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. For me it's two things. The first is the taint from having been involved in two separate hit-and-run incidents. Two. The second is loosely connected to Raylan Givens awesome quote "you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole; you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole." At some point when everyone she's dated over the years has been an abusive asshole, it seems likely that either she's the abusive asshole, or she's ALSO an abusive asshole. If you operate under the assumption that all men are lying assholes, then sure, she's not part of the problem. I don't, so as far as I'm concerned she's the common denominator.

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. As someone else pointed out, we were pretty universal in calling out Gabriel's reported use of disparaging slurs. But throughout the history of this relationship it has been Halle filing motion after motion that always seem to have the goal of drastically reducing the father's participation in Nahla's life. He wasn't the one that wanted to move to France. He's not the one moving for reduced child support payments months after her television show was renewed. In many child support situations the receiving parent is quick to apply for increased support when the paying parent gets a raise or promotion or some similar improvement to their finances. Maybe he was planning on it, but I wouldn't blame him if he had because that's what child support is about. But to request a reduction in the amount you are paying is a whole different matter. And Greecie's have been pretty universal in their condemnation of fathers who appear to be weasling on child support. Finally, again as someone else pointed out, Halle seems to be a bit of a drama magnet. It tests the bounds of logic to believe that someone is just that unlucky in choosing romantic partners. At some point one wonders if she either seeks it out or if they have a martyr complex or what. And again, we've been pretty quick to point out that there are some men who probably need to admit that they just may not be cut out for marriage. Sean Bean comes immediately to mind. I think there was some skepticism about Billy Joel's recent nuptials as well.

For me I never really paid attention to her past relationships. What screamed vindictive ex was when he was filing for joing legal custody she all of a sudden claimed he was an abusive man that needed no contact with Nahla. Then a month later claiming it was a misunderstanding and then he went on a date with Kim Kardashian and omg! He is so abusive, keep him away from Nahla. Which if true why did it take for him to file something to bring it up? Then of course the whole France bullshit which just sold me that her goal is to get Gabriel out of Nahla's life. No bueno.

Well if he dated Kim Kardashian.... If we're going to talk about that, then maybe Mariah shouldn't have married Nick Cannon either.

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. That might not be gene pool. Halle's had two nose jobs. She was cute after the first one (it's in "Boomerang") and IMHO absolutely stunning after the second.

Someone hold me. And bring pina coladas. It's okay. We've all done it. She may be a void of personality and intelligence, but a movie after Thanksgiving dinner does not constitute a relationship. Halle was wrong to go nuclear over this.

They had similar features but Halle's looked like they were in the right place if that makes any sense.

It's not so much contempt on my part in regards to Halle. It is watching her live out the definition of insanity; constantly doing the same dumb things over and over and expecting a different result.
I just want her to do better for herself and her children.
