Why can’t Halle Berry keep a man?

Halle BerryHere we go again… another Halle Berry breakup story.  At some point you have to start thinking that maybe she’s the one that has the issues, not each and every man that she’s been with for her entire career.

After highly publicized relationships with R&B singer Christopher Williams and an abusive relationship with Wesley Snipes that left her partially deaf in her right ear, Halle’s first marriage was to former baseball player David Justice, shortly after midnight on January 1, 1993.  The couple separated in 1996 and their divorce was finalized in 1997. Justice played with the Atlanta Braves and experienced a measure of fame as the team rose to prominence in the early 1990s. The couple found it difficult to maintain their relationship while he was playing baseball and she was filming elsewhere.  By all accounts, he marriage ended acrimoniously, with Halle seeking a restraining order against Justice.  Berry has stated publicly that she was so depressed after her breakup with Justice that she considered taking her own life, but she could not bear the thought of her mother finding her body.

Christopher Williams later said, “I have (men) come up to me like, ‘How could you just leave Halle Berry?’ I’m like, how could you just leave the last relationship you was (in)? (Halle) is just a woman, but because her name is in lights, people are damned near ready to bare their souls.

“They would probably crucify JESUS again just to get with her. It’s funny because the stars that get all of the good write-ups, you go and meet them and they are total a**holes.”

Berry’s second marriage was to musician Eric Benét. They met in 1997 and married in early 2001 on a beach in Santa Barbara. Berry credited Benét with support after she was involved in a February 2000 traffic collision, in which she suffered a concussion and left the scene of the accident before the police arrived. The couple separated in 2003. After the separation, Berry stated, “I want love, and I will find it, hopefully”. While married to Benét, Berry adopted his daughter, India. The divorce was finalized in January 2005.

Berry has been the victim of domestic violence, and now works to help other victims. In 2005, she said “Domestic violence is something I’ve known about since I was a child. My mother was a victim of it. Early on in my life I made choices, and I chose men that were abusive because that was what I knew growing up… First time it happened, I knew enough to keep moving.”

In November 2005, Berry began dating French-Canadian supermodel Gabriel Aubry, nine years her junior. The couple met at a Versace photoshoot. After six months with Aubry, she stated in an interview, “I’m really happy in my personal life, which is a novelty to me. You know, I’m not the girl that has the best relationships”.

At one time, Berry indicated that she did not intend to marry again, insisting the couple’s life was already complete without the need for a marriage. She has stated that she hopes to have a second child right away. Aubry recently told In Touch magazine, “I’d like Nahla to have a sibling in 2009.”

On April 30, 2010, it was reported that Berry and Aubry had separated. Berry’s representative confirmed their relationship had ended a few days later, saying: ‘They have been split for some time, but remain friends and committed parents to their daughter’. They worked out a financial and 50/50 custody deal with a family lawyer, but TMZ reported that it is not final. The source said: “As much as it can be it’s been an amicable split. They both traveled a lot for work anyway, so they were used to spending time apart for long periods, but I think Halle has taken it pretty badly, she truly loved Gabriel and thought she had found the one.”

    Man, I guess Halle Berry really DOES have the issues! Her list of break-ups and men read like a sports action film roster with an out of place soundtrack: David Justice? Here. Wesley Snipes? Present. Chris Williams? Yes.

    Obviously Halle Berry is wack in bed! why else would so many men leave the most beautiful woman in the world? either she’s wack in bed, or she’s a complete b-word! Halle seems to be very cool and down to earth, so it has to be her sex game that sends men running!
