Former MLB star David Justice has found himself in hot water after making eyebrow-raising comments about his ex-wife, Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry, and her parenting skills.
The retired athlete, who was married to Berry from 1993 to 1997, recently suggested in an interview that the John Wick: Chapter 3 star wasn't 'motherly' during their marriage. His remarks have ignited a firestorm of criticism across social media platforms.
Backlash from Fans and Critics
Justice's comments didn't sit well with Berry's loyal fanbase, who were quick to defend the actress's dedication to her children. Many pointed out that Berry has often spoken publicly about the joys and challenges of motherhood, raising two children as a single parent for much of their lives.
Parenting experts have also weighed in, criticizing Justice for what they describe as outdated and sexist notions of motherhood. 'Motherhood isn't defined by marital status or relationship history,' noted one child psychologist in response to the controversy.
A History of Public Spats
This isn't the first time Justice has made headlines for comments about his famous ex-wife. The former couple's divorce was highly publicized, and Justice has occasionally revisited their relationship in interviews over the years.
Berry, for her part, has largely remained silent about her ex-husband's latest remarks. The actress is currently focused on her thriving Hollywood career and raising her teenage children.
Social Media Reacts
Twitter and Instagram have been buzzing with reactions to Justice's comments:
- 'How dare he judge her parenting after all these years?'
- 'Halle Berry has always put her kids first - this is so unfair'
- 'Another example of men thinking they can define what makes a good mother'
As the controversy continues to unfold, many are questioning why Justice felt the need to comment on Berry's mothering abilities decades after their divorce.
