I don't know how messed up the men she has children are, but having a second parent gives the babies a chance at having someone less crazy than Halle completely controlling their lives. I wonder when Nalah is older if she'll choose to stay with her dad, or send herself to boarding school. I'm afraid Halle is raising a daughter who will deal with her romantic relationships in the exact same way she does, unfortunately.

Honestly, I think she did in that Hollywood kinda way. Hey look, a hotter than hell model, we would make beautiful children. She wouldn't have found someone that remotely 'looked' like Gabriel in a sperm bank. Something tells me her criteria was just that shallow. Who knows, though. Maybe it was love. I think with Gabriel it was love and Nahla was a bonus. Option #3 to single motherhood may have been to get pregnant via a one-night stand. If Daddy is a deadbeat, then she wouldn't have to worry about his involvement in the child's life. *shrug* I don't know how messed up the men she has children are, but having a second parent gives the babies a chance at having someone less crazy than Halle completely controlling their lives. I wonder when Nalah is older if she'll choose to stay with her dad, or send herself to boarding school. Could you imagine how Halle would feel if Nahla were to choose to live with her dad? Would she feel betrayed? I remember being happy when Halle had Nahla because I remember how close she got to India (her step-daughter with Eric Benet). Presumably it was heartbreaking when Halle and Eric Benet split up because Halle didn't have legal rights of visitation as she hadn't adopted India. Yet, this situation right here? Wow. It makes one wonder why her marriages (and long-term partnerships) went down in flames. By the way, I heard Halle is estranged from her sister. I wonder why.

Also from her mother, I thought. I tend (perhaps unfairly, perhaps not) to believe that Halle is of the "hang up on anyone who tells you things you don't want to hear" school.

It wasn't that she didn't have rights. She stopped pursuing the adoption. Both Eric & India have come out and said it was Halle who stopped coming around.

Well I think the men Halle's picked have been douchebags though, so it's a good thing those things went down in flames. I think she jumps in with both feet.
Many moons ago I believe I saw a picture of Halle's sister and as I remember it, Halle ended up on the good side of that gene pool if you get my meaning.

But Halle does choose these guys. I don't think after another relationship goes down in flames she stops dating, gets in to therapy and tries to figure out what she could do differently. And I don't think she ever will. She is as much of the problem as the douches she dates. And, yeah, she is a terrible role model for Nahla or anyone, really.

Personally I think she's a bit shallow, and likes good looking men. What I find interesting is the contempt here for Halle. It seems that we sympathize with all types of women, even, to an extent Kim Kartrashian, but not so much Halle. And it's like we immediately believe what the men are saying. Now, maybe something's wrong with me, but I always believe as long as most men's lips are moving, they're lying for that reason I can't believe anything Gabriel says about her. Halle may be crazy, but he picked her.

Halle may be crazy, but he picked her. I gave Gabriel serious side-eye when the judge admonished him for using foul, racially insensitive language when referring to Halle. So, he's not getting off scot-free. That said, he did pick her but she also picked him (as Judge Judy would say).

When I said she picked him, I also meant he (or they, or each man) picked her. I don't know anything about the past dating history of the men she dates, but she doesn't seem to learn a damn thing from any of her relationships.
