It has been widely reported that Halle Berry endured physical violence at the hands of an ex-boyfriend.
She has never publicly named the ex who abused her, however, which has caused many to speculate about who it could have been.
Because Halle filed a restraining order against ex-husband David Justice when they separated in 1996, he has often been the butt of many accusations.
Now, following Halle Berry’s recent announcement that she and Olivier Martinez have split after two years marriage , he has taken to Twitter in a bizarre rant against her.
And, at the same time, to deny that he ever laid hands on The X-Men actress.
“Me, (second husband) Eric (Benet), (boyfriend) Gabriel (Aubry) and Olivier were all her ‘Knight in Shining Armor’ until it ends,” the former Major-league Baseball star tweeted.
“Then we all become the worst guys in history.”
He added firmly: “Reading the latest Halle Berry Reports,it wasn't me who hit Halle causing the ear damage.
“Halle has never said that I hit her.”
Eric Benet, Halle’s second husband, gave David’s tirade his stamp of approval with this: “My man at @23davidjustice is tweeting some truth dis’ mornin’!”
David went on to issue a stark warning to Olivier Martinez, saying: "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."
He later backtracked and deleted many of the tweets, but told Entertainment Tonight that he posted them in a bid to set the record straight for the sake of his children.
“Having three kids (aged) 15, 13 and 11, the careless reporting of me being the one who caused her hearing loss is unacceptable,” he said.
“That was the only purpose of my tweets, really. I just felt that if I didn’t say anything about this particular thing, my kids’ friends might read it and assume that it was true. I’m in the community coaching baseball, football, and basketball, and I can’t have that.
“I don’t have anything else to say about Halle nor was I trying to bash her. Nor will I speak on all of the other rumors (sic) of our relationship.”
Halle has yet to speak out about the comments made by her exes.
It was announced at the end of last month that Halle and her husband Olivier Martinez were heading for a divorce.
A source told People magazine: "The relationship has run its course," a source told People last month. "They are keeping it amicable now. She is okay."
