I'm on the fence with this. For one I think he was the one who wound up suing for custody, not her. And if he claims that she's never there for the child anyway, what exactly is he trying to sue for custody for? Although maybe I'm wrong about that. Also if the man is verbally abusive, and previous girlfriends have stated that he is as well as provided recorded voice messages to back it up (dude can flip out), it's not surprising she'd stay silent for most of the relationship.
I mean most women in abusive relationships, physical or otherwise, usually don't run around telling people and will keep up the happy relationship/family/co-parenting facade to project a certain image to the world and the people they care about. I mean the only reason the Rihanna and Chris Brown thing came out was because the last time he beat her ass it was so bad there was no way she could cover that up anymore. And she said it happened multiple times.
I don't think it's such a crazy idea that now that Berry's custody is being threatened, she'd feel she has no choice but to let the cat out of the bag regarding Audry's
alleged behavior.
Also this guy not getting his side of the story out to me in no way means he's innocent. I mean who's stopping him? If anything it's more indicative that he has something to hide. Seeing how he was the one who is suing for custody (or if not at least saw this coming) you think he'd at least put out a statement denying these allegations if they're not true. Or have one prepared. Not just letting people on her side do all the talking. And no one close to him so far is coming to his defense?? That just strikes me as odd.
I'm also not sure what people are basing the idea on that either one of these two are great parents besides the fact that they look good and smile a lot. I haven't read anything about their parenting skills except for the claims that she's rarely around and he's a pretty inattentive caregiver.
Another thing I don't get is why people are so quick to write off the claim that he called her the N-word. What white men don't do that anymore?? Having interracial sex inoculates people from making racist statements, using racial slurs, or just being racist period?? One other thing that bugs me is whether he used the N-word or not, people act like she accused the man of murder. I get really tired of the "OMG BLACK PEOPLE ARE ACCUSING ME OF BEING RACIST/USING THE N-WORD I'M BEING PERSECUTED" and people buying into that crap. That happened to me last Saturday. My best friends girlfriend used the word TWICE and when I went off on her and her boyfriend told her to leave she starts getting all defensive and claiming she was "being persecuted". It's even more annoying seeing blacks going around acting like that type of reaction is logical or even appropriate.
Now as I said Im on the fence. Personally I think Halle Berry has some psychological issues as well as some serious self-esteem issues. Which is why I'm waiting for more information to come out before I make any type of conclusion myself. She jumps from bad relationship to bad relationship and can't seem to stay single for more than 2 weeks at a time. That doesn't necessarily make what she says not true but to me it does raise some red flags when it comes to how she relates to and reacts to men, especially if she feels threatened. Having a couple of bad relationships happens to people but when it happens over and over and over again it's really time for you to start looking in the mirror.
That being said, (and I know I said plenty but when you type 95 + wpm it never seems like that much until you read all of it
) for now I'm leaning more towards her side. Mostly due to the fact that the men she marries and dates tend to be abusive, serial cheaters, and unstable anyway. And her ex calling her the N-word doesn't sound as crazy to me as a lot of white people (and sadly some blacks) out there are trying to act like it is.
