“I was feeling myself. I’m feeling myself, so I thought I’d show it,” she told ET on Thursday at the Los Angeles premiere of Bad Boys: Ride to Die For. “…I wanted people to know that 50 is still sexy and it’s okay and don’t be afraid of getting older. I felt a little different when I turned 50, but I’m okay. I’m okay with it.”
Her latest outing was decidedly more family-friendly, as she attended the premiere with her children, Diezel, 21, and Denim, 22. She shares her adult children with her ex, Keri Lewis.
