Halle Berry's ex David Justice trashed over ‘sexist' remarks about her not cooking, cleaning during marriage
Halle Berry's fans aren't happy. The Oscar-winning actress' ex-husband, David Justice, is facing backlash after he said that his and Berry's marriage didn't work out because she wasn't 'maternal' and didn't help enough around the house.

'So, I'm looking at my mom, and I'm a Midwest guy,' he continued. 'So, in my mind, I'm thinking a wife at that time should cook, clean. Then I'm thinking, 'OK, if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with?'' 'At that time, as a young guy, she don't cook, don't clean, don't really seem like motherly, and then we start having issues,' the three-time MLB All-Star added.
