A photo shared by Halle Berry with more than 8.3 million followers on Instagram garnered attention for all the wrong reasons.
The Oscar-winning actress, 57, was pictured in a sultry photo on Dec. 17 wearing a lace teddy while posing barefoot amid giant rocks in what appeared to be a desert.
Although the Cleveland native didn't add a geotag to the picture, she was in the Middle East last month when she attended the 2023 Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The image, which received more than 148,000 likes, sparked speculation among numerous followers that the stunning star's bare feet were in close proximity to a pile of feces, the origins of which also sparked debate.
One user asked: “What kind of bullshit is this?” [feet emoji,]', while another said: 'Am I the only one who sees the poop?'

Another user asked: “Literally no one sees the three giant mounds of human shit???” Adding three poo emojis. “Seriously, why are you posting this photo with that shit in it?”
One user said: “Halle is one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen but this just sucks.”
One user raised the possibility that the waste did not come from a person, but possibly from an animal.
“How do you know it's human shit though?” Maybe it's from a wild animal that lives among the rocks!'
One user suggested that the glamorous image could be saved with the right tools.
“Great picture, crop it [poo emoji] That's right in front of you in this picture!'
One user defended Berry's posting of the image, saying it wasn't clear whether the substance in question was what everyone seemed to believe.
“Why do people look for the negative so much in this wonderfully calm environment?” said the user. “How do you even know if this is shit???” Anyway… Great picture, Ms. Halle.'
