Overview

  • On the Aug. 7 All the Smoke podcast, Justice said he realized five months into their 1993 marriage that he doubted Berry’s readiness for motherhood as she neither cooked nor cleaned.
  • He recalled accepting Berry’s proposal after a five-month courtship despite private reservations and limited relationship experience.
  • Justice attributed long separations during Berry’s international film projects to growing marital strain and expressed regret that they never sought therapy.
  • He denied infidelity during their marriage and challenged abuse speculations prompted by Berry’s 1996 restraining order request, noting she never clarified the accusation’s target.
  • Berry’s representatives declined to comment on Justice’s podcast revelations; she remains partnered with musician Van Hunt while Justice has built a family with his second wife.
