Halle Berry's First Husband David Justice Previously Discussed Their Split

Halle Berry has recently been in the headlines following accusations from her ex-husband, Oliver Martinez, who alleged she attacked and choked their 12-year-old son, Maceo. According to the reports, the incident left their son in a panicked state, and the court subsequently granted a temporary restraining order against Halle.

Amid these allegations, statements from Halle Berry's first husband, David Justice, regarding the reason behind their split have surfaced. Halle and David married in 1993, separated in 1996, and finalized their divorce in 1997. David discussed their brief marriage and the reason he left during a 2025 interview on the All the Smoke podcast, claiming that the actress did not meet his expectations of a traditional wife by not cooking or cleaning.
