That Time Halle Berry’s Ex Bluntly Admitted Their Relationship Broke Down Because ‘She Don’t Cook, She Don’t Clean’

by

In a way that could only be scripted in a Hollywood movie, Halle Berry crossed paths with David Justice. It was during media interviews in 1992 when Berry first learned of Justice’s interest. Since direct messaging wasn’t an option back then, she cleverly asked the reporter to pass her phone number to Justice and requested him to give her a call. And indeed, he did!

Regrettably, the marriage ended, and since then, the ex-MLB player has shared insights on the reasons behind the breakup, primarily from his point of view. Interestingly, he attributes the Midwestern values as the cause for their separation back in 1996.

In simpler terms, as I’m currently with my mother (implying home) and hailing from the Midwest region, my traditional thoughts lean towards considering a wife during that era to be responsible for cooking and cleaning household chores.

However, contrary to popular belief, things with Ms. Berry weren’t quite as depicted. In a recent podcast interview on “All The Smoke,” Justice revealed that the actress was actually quite progressive. For instance, she was the one who proposed to the MLB player after just five months of dating. When it came to household chores like cooking and cleaning, those duties were not part of their shared responsibilities.

At that point, as a young man, I found myself wondering, ‘Is she the right woman to have children with and build a family with?’ She didn’t cook, clean, or show any signs of being motherly. As a result, we began experiencing problems. However, I want to clarify that there were no issues regarding other women or infidelity. I never had concerns about other men.

Regardless of the challenges they faced, he shared that his mother always encouraged him to maintain a positive image in the limelight. However, he admitted that there were certain incidents post their divorce that left him feeling wounded, such as when Halle Berry allowed public speculation to persist about him being the abuser she dated and damaging her hearing.

Reflecting on the past, he muses that perhaps if they were in a different era, their circumstances might have been different. He acknowledges that since the mid-nineties, there has been a significant shift in societal norms and times.

If we’d known about therapy, we might have been able to overcome our challenges. Our past experiences with relationships were limited, and since I was relatively inexperienced, I lacked a broad understanding of relationships when I encountered difficulties with her.

The high-profile divorce between the celebrity and their partner was marked by turbulence, as the former requested a restraining order due to concerns about personal safety. Despite this, their divorce was officially completed in 1997 – the year her groundbreaking movie “B.A.P.S.” was released. Since then, the athlete has stated that he hasn’t had any contact with his ex-partner.

As a devoted cinephile, I’ve always followed the personal lives of my favorite stars, and Halle Berry is no exception. She was married three times, and unfortunately, some internet trolls have tried to criticize her marital history. Some of these relationships ended on less than ideal terms, but currently, she’s in a relationship with musician Van Hunt. Reports say he proposed, although the current state of their relationship isn’t entirely clear to me.
