Halle Berry is under attack from her ex-husband. No, not that one. Or that one. Or that one …
A week after “Extant” star Berry and her current husband, actor Olivier Martinez, filed for divorce following two years of marriage, the actress’ first husband, former baseball pro David Justice, has shredded Berry by saying she’s left a string of tarnished reputations in her romantic life.
“Yup … Me, [second husband] Eric [Benet], [former boyfriend] Gabriel [Aubry] and Olivier were all her ‘Knight in Shining Armor,’ until it ends … Then we all become the worst guys in history,” Justice wrote on Twitter Tuesday.
Justice went on to warn Martinez that he’s in for a trashing.
“Just wait, Olivier … It’s coming! She insinuated that her daughter wasn’t safe around Gabriel … look it up and see the reason! Just wrong,” Justice added.
While Justice has since deleted some of the tweets, he reiterated the sentiments in an interview with the Daily Mail Online, dismissing accusations that he’d abused her.
“I had to say something after reading about Halle’s recent marriage,” Justice, who was married to Berry from 1993 to 1997, said.
“So many years ago, I didn’t say anything about the accusations that I abused her, but now I have three children, ages, 15, 13 and 11, two boys and one girl, and they can read this stuff and they have friends who will read it as well so I had to finally come out and say once and for all I never hit Halle Berry,” Justice added, noting that Berry “never said I hit her but she never said I didn’t either, which was disappointing.”
Justice also asserted that he hadn’t abused Berry on his Twitter account, writing, “It just makes me mad to still see the same lie being perpetuated about the source of her abuse being me. Never happened!”
The former MLB star wasn’t the only ex dissing Berry, as second husband Eric Benet jumped into voice his agreement.

Berry and Martinez, who have a son, Maceo, together, announced their split last week in a joint statement.
“It is with a heavy heart that we have come to the decision to divorce,” the pair said. “We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus of what is best for our son.
“We wish each other nothing but happiness in life and we hope that you respect our and, most importantly, our children’s privacy as we go through this difficult period,” they concluded.
Halle Berry‘s rep did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.

I just want to thank Halle for finally squashing all of the rumors in the past,that I had physically abused her,causing the hearing loss.

My intention was not to bash Halle,as I specifically said that Halle has NEVER verbally said it.I just wished that when the rumors were out
