In the clip Berry shared, she made her way to the podium when she tripped over a step and fell facedown on the stage. As the audience gasped and cried out, the video froze, and a red arrow pointed down at her stiletto boot as she lay on the ground.
As the camera zoomed in on Berry’s boot, the sound of a vinyl record scratching could be heard.
“Yup, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation,” a voiceover said. Boney M.’s 1978 hit “Rasputin” began to play as the Ohio native was seen falling from different angles in front of the shocked audience in several clips.
The video continued as Berry was being helped up and walking to the podium. She laughed as she held her hand to her forehead as the crowd cheered.
“OK, if I see this on the Internet, fans coming for you,” Berry said while smiling and pointing at the audience.
Looking Beyond is a charitable organization that supports and raises awareness for children with a range of special needs.
