Is Wesley Snipes responsible for Halle Berry beating?

[Nate6]

Oh my...this is going to stir up a whole pile of shit...

Wesley Snipes Named As Halle Berry Abuser
Actor Wesley Snipes has been exposed as the abusive ex-lover of Halle Berry, who struck the actress so hard, she lost most of the hearing in her right ear. R&B singer Christopher Williams - who dated Berry in the early 1990s - has made the startling accusation against the Blade star after getting upset with the number of people who assume it was him who dealt the screen beauty the damaging blow. He tells entertainment news website Eurweb, "The stuff they wrote about (me) and Halle was totally false. They said something like I busted her eardrum, and I'm tired of it. I never said it (before) but I'm so tired of people thinking I'm the guy (who did it). Wesley Snipes busted her eardrum, not me." Williams, who has a child with ex-girlfriend Stacey Dash, also takes a swipe at Berry - insisting the twice-married star may have personality problems which have contributed to her string of broken relationships, most recently from Eric Benet. He adds, "I have (men) come up to me like, 'How could you just leave Halle Berry' I'm like, how could you just leave the last relationship you was (in)? (Halle) is just a woman, but because her name is in lights, people are damned near ready to bare their souls. "hey would probably crucify Jesus again just to get with her. It's funny because the stars that get all of the good write-ups, you go and meet them and they are total a**holes."

Yep, I read this article earlier. If Wesley Snipes did hit her like that... then he's a sorry mofo. It's a shame that such a beautiful flower like Halle Berry has been used and abused. You gotta wonder though... she's had problems with EVERY man in her life. I said this before in another thread that maybe she should try women for a change. But then again...we'll hear about her getting bitch slapped by a leatherdyke. :rolleyes:

[ukcats]

I think Halle may be a little crazy. I can see her breaking down and crying at the drop of a hat. However, that gives Snipes no reason to beat her. I want to beat him now.

[electriclite]

I remember watching one of those biographies about her on MSNBC. They never said WHO was the one who hit her, but it was easy for me to figure out it was Snipes.



I don't think Halle is necessarily "unstable" or "crazy", she just has issues with men on the count of having her father leave her at a young age. We choose our future mates based on the relationships we have with our parents, and unfortunately Halle keeps looking for men who hurt her like her dad.

It's a shame for ANYONE to be used and abused.

and electriclite is right.

[Buck Turgidson]

I've seen Williams, David Justice and Snipes all pointed at as the perpetrator, so I'm glad this is finally cleared up. I like Wesley as an actor, but he's obviously got some issues.

[SkyNet]

maybe the next time she is told to do the dishes she will listen!

Nah im kidding.. i dont condone beating woman at all... and i actually never knew Berry and Snipes dated.... and from reading this article and knowing that Snipes is a trained Martial Artist... it makes sense that he is the one who hit her so hard she damaged his ear drum

Yeesh, looks like we're screwed then!

:p

As for Wesley Snipes, what a total prick. He is 100x the size of Halle Berry, so what a lowlife he is to push her around like that. Pick on someone your own size, chump.

Why didn't she ever haul his sorry ass to court?

[Cheetara]

Good point! Yes! Why didn't she have him arrested and pressed charges against him for battery??? I'm surprised she didn't hold a press conference and put on her "oscar" tears. Exposing him for what he is a sorry mofo.

damn thats harsh cheetara...u must be from Jersey! :p

[BakeTheMooCow]

I see an ad on TV sometimes, for which Halle Berry does the voiceover, advising women to not stand for any abuse from men. That has to be the dumbest PSA ever. Why do women stay in relationships in which their partners are physically or verbally abusive?

It is hard, on the other hand, to get away from a person who's good at even one of the above. That takes a lot of energy which you undoubtedly lack when living with an abusive person.

[Saruman]

I wonder if he kicked her ass Blade style?:D

[Cheetara]

@J-Luv :p you know it!

@Saruman: LOL that's soooo wrong....but I couldn't help but laugh.:D

That's no excuse. I feel no pity for people who are hurt after putting themselves in a position where they can be hurt. It's different if someone is too young to escape and doesn't know the full extent of what's happening to them. But a grown woman who clings to a man who beats her (see also: Whitney Houston), deserves what she gets. Halle Berry was married to David Justice for 4 years and he abused her too. Doesn't she learn from past experiences? Are we still supposed to feel sorry for her after her next husband does the same thing? Jesus. What a pathetic culture of victimhood we live in.

I don't think it's right to say people "deserve what they get" when they are horribly treated by another person. You have to look at the deeper issue as to why these women are so insecure and helpless that they stay with these terrible men who beat the crap out of them. Sure, the logical thing to say is "leave!" but it's very easy to say sitting on the outside of the situation. Another example are people who have severe eating disorders. Sure it's easy to suggest they just "eat" but obviously they have deep psychological problems that are making them screw up their lives. Ditto on the whole battered wife syndrome. I think it's very sad that people stay in abusive relationships, I know I never would, but I also have a healthy self value. It's a shame these women don't.

[BakeTheMooCow]

Saying they have deep psychological problems is just another excuse. Nobody is willing to take responsibility for themselves and their actions, but rather blame their parents or uncles or other relatives from their past. It's this whole Oprah/Dr. Phil kind of mentality people have gotten themselves stuck in, where nothing is simple anymore and people are over-diagnosed. Everything has complex layers that need to be peeled to get to the "core" issue. I find it incredibly lame. Face the problem head-on and get over it. If a man is abusive, the woman should leave immediately or deal with what's coming to her. Simple as that.

[betje]

Mostly those women can't see a positive outcome in leaving (or just attempting that). It's a situation that sneaks up on them and one day they realize they're in such deep shit they can't see a way out without losing everything they have and even fear for their lives. They don't just 'put' themselves in that position.

They're mostly not as rich as Whitney Houston and Halle Berry and have mostly been tricked into giving access to their bank accounts (too scared of getting hurt physically), they get isolated from friends and family...

As for WH and HB, I haven't lived their lives, nor have I lived their abusive husbands/boyfriends lives so I don't know why they make the choices they make. But not even willing to try and understand someone's actions never helped a living soul, it just puts a lid on things.

They CAN blame their parents and uncles and such. They're probably right. The world's crowded with lousy parents. But if you can see what those parents' actions did to you, you can try and change yourself for the better. That is taking responsibility.

[Scarface98.9]

Women (and sometimes men) sometimes stay in abusive relationships due to the fear of dying alone, or numerous other reasons. It often goes through a phase where a little anger by the aggressor is built up, it's released, but then there's a "Honeymoon" phase, where everything's fine again, kissing and making up, etc. Then it starts again. It's all about control and manipulation, and it's easier than one thinks to make someone else feel like shit, and being dependent on the other. That's partly how abusive relationships thrive

I agree to a certain extent...but to be fair, these abused women don't stick around for the good of their health.

It's quite easy to say "get over it", but the battered wives of this world obviously have deep-rooted issues...these silly fucker's usually fucking IDOLISE the folks that hurt them the most, and frankly...I can almost sympathise with their plight.

In essence, they're terrified of trading in the sense of 'security' (and I use the term loosely) that they are accustomed to...purely because they underestimate their own worth.

They DO need to wake the FUCK up...and realise that in discarding these misguided wank-tank's, they are welcoming freedom and self-respect.

Halle is well rid.

If I were dating Halle Berry I would let HER abuse me.
Abuse me good.

Sometimes it's hard for women to get OUT of those relationships. My mother tried as hard as she could to get away from my ex-stepfather. He threatened her at gun point and beat her. And when she'd try to call the cops he would hide the phone away from her and beat her again.

It's not always a case of the woman not wanting to leave, it's being UNABLE to leave or UNABLE to take care of the situation as well.

And just so everyone knows, my mother eventually was able to call the cops. They divorced and she moved far away from him and is living a better life now than she was then. :)

[Cheetara]

@Mr. Fred Krueger:
I am very happy to hear that your mother was able to get away from that guy. No one deserves to be treated that way. Some how ...some way...she managed to move away and start a new life.

However, in Whitney Houston's case and Halle Berry's case... they have money to pay thugs to beat up their abusive loved ones. As a woman, I have experienced ex boyfriend in the past (1994) that punched me. His first and his last time hitting me. I retaliated by defending myself. Bayonet knives are my speciality. Let's just say ...I didn't go to boot camp for nothing. He had abused other women in his life and he "thought" he could do the same to me. Wrong! I ended the relationship immediately and moved on. (circa 1994)

I ran into the SAME boyfriend about 7 months after I dumped him ..he begged me to take him back. Not! He said to me and his exact words were "I love you...I miss you because you were the only one who didn't take any shit from me. You're fiesty...I like that!"

:eek: :rolleyes:

Ladies and gents... it is better to leave the person...go on with your life and be happy. I refuse to let some sorry mofo rain on my parade. LOL

Domestic violence is a situation that can be tricky to leave.

Even the most successful people can be put in those situations.


Hell, after someone leaves a relationship there is always the threat of fatal violence and stalking.

A woman who clings to a man who beats her deserves it?! What are you smoking? MAYBE that woman is afraid of being killed (it's happened). A woman-beater is probably not the most rational person in that situation. MAYBE she thinks it'll stop. Maybe she loves the asshole and thinks "with a little help, he'll change". Maybe she doesn't know how to get away. Maybe she doesn't know she can.

With Halle, she needs to realize her relationship patterns and take steps to break that pattern.


But really Spanky, don't generalize about domestic violence victims. Not every situation is the same.
