David Justice on Halle Berry "She don't cook, don't clean, don't really seem like motherly. Update: Halle Berry trolls DJ on her Birthday

[O.Red]

Stupidity identified.

I mean I don't disagree, but let's contextualize this

90s Halle Berry is a top 10 all time fine woman. Most men would share the exact same sentiment as what you bolded

Hell a lot of men would share that sentiment about her right now at 60

Again I agree it's stupid, but I understand

What’s the point of this thread?

David Justice is a 59 year old man explaining why his marriage at 26-27 years old didn’t work.

Are you all trying to act like he is sharing relationship gems?

That exchange is more about his own immaturity and inexperience than anything.

That’s the thing! The clip itself is rather benign; it’s the ridiculous headlines stirring up the drama!
He actually didn’t say anything bad about her in that clip.

No one is mad that men have standards.

The issue is some of y’all be hypocritical when it comes to the “standards” conversation.

It’s ok for a man who wants a woman to be traditional PURPOSELY marries a non-traditional woman, complains and divorces her. He has standards so he walked away.


But if a woman marries a man who isn’t “traditional” and decides she needs a divorce because she realizes she married the wrong type of man, men say “you should’ve chose better! That’s your fault! You don’t deserve better!”


That’s all. We’re giving him what y’all give to women.

If she wasn’t what he wanted he should’ve figured that out before marrying her.

“My heart wasn’t really in it but I didn’t want to upset her so I went ahead and married her anyway”. Sounds like an idiot. <— at least that’s what ppl would say if he were a woman regretting her first marriage.

Take your personal feelings out of it and look at the big picture. Anyone that feels that they are in a dead-end marriage has a right to move on. They were young. He married her. He learned that they were not compatible. He moved on. At the end of the day that was the noble thing to do; and the right thing for HIM.

He did not stay and beat her ass to make her do the things that he valued in a wife. He didn't drag things out and make both of them miserable. He saw something that was an issue for HIM; so he took steps to correct it.

Excuses

You knew that before getting into a relationship with her.

I’m so glad I was born male … I couldn’t imagine the bullshyt you women have to deal with from men.

His biggest mistake was saying yes to a woman proposing to him. He didn’t want to disappoint her.

Never put a woman’s happiness above your own because we don’t reciprocate and rarely do the same.

And sorry any woman proposing to a man is afraid of losing him and trying to strong arm him into marriage. Never accept a woman’s proposal - she is insecure if she asks and that insecurity will last your entire relationship.

“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," the father-of-three added. "It's just... because I was young and had only been in one real relationship before her."

This is a currently married man with kids telling the world he probably could’ve worked it out with Halle Berry. That’s all this boils down to.

I’m sure his wife loved this.

Damn

Let me ask you this... You think the average everyday working class women have maids/chefs and eat out 2 to 3 times a day?

We’re average women. We probably should know how to keep a home. However men should also know how to maintain a certain standard in their homes.


If I were a millionaire celebrity?? Hell naw I wouldn’t be cooking and cleaning everyday


Regular ass ppl have cleaning services we hire NOW; that’s why there are so many of those damn companies everywhere in every neighborhood!


If I were a celeb I damn sure wouldn’t be lifting a finger.

 

[O.Red]

Y'all should be ashamed for getting stirred up and debating over this regular ass clip From "My Mixtapez"

Let me get my ass the fukk on outta here

Yeah this this thread has ran a totally different direction than the content of his words

Unfortunate

Well, this is TLR

 

[Rekkapryde]

I think it boils down to culture.. Dude mentioned that he grew up watching his mom work, cook and maintain a household.. He noticed Halle didn't do those things and questioned if she was the right choice for him.. I see nothing wrong with that.. That's what dating is for, for us men.. To vet chics to see if there right for the type of marriage we want.. For me, a woman who can't cook, keep a house and rear children is huge red flag to me.

If you got lil kids in the house, it would be in everybody's best interest to lift some fingers.....regardless of your social/financial status…..otherwise you gonna wake up one day and be dumfounded that your kids know how to speak Spanish or wonder why they yell random shyt in Tagalog.....

I AGREE. And you should take the blinders off in this thread.


The point is nikkas are shytting on HALLE BERRY instead of simply saying “He realized they weren’t compatible so he left”.


That’s literally all that needs to be said.


Instead we got men saying a superstar is worthless outside of the bedroom because she didn’t cook and clean as a busy, young actress.
The shyt is stupid. If you’re going to tell me to take my feelings out of it tell the Coli brehs the same thing cuz they have 10x more vitriol than Justice and the dude interviewing him.

 

[Ziggiy]

Lmao is Beyonce worthless outside the bedroom?


What exactly is one expecting when they marry a damn entertainer with a full time career, like them?

He literally married a working actress who had a name. Tf did he expect?

You hire help/staff to handle those things like any other celebrity.

Hell, famous men are married to non-famous women and their no-name
wives don’t lift a damn finger, but y’all expect Halle Berry to be a domestic goddess?

You think all these WAGs chasing/married to athletes are scrubbing floors????!
Going to Walmart and Target to buy swiffer wet jets to keep the floors clean?!





That’s the whole point in marrying rich, and this pro athlete married a woman who was bringing her own money fame to the table.

Nah. She wasn’t gonna be cooking and cleaning like his Midwestern mother.

In all fairness I feel like people are taking D.J. words out of proper context. I think he’s more so putting the blame on himself and his naïveté at a young age for the marriage not working out. He admitted he was young, not very experienced with relationships, and was drawing his expectations of what a wife was on his mother and how he was raised. He even said that if he would have known about therapy back then that he thinks they could have continued as a couple because they didn’t have any real issues.

I didn’t get the feeling he was calling her worthless at all. He honestly just wasn’t ready to be married and didn’t have the tools back then to evolve his thinking of what marriage could/should be.

Seems like he did both of them a favor when he moved on.

 

[badboys11]

No one is saying Halle doesn’t have issues.

(Her biggest issue was actually being so beautiful that no one probably checked her on anything just so that they could claim/be with her.)

What we’re saying is dude married a woman knowing she was nothing like what he wanted- a stay at home wife.

You don’t marry HALLE BERRY and expect her to be running around picking up after you like she doesn’t have a jet set life as well. THAT is the point.

That’s like JayZ telling ppl Beyoncé was worthless because she was promoting her album and touring after they got married, instead of at home in their penthouse waiting for him to come home in between his own tour stops.

Tf?

You’re a famous athlete who married a young famous actress. Naw, she wasn’t going to be in the kitchen like Patti LaBelle.

I know some of y'all are young

Halle Berry was one of the more famous actresses in the entire world back then, David Justice was a very good young baseball player with a promising future who many thought played for an overachieving team the yr before. He made 300k before taxes the yr prior, doctor money not superstar money.

They weren't in the same league pop culture wise. At all. Comparing them to Jay and Beyonce is naive at best.

They got married 5 months into the relationship and Halle Berry next husband Eric benet had to check himself into therapy for sex addiction. Pretty sure it was hot sex that lead to these two getting married, no 25 yr old in 1992 is telling Halle Berry no.

He didn't find out who she was crazy until it was too late.

He realized his mistake and went on to find the woman he needed to raise a family

Halle Berry never grew up, hence her leaving the scene of a car accident, and no one wanted to deal with her craziness, not even the multiple men she had kids with.

I totally agree with you and agreed to this assessment up thread.

I’m more responding to the brehs trying to act like Halle ain’t shyt because she wasn’t cooking and cleaning in their marriage. He knew that before marrying her and divorced her.

Ppl live and learn, but instead of saying “he realized they weren’t compatible” they’re saying it’s all her fault. THAT is my issue.
You don’t marry someone expecting them to change.
