Halle Berry Seemingly Slams First Ex-Husband's Comments About Their Marriage

Halle Berry turned 59 in style, celebrating her new age with a reminder that she is not a woman to be trifled with!

The sensational actress seemingly responded to her ex-husband David Justice's recent comments about their marriage. The former professional baseball player implied their union ended because the "X-Men" star wasn't "motherly" enough for him.

Halle Berry first walked down the aisle in 1993, tying the knot to David Justice. Their love ended acrimoniously in 1996 before the finalization of their divorce a year later. She experienced two more divorces before enjoying a stable relationship with her longtime partner, Van Hunt.

Berry turned 59 on Thursday, August 14, marking the occasion by sharing multiple images from her tropical vacation with her boyfriend. The carousel featured several sizzling bikini shots, a photo of Berry relaxing with Hunt, and a card addressed "mom," presumably from her children.

The pictures continued with shots of Berry having a great time, including an image of her laughing while holding a coconut. She concluded the post with a snap of a chocolate cake and captioned the update with what many deemed her response to her ex-husband, writing:

"Phew…! cooking, cleaning, and mothering."

Berry's words generated thousands of comments from fans who applauded her classy reaction to Justice's comments.

"Bravo!! Nobody puts Berry in a corner," an IG user declared. Another echoed similar sentiments, claiming, "I knew you would roll your eyes with that one and post something smooth and you DID!"

The positive comments continued, with a third noting Berry was thriving while her ex-husband was stuck in the past. An IG user agreed, labeling Justice "old," "unwanted," and "washed up." A fellow supported noted they loved "the classy shade," while another penned:

"@halleberry keep enjoying your best life. DJ definitely has some unresolved issues and jealousy. People in Atlanta during that time know he was not good to you. Keep shining bright!"

Justice sparked backlash for his recent appearance on Matt Barnes' "All the Smoke" podcast. The Blast covered the story, reporting that he told the host his marriage to Berry didn't work out because of his views on what a wife should be.

According to Justice, he had little knowledge about marriage when he tied the knot to Berry in 1993. Because he lacked information, he judged his former partner based on his mother's actions as a traditional wife and expected Berry to act the same way.

"At that time, as a young guy, she don't cook, don't clean, don'treally seem like motherly, and then we start having issues," Justice confessed. He appeared regretful that his limited knowledge ruined his union to Berry, claiming therapy could have saved their marriage if he had known about it.

Although Berry's union with Justice marked her first marriage, it was not her first relationship. She reportedly dated a Chicago dentist named John Ronan before her career kicked off and was in a brief relationship with R&B singer Christopher Williams in 1992 before meeting Justice.

Following the acrimonious end of her first marriage, Berry reportedly announced she needed a break before loving again. She walked down the aisle a second time in 2001, tying the knot to singer Eric Beńet. Unfortunately, their relationship was ruined by his infidelity.

Beńet was the picture of a perfect supportive husband when Berry became the first Black woman to win an Oscar in 2002. However, she shocked fans ten days after the event with claims of her husband's infidelity. The singer allegedly confessed he had cheated on her with multiple women.

Berry and Beńet separated in 2003, finalizing their divorce in 2005, the same year the actress started dating French-Canadian model Gabriel Aubry. They welcomed a daughter in 2008 but separated two years later, with Berry finding love again with her third ex-husband, French actor Olivier Martinez.

Berry tied the knot to Martinez in 2013 and welcomed a son the same year. Their union ended in 2015 with the finalization of their divorce coming in 2023 following a years-long dispute over child custody and more differences.

Despite these heartbreaks, the Hollywood veteran did not give up on love, with The Blast sharing that she enjoys a blossoming romance with Hunt. The couple, who built a connection during the pandemic, frequently flaunted their love on social media.

Berry and Hunt made waves in May for celebrating Mother's Day with a PDA post. The video captured them in bed, seemingly naked underneath the sheets, as the actress teased the activities to come. She dropped the sizzling update to promote her "Let's Spin" intimacy gel.

Will Halle Berry's shady birthday post stop her ex-husband from talking about her?
