Breaking up is hard to do, especially when it keeps happening in the public eye. Recently, when Halle Berry was shaded by a fan on Instagram, she had the perfect response.
A heated exchange
It all started when Berry posted an empowering message geared toward women.
A rude follower responded: "Says the women who can't keep a man."
But Berry didn’t let that rude person get her down and replied, "Who says I wanna keep the wrong man? Cuz.... I don't."
Great point!
Amazing Clapback
Of course, the commenting didn’t stop there, and another follower wrote "Geesh Halle, had some trouble with men in your life??"
Berry responded to that, "Nope, they had trouble with me."
"No man has ever taken care of me... EVER!"
- Halle Berry
There’s no doubt that Berry has had some heartache in the public eye, from multiple divorces to a split with a partner just after they had a child. But her life is her business, no matter how famous she is – and that is an important message to us all.
Have faith in yourself
Relationships end, and they may end in a hard, sad, way – but that’s not a reflection on you or what you deserve, ever.
Toxic relationships and bad breakups happen very often, to many of us. It’s how you have faith in yourself and the promise of the future that you get past them.
While it's sometimes true that it's important to look at any unconscious patterns we may have if we keep ending up in one toxic relationship after the other, it's no reason to victim-blame -- ever. It's simply part of the healing journey, and every human being is worthy of healthy love.
