David Justice Dragged For Complaints That Halle Berry Didn't Cook

David Justice Admits He Fumbled His Relationship With Halle Berry, Says Therapy Could’ve Saved The Day

Although David Justice said they never struggled with “major issues” like infidelity, the couple drifted apart as their careers also diverged. In hindsight, he suspects therapy could’ve made the marriage work.

“We spent a lot of time apart because she was doing movies in this country, that country. And we honestly probably could have made it if I knew about therapy. If we knew about therapy, we probably could have made it,” he said.

“We never had any major issues like that. It’s just…because I was young and had only been in one real relationship before her,” David confessed.

The issues that really “hurt” Justice came from the fallout of the split. He blamed her team for painting him as a villain and Halle for never correcting the assumption that he was the ex who abused her. She did file a restraining order against him amid the divorce; however, that was for harassment and didn’t specify abuse.

The Catwoman star revealed an unnamed ex struck her in the head so hard that she lost her hearing. Since Justice was her most high-profile relationship when she spoke out about it, the world assumed it was him. David said she was “dead wrong” because she “let the world think” he abused her until she set the record straight in 2015.

It took David years to reflect on the relationship and empathize with Halle’s perspective.

“That girl really did love me, and I can see why she would be so mad at me,” he said about abruptly breaking her heart and basically ghosting her. “That had to be tough on her. I just wasn’t emotionally mature at that age to really truly understand the magnitude of how she was really feeling.”

“I would’ve did things different back then, too. When I left her, I didn’t talk to her no more. I didn’t even ease out. ‘Hey, I don’t want to be together no more.’ Gone!” he shared.

In context, David sees where he went wrong as a young, inexperienced sports star. He wouldn’t publicly bash Halle if he wanted to because he said his mama didn’t play that. And neither does the internet when it comes to Halle Berry!

Social media has already taken the soundbites and run with them. There seems to be major divides between people who knew sports and the ’90s firsthand and fans ready to ride for Halle at all times. Check out some of the reactions below.

Fortunately, both exes moved on to find their happily ever afters. David has been married to Rebecca Villalobos since 2001, and they have three children.

We all know Halle is living her best life with her photographer boo Van Hunt. She went on to make history as an Oscar-winning actress, the first Black leading lady in the James Bond franchise, and one of the highest-grossing and best-paid Black women in Hollywood.
