Halle Berry has different ideas about how she’d like to be portrayed in the press.
In a recent interview, the 59-year-old actress explained that she decided to take an extended break from giving interviews at a point in her career.
She broke down the reasons why and also listed a few headlines that she thinks should actually be printed about her.
“After my third divorce, people started to say, ‘What’s wrong with her? She’s crazy. She can’t keep a man,’ ” she said. “And I would always argue, ‘Who says I want to keep a man if he’s not the right man?’ ”
Saying that she got sick of seeing headlines like “Poor Halle — Unlucky in Love Again,” Halle said, “I pretty much stopped doing interviews for a decade because I got tired of the same old story.”
The Oscar winner has some ideas about the stories she’d rather see about herself: “Hmm. ‘Halle Berry Is Not a Damsel in Distress,’ ” she proposed, continuing, “‘Halle Berry Is Not a Victim of Failed Relationships.’ ”
Her third headline: “Halle Berry Never Said It’s Anyone Else’s Fault.”
