Berry and her decision to share this nude photo? Do you think she crossed any boundaries? Share your opinion in the comments!
Megyn Kelly openly criticizes Robert De Niro, calling him “colossally stupid.”
Megyn Kelly has ‘destroyed’ Robert De Niro’s comments on the American people.. During an interview on “The Megyn Kelly Show,” she discussed the actor’s political activism and its potential impact.
Megyn Kelly recently criticized Robert De Niro’s political views on her show, “The Megyn Kelly Show.” She talked about how the actor often speaks out about American politics. Kelly also remembered an interview she did while working at Fox News, where De Niro first criticized Donald Trump during his campaign against Hillary Clinton.
Kelly wondered if De Niro’s activism really makes a difference, pointing out that his efforts didn’t stop Trump from winning in 2016. She asked, “If he couldn’t make a difference then, why does he think he can now?”
Recalling her time at Fox News, Kelly mentioned an exclusive interview where De Niro openly criticized Trump for the first time during his campaign against Hillary Clinton.
“We had Robert De Niro on camera in an exclusive rant about the ex president.” Kelly said. “It was the first time he’d really come out and said how he felt about politics. And we broke that on my show, when he ran against Hillary.”
Kelly questioned the effectiveness of De Niro’s efforts, pointing out that the actor’s involvement did not prevent the victory in 2016. “So if he couldn’t make any change in 2016 why does he think he can do it now?” she asked.
Her comments came after De Niro held a press conference expressing his love for the city and his fears about Trump’s potential to cause widespread destruction. “I love this city,” De Niro said. “I don’t want to destroy it. But they will destroy not only the city but the country, and eventually he could destroy the world.”
Kelly did not hold back in her criticism. “It’s so stupid it was colossally stupid,” she said. “If you’re going to send somebody to go speak there, make it someone who is universally beloved. Robert De Niro has gone so hard partisan for the past eight years he is like the number one example of Trump derangement syndrome.”
Kelly’s remarks highlight her view that De Niro’s strong partisan stance over the years makes him an ineffective choice for such a politically charged event.
