I don't see why she's getting so much bad press, it's not like she's the only star to do it. Madonna and Kate Winslet are the first that spring to mind but there must be a lot more who have split with the father of their children and live in different countries.
Wow, really missing the point there. Neither one ever attempted to take their kids away from their exes or engaged in a desperately cynical and very self-serving public battle to defame and almost destroy their ex's credibility and worth as a father.

Seriously?.. you pick two couple that had discreet divorces... where neither side bad mouthed the other... where both sides amicably resolved child custody... where in both cases the arrangement has worked for the best interests of the child.
Then you compare it to a woman so selfish that she tried to permanently exclude the father of her child from having contact with her... and when that didn't work decided to try and take her child overseas so she can limit their contact... congratulations for comparing her with two sets of parents who make her look even more spiteful than ever.
Okay, so she's disliked on DS, I wondered why she never gets mentioned in the threads about celebs looking good for their age when she looks at least 15 years younger than her age. Her ex reportedly racially abused her but that's okay it seems...

If he racially abused her, that's not OK. But we don't know that he did. I've never heard that claim before and, given that they've been embroiled in a bitter divorce/custody battle, I wouldn't trust any unsubstantiated allegations made by either party.
not sure if Kate's first husband is wealthy but i agree the fact we haven't heard any negative press means they must have sorted it out amicably, unless there's a gagging order of course.
No he isn't. He works in the film industry behind the scenes and is now married to a teacher.

I don't dislike her. What she attempted to do was beyond selfish and very sh!tty. Awful in fact.

She is a very attractive woman... but you can put glitter on sh*t and make it look better... HB made the claims about him being racist during the custody battle... tellingly she only did it through sources and not in the courtroom... people like her are an insult to every single person who has ever been racially abused.
I recently heard that she's been trying to get far away from her ex because she's terrified of him. Don't know how true that is as I've never followed her story and don't know anything about her private life, but that's what the tour guide guy said to those of us who were on a Hollywood guided tour bus a few days ago, when we went by her house. If it's true then I don't blame her wanting to get well away from him if he's violent and threatening!! But who knows.

If he had been violent, then I'm sure that would have been brought up and used against him before. If she's been spreading false rumours to win sympathy, then she's totally unhinged.

All her exes are violent apparently and Olivier Martinez will be too in due course. Bint.:sleep:

The tour guide? Oh dear. :rolleyes:
Berry has used every cynical trick in the book to turn public opinion against her ex in order to make her new life more convenient. Has he been angry at times? For sure. Her type of provocation would drive a saint to moments of losing his cool, which he did do, but under extreme provocation from her and her lawyers.

Why would he racially abuse her? He married her and had a child with her. The same child he is fighting to keep. I highly doubt he is a racist.
Didn't Halle make some comment about Nahla being black, note dual heritage, because she believes in the "one drop" rule?
Given that Nahla's father is white, I thought that came across quite nastily.
and apparently
Halle Berry sent the father of her daughter a scorching email that said, "You were only good for one thing... Thanks for the donation.":eek:
may not be true I guess

Yes, I read the interview where she talked about the one drop rule. I think it was in the same interview she was almost apologetic about having a child with a white man.
It's based on ideas of white supremacy and the necessary purity of the white race (think of slave owners and later the Ku Klux Klan), so one drop of black blood (a black ancestor) would be enough to make a person be classed as non-white/black. Similar rules applied in Nazi Germany where a Jewish ancestor would make someone non-Aryan and so worthy of a trip to the gas chamber. To a lesser extent it applied in Apartheid South Africa.
Some black people have tried to reclaim it so that the "drop" of black blood purifies the impure non-black blood.
So, an extremely racist concept with very nasty history.

Berry deserves all the contempt she's getting.

Kate has said they're still good friends.

I think what she is doing is unfair.
He doesn't need to as she has to pay him 20k per month.

Interesting as the one drop rule was applied by slave owners. She is a a strange one.

Which makes the support of it by her, or any person who considers themselves black, all the stranger.
