Halle Berry shared a post that said, ‘Women don’t owe you shit’ on Instagram before getting involved with trolls who accused her of ‘not being able to be with a man’.
The highly successful actress, 54, wrote on Monday: Who said I want to be with the wrong man? because … i don’t. ‘
Things then got serious when she said she wrote that ‘no man took care of me’ and that paying absurd amounts of alimony to an ex is ‘wrong’ and ‘extortion’.
‘Who said I want to be with the wrong man? I do not!’ Halle Berry, 54, criticized trolls on social media on Monday, who accused her of ‘not being able to keep a partner’, said that no man has NEVER taken care of her and said that paying alimony to ex-children is ‘extortion’ ‘
Well said: Monster’s Ball star, 54, shared a text post on Saturday, which simply said: ‘Women don’t owe you shit’ and the rest followed
Halle seems to be referring to her ex, Gabriel Aubry, 44, with whom she shares daughter Nahla, 12, and dates from 2002-2010.
She also shares her seven-year-old son Maceo with the actor and third husband Olivier Martinez, 55, whom she married in 2013, but they divorced three years later, and although he was the ‘wrong man’ for her, she does not seem to criticize him as a father.
Gabriel was accused of calling Halle a bad word after they broke up with the sordid details that were revealed during the battle for custody of his daughter in 2011.
Aubry’s former friend and business partner, Stephane Bibeau, said at the time that Gabriel became ‘verbally threatening’ to Berry after the separation.
‘Extortion’: ex-Gabriel Aubry de Halle, the father of his daughter Nahla 12, was accused of using the word with N in relation to her during their relationship, so it looks like she is referring to him on this alimony issue
Wrong for her: Halle and Gabriel dated from 2002-2010, but ended bitterly (photographed together in 2009)
So when a follower wrote, ‘Halle Berry owes alimony to that cracker who called her the N word,’ it clearly seemed to be about Gabriel.
Halle replied: ‘And it takes a lot of strength every day to pay it. And, by the way, it is wrong and it is extortion.
She also said she had been paying child support for a decade, further suggesting that she was referring to Aubry and not Martinez, since her son was just seven years old.
Halle later posted: ‘I’m not going to talk about a pension because I never asked or paid.
‘I’ve been paying for a decade’: Halle talks about paying more than someone reasonably needs to pay for the child and says that both parties must be financially responsible
‘However, as far as alimony is concerned, I feel I can talk about it, since I have been paying for a decade. I feel that if a woman or a man is having to pay support it is much more than they need to help SUPPORT the child, I think this is wrong.
‘I understand that some parents (male or female) may need help, but I feel that in modern times both men and women have a responsibility to take care of their children financially and work hard and make every effort to do so.’
She continued: ” The way many laws are established, people are allowed to USE children to receive money to live a lifestyle that not only did not win, but that is far beyond the child’s reasonable needs and that is ‘THE WRONG’ and where I see abuse.
Sorry what? Halle countered when a man wrote: ‘Women say they can’t be with a man’ – she quickly informed him that she didn’t want ‘the wrong man’
Pure misogyny: another wrote that she had “problems with the man in her life”, but Halle saw the funny side
“The laws are out of date and no longer reflect the modern world. This is just my opinion, I clearly don’t have the truth. I can say that I am experiencing this every day and I can say that it is difficult.
‘I fully understand the feelings of those men who feel they are and have been taken advantage of by the system.’
In 2014, Halle filed court documents late last year asking a judge to reduce the amount she is paying Aubry.
The Extant star was disbursing the money to help the Canadian model look after her daughter and allegedly wanted the money to be reduced from $ 16,000 to approximately $ 3,800 a month.
‘No man ever took care of me’: Halle Berry talked about being an independent woman, but acknowledged that this is true for both sides when it comes to support and gender roles
The Oscar-winning star had previously indicated that he was happy to pay Gabriel to look after Nahla properly, but believes he is using the money to avoid work and needs to get a job, according to the gossip website TMZ. with.
A document submitted to the court by Beauty and her lawyer at the time allegedly stated: ‘There is no case, no law, no logic that says that a healthy and active man can simply live off the alimony that the richest mother earns.
She also accused him of spending most of the money on his own needs, including $ 700 in fitness, just under $ 1,000 in clothing, and almost $ 2,000 in car expenses, among others.
In the meantime, it seemed that some men couldn’t resist putting their boots in their mouths when replying to Halle’s last post.
One wrote: Geesh Halle, did you have a problem with the men in your life? ‘
Wrong man for her: she also shares her seven-year-old son Maceo with the actor and third husband Olivier Martinez, whom she married in 2013, but divorced three years later (photographed together in 2012)
To this, the X-Men actress replied: ‘No, they had problems with me’ and added a series of LOL emojis.
The actress gave some cheeky answers when a follower commented, ‘With all your achievements, fame, beauty, it looks like you CANNOT keep a man’.
Die Another Day star replied: ‘Who said I wanted to be with them? I want to live your best life, if you make a wrong move, correct the course, turn again and start again! ‘
Her choice: Halle reiterated that she was not ruled out, she was the one who didn’t want to be with her ex
It’s more like this: A man acknowledged that maybe Halle had so many ex-boyfriends because she had been ‘mistreated’ and she recognized her message with her heart.
Open dialogue: Halle also said that she just wanted to create a topic for discussion
Berry added loud laughter, prayer hands and fire emojis, to denote his good intentions with the answer.
In September, Halle was linked to singer Van Hunt, 50, and it is not known if they are still together.
In addition to Martinez, Halle was married to Eric Benét, 54, from 2001-2005 and David Justice, also 54, from 1993-1997.
