Actress Halle Berry appeared to address recent comments former Atlanta Braves and New York Yankees star David Justice made about their past relationship.
Justice and Berry married in 1993 and divorced more than four years later. Berry filed for divorce in April 1996, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Justice filed his own divorce papers two weeks later. It was made official in June 1997.
During a recent appearance on the “All the Smoke” podcast, Justice suggested his marriage dissolved due to Berry’s apparent lacking of cooking and cleaning. “She don’t cook, don’t clean, don’t really seem motherly,” Justice told former NBA player Matt Barnes.

Shortly after Justice’s comments surfaced, the Oscar winner shared a series of photos on social media. One of the photos showed Berry laughing and vacation alongside her current romantic partner, musician Van Hunt. Berry’s caption seemed to be a response to Justice’s remarks, “Phew…! cooking, cleaning and mothering,” she wrote on Instagram.
During his sitdown on the podcast, Justice pointed out that Berry asked him to marry her after a few months of dating.
“There really wasn’t a lot of negative attention until I decided to leave her in 1996,” the former Braves outfielder said. “… She asked me to marry her after knowing me for five months. I said, ‘OK’ because I couldn’t say no … but I don’t know if my heart was really into it.”

“… My knowledge and wisdom around relationships wasn’t vast. So I’m looking at my mom, and I’m a midwest guy, so in my mind I’m thinking, a wife at that time should cook, clean — and then I’m thinking, ‘OK if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with or a family with.
“And at that time, as a young guy, she don’t cook, don’t clean, don’t really seem like motherly and then we start having issues.”
