Berry has actually spoken openly about being a “victim of domestic violence” and has actually been a long time volunteer with the domestic violence intervention program JenesseCenter At the 2015 unite4: humunity gala, she informed the crowd, “I wasn’t married to a man that beat me up, but my mother was.”
The 55- year-old starlet remembered that when she was 5 years of ages, she viewed her mom beaten “day after day after day,” getting “kicked down stairs” and struck in the head with a bottle.
“Knowing that she wanted nothing more than for her little girls to see her be empowered and be a woman of strength—but having no way to make that happen—was heartbreaking for me,” Berry stated. “She stayed for too long and her children, my sister and I, saw far too much and I’ve suffered the damage of being a child of domestic violence.”
Furthermore, Berry apparently informed People in 1996 that an ex-boyfriend pierced her eardrum while striking her.
Speaking with the NYT today, she recommended that her popularity has actually not safeguarded her from discomfort. “This hasn’t spared me one heartbreak or heartache or fearful or tearful moment, trust me,” she shared.
