David Justice Blames Mismatched Expectations and Lack of Therapy for Divorce From Halle Berry

Reflecting on his 1993–1997 marriage, he said Berry never publicly denied that he was the unnamed ex she accused of abuse.

Overview

  • He said he began doubting Berry as the mother of his children when he realized she didn’t meet his Midwest-shaped expectations of cooking, cleaning and maternal traits.
  • He recalled that Berry proposed after just five months of dating and admitted his inexperience led him to agree even though he wasn’t fully committed.
  • Justice pointed to long stretches apart due to their respective careers and said they “probably could have made it” if they had known about therapy at the time.
  • He stressed that neither partner was unfaithful and attributed their split to youthful immaturity and clashing priorities rather than infidelity.
  • He expressed frustration that Berry’s silence on her unnamed abuse allegation allowed the public to assume he was the culprit and tainted his reputation.
