On Sunday, May 12, people all over the world celebrated Mother's Day by sharing heartfelt tributes. However, Naomi Watts found herself at the center of a bit of controversy with a playful yet unconventional post featuring her two young sons. The image she shared left some scratching their heads, while others couldn't help but laugh.
Naomi, known for her elegance both on and off-screen, decided to take a lighthearted approach to Mother's Day. The 50-year-old actress posted a photo of her two boys, Sasha, 11, and Samuel, 10, with duct tape over their mouths. She captioned the picture, “Mother’s Day gift to myself … #seenandnotheard. Happy Mother’s Day.” If you haven’t seen the picture yet, let me show you what all the buzz is about.

Not Everyone Got the Joke
While Naomi was clearly trying to be funny, not everyone saw the humor in her post. Some fans were quick to express their disapproval in the comments section. One person chimed in, saying, “Wow, really? These precious babies are a product of you.” Another commenter added, “Really not funny when we talk about kids, very sad and inappropriate on Mother’s Day.” A third user weighed in with, “Your children are supposed to be a blessing, you are not funny at all.” It’s clear that for some, the gag went too far.
But Many Loved It
On the flip side, plenty of people appreciated Naomi’s sense of humor and found the post hilarious. One commenter said, “Best mother’s day gift,” while another added, “I find it funny and appreciate Naomi’s humor a lot.” It seems that Naomi’s playful side resonated with many fans who understood the joke.

Realizing that her post had sparked some debate, Naomi decided to address the situation. She apologized for any offense caused, explaining, “Didn’t mean to offend. My humor is sometimes irreverent.
