Halle Berry Has ‘Zero F**ks Left to Give’ Rips Gavin Newsom’s Treatment of Women [WATCH]

Actress Halle Berry used her appearance at the DealBook Summit on Wednesday to criticize California Gov. Gavin Newsom, saying he has “overlooked women” and should not be considered for the presidency.

“That’s OK, because he’s not going to be governor forever, and the way he has overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us, he probably should not be our next president either. Just saying.” – Halle Berry on Gavin Newsom pic.twitter.com/om6PzAWk5L

Berry spoke at the Lincoln Center event in New York City before Newsom took the stage.

“At this stage in my life, I have zero f–ks left to give,” Berry said, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

She then directed her comments toward the governor.

“Back in my great state of California, my very own governor, Gavin Newsom, has vetoed our menopause bill, not one, but two years in a row. But that’s OK, because he’s not going to be governor forever, and the way he has overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us, he probably should not be our next president either. Just saying.”

Actress Halle Berry slammed Gov. Newsom for ‘overlooking’ and ‘devaluing’ half the population by vetoing a menopause bill she backed—twice:

Her remarks reportedly drew gasps from the audience. Newsom’s current term ends in 2026, and he has acknowledged he is considering a 2028 presidential run.

Polling has consistently listed him as a potential contender in a Democratic primary, alongside former Vice President Kamala Harris and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Berry’s criticism followed Newsom’s decision in October to veto a bill aimed at expanding menopause care in California.

It was the second consecutive year he rejected similar legislation.

The proposal would have required healthcare plans to provide guidance on menopause-related treatments and mandated training for healthcare providers on menopause care.

Berry, 59, is the founder of Respin, a women’s health and longevity company focused in part on menopause support.

She said the issue is personal and reflects broader concerns about how women in midlife are treated.

“In 2025, there is a lot to still be talked about and discovered and uncovered, especially if you are a woman who is navigating midlife and thoughtfully considering your longevity, because in 2025 I, Halle Berry, and women of my age are simply devalued in this country,” she said.

“Our culture thinks that, at 59 years old, I am past my prime, and that women my age start to become invisible in Hollywood, in the workplace, on social media. Women are pressured to stay forever 35.”

In response to Berry’s comments, spokesperson Izzy Gardon told The New York Post that Newsom vetoed the menopause bill due to concerns about cost increases for consumers.

“The Governor has deep admiration for Ms. Berry’s advocacy and looks forward to working with her and other stakeholders on this critical issue,” Gardon said.

“He shares her goal of expanding access to menopause care that too many women struggle to get. He vetoed the bill because, as written, it would have unintentionally raised health care costs for millions of working women already stretched thin — something he’s determined to avoid.”

Gardon added that the governor’s office remains open to future collaboration on menopause care policy.

“We’re confident that by working together this year, we can expand access to essential menopause treatment while protecting women from higher bills,” he said.
