Halle Berry's Ex Faces Backlash for Criticizing Her 'Motherly' Role

Scandalous Exposé: Halle Berry's Ex-Husband Reveals Shocking Reason for Their Breakup

In a jaw-dropping revelation, David Justice, the ex-husband of Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry, has finally opened up about the reasons behind their four-year marriage's demise. The former baseball outfielder's candid interview on the All the Smoke podcast with co-host Matt Barnes has sent shockwaves across social media, with fans and followers of the beloved actress left stunned and disappointed.

According to Justice, 59, he ended his marriage to Berry, 58, in 1997 because she didn't fit into a traditional "motherly" role. Yes, you read that right – the MLB star expected his high-powered partner to stay home and cook meals while he pursued his career on the field. The audacity! Fans are still reeling from Justice's comments, with many questioning how anyone could be so clueless about what makes a successful relationship.

"I was young, and my knowledge and understanding of relationships weren't vast," Justice attempted to explain, trying to downplay his egregious expectations. "I thought, 'If we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with?' And at that time, she didn't seem like, you know, motherly."

Berry's fans are still fuming over Justice's comments, slamming him for being so out of touch. "Motherly? She was his partner, not his mom!" one social media user blasted on X (formerly Twitter). Another person tweeted: "Imagine expecting Halle Berry, the first Black actress to earn $20 million for a movie, the #1 most desirable woman in the world for decades, the first Black woman to win an Oscar...to stay home and cook and clean. Men and audacity!"

The backlash against Justice's comments has been swift and merciless, with many fans coming to Berry's defense. "David Justice tryna make HALLE BERRY cook & clean is CRAZY work. TF was he thinkin'?" a fan asked in a tweet. Another person chimed in: "Halle Berry, a household name, was supposed to take time away from her breadwinning career to 'cook and clean' for a man I've never heard of?! LMAOOOO!"

Justice's interview also touched on the subject of their divorce, with him admitting that he didn't handle it very well. "I look back on that situation, and I'm like, she really did love me," Justice said, trying to justify his actions. "And I can see why she would be so mad at me. Because imagine if you really love somebody and they tell you they want to break up, and there's nothing you can say to get them back."

Berry has yet to respond publicly to her ex-husband's comments, but fans are still reeling from the shocking revelation. The actress, a household name for decades, was once in a high-profile relationship with Justice during their marriage. She has since moved on, enjoying a long-term relationship with Van Hunt and sharing two children with her partner.

Meanwhile, Justice is now married to wife Rebecca Justice, whom he wed 24 years ago, and shares two children with her. He's clearly learned from his past mistakes – or so it seems. As for Berry, she's still basking in the spotlight, a true Hollywood legend who continues to inspire fans worldwide.

In related news, the MLB star also spoke about his complicated past with Berry, revealing that he was upset when he found out she had an abusive ex-partner before him. "She let the world think it was me," Justice admitted on the podcast. "I thought she was dead wrong for that."

The scandalous exposé has left fans wondering what really went down in the high-profile marriage. Was it just a case of mismatched expectations, or was there more to the story? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – David Justice won't be winning any popularity contests anytime soon.
