Yesterday, Mother’s Day, the internet was flooded with tender “I love you” and “thank you” from users – famous and ordinary people – to their mothers.

In this atmosphere of love and tenderness, there was a jarring dissonance: Halle Berry’s partner thought to say “happy birthday” to her by posting a topless photo of the star – impressive admittedly but completely irrelevant and inappropriate to the mood of the day .

Van Hunt uploaded a photo of the backside of the star posing topless on her balcony. In the caption he expresses his admiration for her beauty and writes ‘happy mother’s day from the bottom of my heart’ – note the pun on the word bottom!

In the comments, some praised him for showing his admiration for Halle Berry, but most criticized the post as inappropriate for Mother’s Day.
