Halle Berry On Failed Marriages: I chose BOYS, not MEN

In on this mf

Give her credit for taking accountability tho

She didn't take accountability though. All she said was that she didn't have issues, them men she chose did. Her only fault is choices, not personality or entitlement. That's deflection.

And exactly why y'all negros need to stop saying women are "wifey" material just because she's attractive. Most of these women have issues and aren't capable of contributing to a meaningful relationship. Yet you fools put them on a pedestal because they have a cute face or a fat ass

I'm sure she had nothing at all to do with the marriages failing, it's all the men's faults.

She's taking accountability because we all know at the end of the day women choose who we will respond to and we make the choice of who we going to take seriously, who we want to be in a relationship with and we also make the decision of whether or not we're going to take your hand in marriage. So therefore she's taking accountability because she knows she made poor choices in the man that she chose to be with.

That's not being accountable though, that's putting all the onus for the failed marriages on the men. Her being accountable would be talking about the things that she did wrong in those marriages that contributed to them ending.

Also I can't comment on what she did in her marriages because I wasn't that fly on the wall

I wasn't a fly on the wall either but I've got common sense. Common sense tells me that if a person has had 3 failed marriages then that person shares some responsibility in those marriages ending. To believe that it's all about the men that Berry chose is naive. A lot of women just have a problem with taking personal responsibility for anything. A lot of women don't even hold other women accountable.

 

[A1aaa]

she really isn't owning up to anything. i can't stand people who deflect from their own faults....especially in a situation where its clear you're the common thread among the many relationships.

that's the most you're gonna get out of some chicks to "owning up", it is what it is.

when i used to break shyt down to my ex, she'd just go "well i don't see it that way"

Well can she come ride this grown man here, and I'm fine with her giving me an allowance for services rendered.

Actress Halle Berry said that her three failed marriages were a result of a bad decision to marry “boys” instead of grown-up men.

The star of Monster’s Ball, Boomerang and the soon-to-be released movie Kidnap, made the impromptu comments to a group of about 300 mostly young black men who gathered in Detroit over the weekend for the annual Student African American Brotherhood conference (SAAB)


Berry, 49, who attended the event at the request of actor Dondré Whitfield, (the national spokesman for SAAB) told the young men that they had a responsibility to treat women with decency and respect.

“As women, we need our men to stand up and be men,” she told the group, who hail mostly from colleges and universities across the nation. “Take care of us and serve us. When you do that, we will fall over and bow at your feet. But you have to start it, because God made you first.”


Berry said that she was feeling the blues last year, following yet another divorce from her third husband, Olivier Martinez.

“I was feeling really down because I filed my third divorce. I thought, ‘I can’t get it right.’ I was feeling heavy-hearted, embarrassed and ashamed. I thought, ‘Surely it’s my fault. I need help. This is not where I want to be. I should be somebody’s wife. I wanted to be a wife and mother. How I became an actress, I don’t even know.’ But I was three times divorced with two baby daddies and I don’t even know how this happened.”


While at a Halloween party last year with her daughter, Nahla Berry said that she ran into Whitfield, who she credits with helping to give her “language” to understand manhood and change her perspective on men.


“Within 20 minutes I was in tears and I was vomiting all of my life to this man,” she said. “I looked at the part that I played and looked at the part the men I had married played. I had chosen boys. I wanted to do grown up things, but I was not with a grown up. I was choosing from a superficial place. I became a monster. I was head banging mad, because it was not working. Here, I am a woman, trying to be married to a boy.”


In 1993, Berry married former baseball player David Justice. The two divorced in 1997. Then, in 2001, she married singer Eric Benét. That relationship ended in 2005. For five years she dated model Gabriel Aubrey and gave birth to the couple's daughter in March 2008. But that relationship ended in a highly publicized custody battle between the two. In June 2014, a Superior Court ruled that Berry had to pay Aubry $16,000 a month in child support as well as a retroactive payment of $115,000 and a sum of $300,000 for Aubry's attorney fees.


In 2013, she married Martinez, a French film actor and gave birth to their son, Maceo. But the two ended the relationship last October.


She told the young men who were angling to catch a glimpse of her and were later invited one by one to the stage to shake her hand, that she won’t fall for the wrong man again.


“I got it. It took me a long time, but I got it,” she said, matter-of-factly. “Now I know exactly what I’m looking for and I’ll take my time. Because I deserve that.”

Halle single again? She still one of the most beautiful women of ALL time, just naturally stunning but there is no doubt she is BAT shyt crazy and the sole reason she's still single at damn near 50 and all her success is her damn self, not the "boys" she chose. bytch, you chose them! You were the biggest black actress in the world and had access to damn near any man you want, she only got herself to blame for this.

I really believe Halle one of those women who be shytting on her man wit her success low key Could be wrong but she probably just doesn't let a man lead or let a man be a man. Probably doesn't believe in that and this is where her conflicts arise. She also just looks really annoying and needy and that gets tiring, fukking draining after awhile, probably why these men checked out after enjoying the p*ssy for a few years. Who knows really but we know for sure she's had one of the worst track records of all time wit men in Hollywood.

Maybe she just need a regular bruh like myself I'll drive her whips, be all up in the mansion, play dates with the kids

But I got my own job and business I'm a man Halle. Give me a chance

Wesley hit?

at the nikkas sleeping on this epic double entendre. yeah nikka, Wesley hit alright - he hit her on her head (allegedly) and she lost hearing in her left ear.

The funny thing is she said this to a group of young black men, like out of all places...


Can you imagine Tyson going and speaking to a group of women and then saying his marriage failed because the woman was a girl and not a woman


They'd chase him out the building then off the internet



Seriously though, if those comments are any reflection of how she treats things in her marriage then no wonder she can't stay married. She doesn't even realize that she is part of the problem.

 

[Remote]
