Halle Berry Liked Abusive Men
MOVIE beauty Halle Berry has revealed how she used to be attracted to abusive men.
The Oscar-winning actress — who has a daughter, Nahla, with model Gabriel Aubry — says she regularly witnessed her father attack her mother when she was growing up and says it affected her choice in partners.
“My mother was a battered woman and that was my childhood for a good chunk of it,” Berry said.
“Early on in my life, I made choices, and I chose men that were abusive because that was what I knew growing up.”
However, she underwent therapy and learned what to do if and when a relationship became violent.
The 43-year-old actress has now found happiness with Aubry and is using her experiences to help others who have suffered domestic abuse and works closely with the Jenesse Center, a Los Angeles-based shelter which provides support for victims.
Halle – who was honored by the center four years ago for her humanitarian work — said, “I care, I really care about these women and children.”
