"Imagine being in your 50s, still posting nudes for attention in menopause when you should be chilling with the grandkids. Aging with dignity is no longer a thing," one person wrote on Twitter.
Instead of letting the comment rile her up, Berry responded with a fun fact: "Did you guys know the heart of a shrimp is located in its head?"
The Oscar winner has often talked about embracing herself physically and mentally as she ages.
"We’re all going to get older. Our skin is going to shrivel up and we’re going to look different. I see things changing with my face and body, but I’ve never put all my eggs in that basket," Berry told AARP in January 2022. "I’ve always known that beauty is deeper than the physical body you’re walking around in."

She continued, "I refuse to become someone who just tries to hold onto a youthful face and not embrace what’s most important about being beautiful — how you live your life, how you give back to others, how you connect to people, how you strengthen your mind, body and soul and nourish yourself, how you give in a meaningful way of yourself. The most beautiful people have something radiating inside."
When it comes to societal standards for aging women, Berry said she believes people "should look at us as jewels as we get older. … Because the older women get, the more formidable we are."
