Halle Berry’s Fiery 59th Birthday Clapback: When Your Ex Calls You a “Housewife,” But You’re the Real MVP—Stars Say She’s Just Getting Started!

Added on August 15, 2025 inEntertainment News Cards

Ever notice how the stars always seem to conspire when Drama decides to RSVP? Well, on Halle Berry’s 59th birthday—a day ruled by the dreamy, indulgent vibes of Venus in Leo—she didn’t just unwrap gifts but also served up some spicy shade that had Twitter practically combusting. Her ex, David Justice, threw shade about Halle’s so-called lack of “motherly” qualities during their marriage, stirring up a hornet’s nest of old-school housewife expectations. But instead of simmering down, Halle poured herself some wine, grinned at the outdated script, and delivered a comeback so effortlessly hilarious it was almost celestial. Could this be a cosmic reminder that some stars are born to shine on their own terms—wine and cake in hand? Let’s dive into how Halle turned what could have been a blow-up into a birthday bash for the ages. LEARN MORE.

Halle Berry had social media users in stitches with her hilarious response to ex-husband David Justice’s comments about their marriage and her not being “motherly” enough.

On her 59th birthday, the Oscar-winning actor posted a series of photos from a tropical vacation with her partner Van Hunt, showing herself relaxing and enjoying wine and cake, alongside a birthday card labeled “Mom” from her children.

Berry captioned the post with “Phew…! cooking, cleaning and mothering,” clearly referencing and mocking Justice’s outdated expectations about her role in their marriage.

She also shared a dismissive GIF featuring Tiffany “New York” Pollard. 

Social media lit up with reactions to her posts, with one saying, “Halle said I heard you b###### was looking for me. B#### HERE I GO.”

Another added, “It’s the way @halleberry didn’t have to say a damn thing cause y’all went to town on him for her and she STILL made her way to Beyoncé’s internet to give a subtle smacking not once, but twice.”

Her response came after Justice publicly said he doubted their compatibility because she didn’t cook, clean, or seem motherly.

Justice made headlines earlier this week after revealing on the “All the Smoke” podcast that their marriage ended largely because she didn’t fit his idea of a traditional housewife.

He admitted he agreed to marry Berry after only five months because he didn’t want to hurt her feelings, though he was unsure about his true feelings at the time.

Meanwhile, Hunt shared “one of my favourite photos” of Berry on Instagram as a birthday tribute.

“it shows how resilient u are,” he said on the image. “The shots just bounce off u.”
