David Justice Said Halle Berry Wasn't Motherly
Halle Berry was married to David Justice from 1993 to 1997. And now, nearly three decades later, the former MLB player has given his take on their split — and it hasn't gone down well. Appearing on Matt Barnes' All the Smoke podcast last week, David looked back on the early days of his and Halle's relationship and confessed he didn't 'know if [his] heart was really into it.' 'She asked me to marry her after knowing me for five months,' he said, recalling that they met in May 1992. 'I said OK, because I couldn't say no. Who's going to say no at that time?...I didn't want to make her feel bad and say no, you know, or [if] I was just in the moment.' David — who had only been in one relationship prior to his marriage to Halle — recalled that he had certain expectations for what his wife should be like. 'My knowledge and my understanding, my wisdom around relationships just wasn't vast,' he confessed. 'I'm a Midwest guy. So, in my mind, I'm thinking a wife at that time should cook, clean, you know?' After they tied the knot, David said he began having concerns about whether Halle was someone he wanted to have children with. 'I'm thinking, 'OK, if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with?'' he questioned. '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.' Off the back of her breakthrough roles in Jungle Fever (1991) and Boomerang (1992), Halle was busy with her acting career in the mid-'90s. David said they 'spent a lot of time apart,' but probably could've made the relationship work if they 'knew about therapy.' Despite this, he said he 'decided to leave her.' 'February 1996, I told her, 'I can't do this no more,'' he said. In case you weren't aware, Halle and David's split wound up getting pretty messy. In the Fall of 1996, Halle filed a restraining order against her ex, claiming that she felt 'fear for [her] personal safety and well-being' following an alleged verbal altercation outside her home. David has denied this, saying Halle was 'throwing a tantrum.' Halle has previously opened up about being badly physically abused by one of her famous exes. She has never named the individual, but on more than one occasion, David has denied speculation that it was him. Now, as he continues to talk about their marriage, David's comments about Halle not cooking, cleaning, or being 'motherly' have sparked a lot of backlash online. Among the comments, many are expressing disbelief that you'd marry a famous actor and expect her to be taking on the brunt of household responsibilities. (According to Halle's IMDb page, she worked on over 10 projects from 1992 to 1997.) 'Lol, he really thought she was gonna stop her acting career and become a housewife,' wrote one user in response to the clip on X, while someone else suggested 'he wanted her to dim her light for him.''Halle Berry, a household name, was supposed to take time away from her breadwinning career to 'cook and clean' for a man I've never heard of?! LMAOOOO!' read another post with over 140,000 likes. 'According to their net worths, he needed to be the one throwing the apron on and cleaning the house too.''If she's a famous actor and he's a professional baseball player why do you need her to cook and clean if you can afford a chef with maids ????' questioned another user.'She's Halle fuckin Berry bro.. you think God sent here down here to swiffer shit?? Lol,' someone else remarked. Plenty of others also criticized his sentiment in general, saying: 'So many Straight men don't want political, emotional and spiritual life partners, they just want domestic servants. Hire a house keeper.' 'So, he thought that he had caught a beautiful rare bird to clip its wings and keep it caged? How emotionally unsound,' added someone else, referring to a popular quote from Trevor Noah about men who are attracted to 'independent women' but actually want to make them 'subservient.' Today, Halle is in a happy relationship with singer-songwriter Van Hunt, and she shares two children, daughter Nahla and son Maceo-Robert, with former partners. Meanwhile, David has been married to Rebecca Villalobos since 2001. All in all, the reactions to David's comments have not been good. But what's your take? LMK in the comments.

This Morning cuts to break after Ben Shephard's crude remark on-air
This Morning presenter Ben Shephard was left in hysterics on Wednesday as he quickly moved on from an interview after a cheeky innuendo. Ben Shephard, a familiar face on This Morning, encountered an amusingly awkward moment during Wednesday's edition. While chatting with GK Barry about her upcoming tour, co-hosts Ben and Cat Deeley presented the segment on ITV with much excitement. However, as they wrapped up the interview, the hosts experienced an unintended gaffe, prompting an abrupt transition to the next part of the show. Concluding the conversation, Ben quipped: "Good luck with the tour it'll be great fun! any bushes on the tour?" To which GK humorously retorted: "Just me," leading Ben to jest in return: "Just you? Big bush." The exchange left the studio bursting with laughter, with Ben attempting to regain his composure, reports Wales Online. He then quickly directed viewers' attention, saying: "Here's the competition! Take it away!" GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, is well known for her participation in the 2024 series of I'm A Me Out of Here!, a defining experience she's drawn upon for her new Jungle Fever tour. Discussing audience expectations, the 25-year-old acknowledged a shift in her fanbase after her appearance on the reality show, which she's consciously catering to. Opening up to Ben and Cat, she expressed: "I've got a bit of an older audience now since I'm A Celeb, so I thought this next tour, I'm going to incorporate it for the mums, the girls, the gays, the occasional boyfriend that's brought along. "I just want it to be a hen do, gone mad, bush tucker trails, loads of audience participation, celeb guests. I want it to be the best night of people's lives, minus their wedding day." Curious about whether food challenges would be part of her audience's experience, Grace revealed she was inclined towards an alcohol-themed approach. She elaborated: "I don't really know where I'd get testicles from! I think maybe I'll just make it an alcohol vibe, but I think it should be so much fun. I've been on a few (tours) but this one is bigger and better." After her stint on I'm a Celeb, Grace has become a familiar face on ITV, rising to fame as the youngest ever panellist on Loose Women. This year, viewers will have the opportunity to see the 25-year-old TV personality take on an entirely new program titled Celebrity Sabotage. The overview for the highly anticipated ITV programme states: "Each week, our gang of celebrity saboteurs will be joined by a NEW guest saboteur, including Jill Scott MBE, Fay Ripley, Olivia Attwood, Jo Brand, Guz Khan and Harry Redknapp. Who will join in on all the action and cause even more mischief and mayhem? "In each episode a fresh set of unsuspecting contestants will arrive, believing they're participating in a brand-new ITV show. These range from cooking challenges and relationship tests to business tasks and even murder mystery games. Little do they know that these shows are completely made up!". "To make it even more convincing, these fake shows will have believable hosts, including familiar faces such as Clare Balding, Matt and Emma Willis, Monica Galetti, Jason Fox, Sara Davies and Rylan Clark. Everyone involved, from the celebrity saboteurs and the crew to the famous hosts, is in on the secret." This Morning is available to watch on ITVX.

This Morning's Ben Shephard red-faced as he's forced to apologise after blunder
This Morning host Ben Shephard was left red-faced during Wednesday's show, as they quickly ended an interview with GK Barry. ITV presenter Ben Shephard found himself in an awkward spot during Wednesday's episode of This Morning. While discussing GK Barry's upcoming Jungle Fever tour alongside co-host Cat Deeley, Ben struggled to keep his composure after a crude remark. As the interview drew to a close, Ben wished GK good luck on her tour. He said: "Good luck with the tour it'll be great fun! any bushes on the tour?" GK responded with "Just me," prompting Ben to quip: "Just you? Big bush." The conversation quickly descended into chaos, with all parties bursting into laughter. In an attempt to regain composure, Ben hastily cut to the competition segment, saying "Here's the competition! Take it away!" Earlier, GK discussed what audiences can expect from her new tour, which draws inspiration from her time on I'm A Me Out of Here! in 2024. The 25-year-old explained that her audience demographic has shifted since her appearance on the show, prompting her to adapt the tour to cater to her new fanbase, reports Wales Online. She told Ben and Cat: "I've got a bit of an older audience now since I'm A Celeb, so I thought this next tour, I'm going to incorporate it for the mums, the girls, the gays, the occasional boyfriend that's brought along. "I just want it to be a hen do, gone mad, bush tucker trails, loads of audience participation, celeb guests. I want it to be the best night of people's lives, minus their wedding day." Intrigued, Ben asked whether she intended to include audience-participation food challenges, but Grace revealed she was leaning towards a more adult-oriented approach, centred around drinking games. She elaborated: "I don't really know where I'd get testicles from! I think maybe I'll just make it an alcohol vibe, but I think it should be so much fun. I've been on a few (tours) but this one is bigger and better." Since her appearance on I'm a Celebrity, Grace has become an ITV regular and made history as the youngest panellist on Loose Women. This year, the 25-year-old will star in an entirely new series, Celebrity Sabotage. According to the ITV synopsis, it reads: "Each week, our gang of celebrity saboteurs will be joined by a NEW guest saboteur, including Jill Scott MBE, Fay Ripley, Olivia Attwood, Jo Brand, Guz Khan and Harry Redknapp. Who will join in on all the action and cause even more mischief and mayhem? "The show's format will see a new group of unsuspecting contestants arrive each episode, under the impression they're participating in a genuine ITV programme. Challenges will range from cooking and relationship tests to business tasks and even murder mystery games – all entirely fabricated, unbeknownst to the contestants. "To make it even more convincing, these fake shows will have believable hosts, including familiar faces such as Clare Balding, Matt and Emma Willis, Monica Galetti, Jason Fox, Sara Davies and Rylan Clark. Everyone involved, from the celebrity saboteurs and the crew to the famous hosts, is in on the secret."
