Halle Berry's ex-husbands are calling out the Oscar winner in the wake of her messy split from Olivier Martinez. With the actress heading to divorce court for the third time after she and Martinez called it quits last week, her first husband David Justice took to Twitter on Monday night to slam the star for vilifying her exes.
“Me, (second husband) Eric (Benet), (boyfriend) Gabriel (Aubry) and Olivier were all her ‘Knight in Shining Armor’ until it ends,” the former MLB star tweeted. 'I had to say something after reading about Halle's recent marriage,' he said. So many years ago, I didn't say anything about the accusations that I abused her, but now I have three children, ages, 15, 13 and 11, two boys and one girl, and they can read this stuff and they have friends who will read it as well so I had to finally come out and say once and for all I never hit Halle Berry. Back then it didn't matter, but it's different now. Halle never said I hit her but she never said I didn't either, which was disappointing.
'Let me tell you something, I was raised by a single mother and I love and respect her dearly, I would never hit a woman. Never. So, now I have said all that I am going to say on the subject. I am not the face of Halle Berry's exes, I won't be going on TV to talk about this. I just wanted to make sure my wife, my children and the rest of my family, friends and fans know the truth.
'But one more thing...people in Hollywood knew the truth then but no one spoke up on my behalf. Again, disappointing, but that was 20 years ago and I won't be doing anymore tweeting on the subject. I have said what I needed to say so now, I'm done.'
He added: "Only the guys in the relationship with Halle know the real deal. There will be another, of course. He'll be called 'The Best' until it ends."Benét, who was married to Berry from 2001 to 2005, responded to Justice's tweets, saying, "My man at @23davidjustice is tweeting some truth dis' mornin'!"
On Monday, Justice explained why he felt the need to speak out, telling the Daily Mail, "I had to say something after reading about Halle's recent marriage. So many years ago, I didn't say anything about the accusations that I abused her, but now I have three children, ages, 15, 13 and 11, two boys and one girl, and they can read this stuff and they have friends who will read it as well so I had to finally come out and say once and for all I never hit Halle Berry."
Justice added, "Back then it didn't matter, but it's different now," explaining that while Berry never said he hit her, she also "never said I didn't either, which was disappointing." I just wanted to make sure my wife, my children and the rest of my family, friends and fans know the truth."
