“This time, Halle got a redo,” Shepherd said on her talk show.
“She saw Adrien on the red carpet and she gave him a big smooch.
She told his partner Georgina Chapman, ‘Sorry, but I’ve got to do it.’

Not with my man.
You not going to kiss my man in front of me.
Brody celebrated his big moment kissing Berry on the lips that lasted several seconds.

“And he kissed her like he was ready for something to happen.
And wasn’t she married to Eric Benet at the time?
That was the first time.
Now, all that’s going to do is make Adrien Brody go, ‘Wait a minute.
I ain’t felt like this in a long time.
You done open up the door with your lips, Halle.'”
While Shepherd acknowledged that she’s also a flirt, she said she knows where the line is.
“I respectfully say hello to the girlfriend.
I say hello to the wife,” she added.
“That’s as far as I take it…
I know when to stop.
That would be a Will Smith part two at the Oscars.
I don’t play like that.”
Then the talk show host stopped roasting Berry to give her props for recreating the infamous 2003 Oscars kiss.
“Look at Adrien Brody, got his eyes all closed.”
“That was one hell of a night for him and for me as well.
He’s nominated this year.
He deserved that.”
