‘Who says I want to keep the wrong man? I don’t!’ Halle Berry, 54, slams trolls who accuse her of ‘not being able to keep a partner,’ says no male has EVER taken care of her and claims paying ex child support is ‘extortion’
Halle Berry shared a post which read: ‘Women don’t owe you s***’ on Instagram before engaging with trolls who accused her of ‘not being able to keep a man.’
The highly-successful actress, 54, wrote on Monday she ‘doesn’t want to keep the wrong man’ and said it is she who is ‘trouble,’ and not the other way around.
Things then turned serious when she said she wrote that ‘no man has taken care of me ever’ and that paying unreasonable amounts of child support to an ex is ‘wrong’ and ‘extortion.’
Listen up: Halle Berry showed a little bit of her fierce demeanor on Instagram over the weekend, when she responded to some trolls in the comments to one of her posts
Well said: The Monster’s Ball star, 54, shared a text post on Saturday, which read simply, ‘Women don’t owe you s***’
Halle seems to be referring to her ex, Gabriel Aubry who she shares daughter Nahla, 12, with and dated from 2002-2010.
She also shares son Maceo, seven, with actor and third husband Olivier Martinez who she wed in 2013 but they divorced three years later.
In response to her post: ‘Women don’t owe you s***’, Halle was forced to hit back when one followers replied with: ‘Says the women who can’t keep a man.’
Halle replied: ‘Who says I wanna keep the wrong man? cuz…..I don’t.’
Another so-called fan asked, ‘Geesh Halle, had some trouble with men in your life??’
Sorry, what? Halle hit back when a man wrote: ‘Says the women who can’t keep a man’ – she swiftly informed him she doesn not want ‘the wrong man’
Pure misogyny: Another wrote that she had ‘trouble with the man in her life’ but Halle saw the funny side
To that, the X-Men actress replied: ‘Nope, they had trouble with me’ and added a string of LOL emojis.
The actress gave some sassy responses when one follower remarked, ‘With all of your accomplishments, fame, beauty, it seems, as if, you CAN’T keep a man’.
The Die Another Day star responded, ‘Who said I wanted to keep them? I’m all about living your best life, if you make a wrong move, course correct and re-spin and start again!’
‘Extortion’: Halle’s ex Gabriel Aubry, the father of her daughter Nahla 12, was accused of using the N-word towards her during their relationship so it appears she is referring to him on this matter of child support
‘I’ve been paying for a decade now’: Halle talks about paying more than a person reasonably needs to pay for the child and says both parties should be responsible financially
‘No man has taken care of me ever’: Halle Berry spoke about being an independent woman but acknowledged it goes both ways when it comes to support and gender roles
Her choice: Halle reiterated that she was not dumped, it was she who did not want to keep her exes
That’s more like it: One man acknowledged that perhaps Halle had so many exes because she had been ‘treated badly’ and she acknowledged his message with a heart
Open dialogue: Halle also said she merely wanted to create a topic for discussion
Berry added laugh out loud, prayer hands and fire emojis, to denote her good intentions with the response.
In September, Halle was linked to singer Van Hunt and it’s not known if they are still together.
The Gothika star also has three ex-husbands: Olivier Martinez, Eric Benét and David Justice.
