Halle Berry Shades Ex David Justice for Saying She’s Not “Motherly”

by

Halle Berry doesn’t care if her ex-husbandcan never let go.

Following David Justice‘s assertion in 1997 that her supposed “unmotherly” qualities led to their divorce, it became evident that the Academy Award recipient could not care less about the opinions of the ex-MLB player regarding her.

Halle, who has a 17-year-old daughter Nahla with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry and an 11-year-old son Maceo-Robert with ex-husband Olivier Martinez, appeared to mock David’s comment from August 14th. She humorously captioned her photos from a recent beach vacation as, “Whew…! Taking care of cooking, cleaning, and mothering.

During the trip, Instagram photos depicted Halle savoring the sunshine in a bikini, wine in hand, and spending time with her partner, Van Hunt. However, even amidst this fun, Halle continued to embody her role as a mother, sharing a photo from behind where she had her arms around a girl who appears to be her daughter Nahla. To top it off, on her 59th birthday (August 14), Halle’s children joined in the celebration by helping her celebrate and posting pictures of a birthday card reading “mom” and a chocolate cake.

The post seemed to tease David, as he openly expressed his conventional thoughts about marriage during their wedding in 1993, which were later discussed in a recent interview.

He pondered on the August 7th episode of the All the Smoke podcast, “Is this the woman I want to have children with and build a family with if we decide to have kids?” he wondered. At that point in his life, she didn’t seem particularly interested in cooking, cleaning, or being maternal. However, as time went on, they faced problems.

David, 59, admitted that he doesn’t think their marriage was ever meant to last.

Five months into our acquaintance, she proposed marriage to me. Initially, I agreed, though I wasn’t entirely sure of my feelings. I didn’t wish to disappoint her by refusing, so I kept my reservations to myself.

Yet, Halle is currently thriving alongside Van, who is 55 years old. Her past experiences played a significant role in leading her to this fulfilling stage of her life.

In a conversation on TODAY with Jenna & Friends on February 18, Halle expressed that her past relationships had taught her about her preferences in a partner. She shared how she’d experienced three divorces, which made her understand the aspects that weren’t working for her. Instead of continuing to communicate negatively to the universe, she decided to change her approach – she attracted what she didn’t want.

For more celebs who have clapped back at mommy-shamers, read on.

Despite Sophie Turner, who is known for her role in “Game of Thrones,” embracing a life in the limelight, her daughter Willa with Joe Jonas has not followed suit. However, pictures of baby Willa were still published on Wednesday, May 12th. This act of intrusion into their privacy prompted Sophie to share a video expressing her disapproval of this incident.

The 25-year-old mother stated, “She is my child, not by her choice, captured on camera. It’s downright unsettling for mature men to photograph a baby without consent. I feel sickened, disgusted, and I kindly request everyone to cease their pursuit of us and refrain from attempting to capture photos of our daughter, especially distributing or printing them.

The actress from “Fuller House” had to reprimand her followers after receiving criticism about a Christmas photo they shared. It appeared that several people were upset about the way two of her children were posed and their less-than-enthusiastic smiles, with one person commenting, “Why do your daughter and son [Lev] seem so unhappy?

Upon hearing the comments, Candace responded, “It’s a family photo I shared, yet everyone seems to focus on what they dislike or find amusing. Let’s aim for something more positive next time, please.

Regardless of age, impoliteness is still impoliteness. Strive to be kinder. I hope the best for our humanity, she further stated in a separate Facebook post. Good manners and empathy are key. If you dislike something, simply move past it. Remember there are people with genuine emotions behind every digital interface.

Khloe Kardashian, one of The Good American’s co-founders and mother to True Thompson, expressed her exhaustion over the negative comments regarding her parenting, specifically concerning an instance where she attended a charity event without her daughter. In an interview with TopMob News’ Zanna Roberts Rassi, Khloe shared these sentiments openly.

Last weekend, I attended a charity event and was actively working towards raising funds for cancer research. However, I’ve been receiving criticism for being somewhere on a Sunday, as I shared with Rassi. I responded by asking, “What more could I do? My father is with me, you insensitive person.

Following a post of her daughter throwing a tantrum during dinner, Jana Kramer faced criticism online. In response, the singer-actress used her Instagram Story to respond defensively, saying, “You aren’t aware of our household situation and have no idea what’s happening here. Kindly refrain from commenting on why my child is behaving that way. Appreciate it.

Ayesha Curry doesn’t appreciate harsh remarks about her family, especially regarding personal matters like pregnancy. When she shared a family photo on Instagram, one user asked if she was pregnant again. To which she replied with a laugh, “Not at all! My 30 lb son just makes it look like I am in every picture.

“If that kid is 30lbs he’s got some serious health issues going on,” another Instagram user wrote.

After seeing this comment, Ayesha clapped back, “excuse you? No. Just no.”

Critics who critique mothers were targeting a Victoria’s Secret model, as they noticed her enjoying some sunbathing sessions merely weeks following the birth of her second son named Ariel.

Through a post on her Instagram stories, the South African expressed, “Here I am 12 days after giving birth to my son. If you find fault with this… Take a look in the mirror. Modern society can be incredibly harsh towards each other. Current beauty ideals are often unattainable for women. I have no qualms about displaying my post-pregnancy belly; instead, I am proud of it. After all, I grew my son inside me for nine months, and I believe I’ve more than earned the right to carry a bit of extra tummy.

She concluded her statement with a reminder to her audience: “Ladies, remember we’re all going through this journey together, let’s be kind to one another.

During an exhilarating holiday in Italy, this energetic mother momentarily paused her sunbathing to address a question on Instagram about the location of the Disick kids.

In response, my 39-year-old self replied that my son was capturing the moment with a camera, while the others were seated at a table opposite me. I appreciated your thoughtfulness very much.

Indeed, the beach vacation was arranged as a celebration for Penelope, their daughter who recently turned six years old. With great pride, she shared this news with her Instagram audience, stating, “My small birthday beetle fills my heart to the brim each day. I’m simply in awe of her.

In another instance of public parenting critique, a mother of two found herself at the center of criticism for perhaps not providing enough sun protection for her son named Miles. An Instagram user commented, “It seems Miles isn’t enjoying the sun shining directly in his eyes.

And, sassy as ever, Teigen replied, “He told me he loves it.”

The story doesn’t stop there. Later on, the 32-year-old found herself in trouble after being accused of setting a poor example for her daughter Luna. This controversy arose when she was caught pretending to shoplift from a Sephora store. As a result, the cookbook author felt compelled to issue a warning: “EDIT: NEVER EVER STEAL OR PRETEND TO STEAL YOUR FRIEND’S @THEOUAI TESTERS IN FRONT OF EMPLOYEES. ONE, BECAUSE IT’S WRONG, BUT TWO, IT WILL MAKE PEOPLE VERY ANNOYED AND OFFENDED ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

During a recent getaway in the Bahamas, country singer Jason Aldean and his spouse faced criticism due to their decision to leave their newborn behind, not long after he was born.

The new mother used this occasion as a chance to advise her critics on Instagram, stating, “A bit of advice for those who judge parents… it’s perfectly fine for new parents to go on vacations. After spending nearly a year being pregnant and confined at home for extended periods, some fresh air and adult company is truly beneficial.

Should you find yourself disagreeing with what I post, kindly consider unfollowing if you wish. Rest assured, your absence won’t be felt heavily.” (Brittany)

In a heartfelt message, the 32-year-old woman explained her actions-such as playing video games while intoxicated-after her divorce from husband Hank Baskett. She shared with her Instagram audience, “I put in immense effort in my daily life. I work, manage finances, care for two children, and love them deeply-all while trying to prioritize my own well-being. Frankly, some critics need to seek professional help because their speculations, based on images and TV snippets, are utterly misguided. They’re so far from reality that one could call them delusional.

In simpler terms, the star said, “I only drink to celebrate, and I truly cherish my friends. Eventually, I will receive recognition for all my efforts, but until then, I’ll continue living life on my own terms.

Lately, the star of Flip or Flop has been under scrutiny due to a picture showing her young child near a swimming pool on Instagram. The concerned user made it clear they were not casting judgment on the star as a mother, instead expressing their concern, “Nobody is being critical, but as a parent, it’s worrying to see a toddler so close to a pool!

The designer, who has faced criticisms similar to a mother’s before, swiftly responded, “Wow! If he fell into it, it’s only about a foot deep, so he would be fine. By the way, he’s not new to the pool, but thanks for your ‘concern’, which seems more like judgment. And most importantly, I’m right there and could reach him in just 3 seconds! Shaking my head at this……!!!

Ever since that legendary tweet by the reality star, showcasing North West’s first swimming lesson back in December 2013, I, as an ardent fan, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of indignation. A Twitter critic, apparently trying to be witty, took it upon themselves to remark on the TopMob star, suggesting it was refreshing to see mother and daughter spending time together “for a change.” I, for one, found this comment completely unwarranted and disheartening, as their bond is something beautiful that should never be tarnished by such remarks.

Kim swiftly responded, “It sounds quite naive of you to think that because I don’t constantly share my daughter’s life on social media, I must not be with her all the time. We choose what we want to share. And just because I attend my fiance’s shows and post pictures doesn’t mean I neglect my child. When the baby sleeps or naps, parents are allowed to work, support each other, and even enjoy themselves occasionally.

In 2016, a photo of her sons in swimming trunks that she shared online attracted criticism on social media due to concerns about their perceived slimness.

Indeed, she posted on Twitter that she withholds nourishment from her children and set a new record by blocking more people than ever before. Laughing it off with ‘Happy 4th’, she followed up later by expressing amusement at receiving articles about the risks of being vegan, suggesting they be shared with someone who actually follows that lifestyle.

In response to constant criticism about parenting, John Legend’s partner, who temporarily made her Twitter account private, proactively addressed mommy-shaming concerns in a 2016 video post featuring their daughter Luna. The caption read, “We miss you, daddy! Can’t wait for you to return!” The post clarified various misconceptions about Luna’s appearance, such as her rosy cheeks being due to eczema and not gluten allergy, makeup, or perfume, and emphasized that she was simply a baby.

The entertainer/artist sparked disagreement by sharing a picture of herself kissing her son Luca on the lips, which some people found objectionable. Later, she responded to critics saying, “If you find a loving kiss between a mother and her four-year-old ‘inappropriate,’ feel free to unfollow me with your skewed perspectives and judgments.

The star of Bachelor in Paradise expressed, “I usually avoid responding to internet bullies… but their behavior is simply unmanageable lately!

I’d like to clarify that my children do have a father who is actively involved in their lives. It’s possible for them to spend time with him when I’m not with them, so please don’t assume I’m neglecting them just because you don’t see them with me all the time. If you comment something like ‘mother of the year’ or ‘where are her kids?’ in a picture of me on a weekend, it’s likely that my daughters are with their dad.”

Stanton and her ex-husband, Nick Buonfiglio, share daughters Charlie and Kinsley.

During her second pregnancy, the woman known as Six Pack Mom responded to body shamers who criticized her fit physique during pregnancy. In August, this popular social media figure (who was 7 months pregnant) posted on her account, “Our bodies are simply amazing, and I feel grateful to carry another healthy baby within me! I opt to stay optimistic and represent anyone who has faced skeptics, online trolls, or bullies. It’s rewarding to show that ignorant people can be proven wrong, and it’s even more satisfying to know that self-belief and trust in one’s instincts are all that’s needed.

In an interview with TopMob News last August, I shared a bit about my experiences: “At times, it can be challenging as one feels compelled to carefully consider what content to share.” Nowadays, I avoid posting photos of my kids in their car seats because the comments often turn into corrections or debates about the correct usage. Similarly, I steer clear from sharing pictures of them eating snacks in the backseat as it no longer seems worth the potential disagreements.

Earlier this year, the exuberant former star of “Jersey Shore” and mother of two defended herself against parenting criticism on Instagram, just one day before Mother’s Day.

With a photograph capturing the moment, she expressed her pride, “My daughter danced so well at the kids’ recital in the gym!

Rather than sharing photos of my children for those who value such posts, I’ve decided to disable the comments section. I don’t require criticism or unwanted advice on how to parent my child. I pride myself on being a competent mother, and I trust my abilities most of the time.” Snooki continued.

In a video shared on her app in August, Kim explained, “I took a picture of Saint, and he was sitting forward because for his age, it’s appropriate for him to face forward. However, some people criticized the position of the seat online. But what they didn’t know is that Saint has reached the weight and height requirements to sit forward-facing.

Kim stated that their older daughter, four-year-old North West, weighs more than Saint.

“If that is believable, he does, and it is wild,” she added.

In 2012, the actress faced criticism over allowing her daughter, Willow Smith, to cut her hair. She used this moment to educate others on the topic of female empowerment instead.

The actress posted on Facebook, “The question of me allowing Willow to cut her hair needs to be questioned first.” She argued that this situation highlights a world where women and girls are persistently told they don’t have control over their bodies; that their autonomy and personal power are not their own.

She stated that she had pledged to empower her daughter to understand that her body, soul, and mind belong entirely to her. In reference to Willow cutting her hair, it signifies that her charm, worth, and identity are not dictated by the length of her hair. This act also underscores the belief that children like her should have the FREEDOM to make decisions about themselves, and they should not be bound by their mother’s personal anxieties, aspirations, or longings.

The “Don’t Be Tardy” star, referring to her daughter Ariana Biermann, expressed her feelings in 2015 when some individuals made negative comments about Ariana’s weight. She wrote, “My dear, intelligent, driven princess, @arianabiermann. She has the most immense heart and is even more breathtaking on the inside. It’s utterly bewildering to me how anyone could be so crass as to make such thoughtless remarks like ‘she finally lost weight’ or ‘she finally found herself’. I can’t help but wonder what’s wrong with you!

It seems that your comments contribute negatively to society. Instead of writing negative remarks, consider using your time to write something positive or remain silent. Imagine how much better the world would be if everyone did this! Please refrain from targeting my child; she is only a child.
