Halle Berry's Ex Challenges Prenup

UPDATED: 10:34 AM PDT June 4, 2004

Now that his three-year marriage to Halle Berry is over, Eric Benet has filed court documents challenging the couple's prenuptial agreement, asking Berry to pay spousal support and his legal bills, reports thesmokinggun.com.

In the document filed June 1 in Los Angeles Superior Court, Benet requested the court "determine the validity and/or enforceability of the parties' prenuptial agreement and subsequent amendments thereto."

Berry filed for divorce in April, citing "irreconcilable differences."

The Oscar-winner had been married to R&B singer Benet for three years but the couple had actually separated in October. Tabloids had speculated about Benet's faithfulness from nearly the moment the two were married in January of 2001.

*****

Come on Eric, haven't you put this woman through enough? "I fucked around from day one - pay my bills please!"

Class act, that Eric Benet. The only good thing about all this is that he will never ever have a career that comes close to Halle's (hell, it ain't even as good as Mindy "Natlie from 'The Facts of Life'" Cohn's career) and that must give her some comfort when she goes to sleep!

I think he had one song that I sort of appreciated but I can't even remember what it was - that tells you how good it was

Interesting when she mentioned on Oprah that the roles she plays always seem to coincide w/ her life & help her in some way - this was going down while she was doing Catwoman & she said playing such a powerful character helped her to stay strong & handle her business. I feel bad for Halle, it's sad when anybody's marriage fails. But to be humiliated by your husband so publicly is just Why he gotta be fine?

What a Creep!

i think he is a handsome guy and i don't blame him for cheating because halle berry has a lot of emotional baggage and is violent. also she has sagging titties and stuff and is deaf in one ear. if i was him i would have cheated too he is a good looking guy and can get plenty of beautiful white women in hollywood even if he is not as famous as halle berry.

In all fairness, failed relationships aren't new to Halle. There's one common denominator in all of her problems with men. She seems to have unresolved issues of her own to say the least. Of course that doesn't excuse Eric Benet's behavior. Even though it's hard not to root for him when women do what he's doing all of the time I'd tell him to be a man, get a job and pay your own bills.

Of course we're ones to talk. I have issues of my own, as we all do.

Boy, this dude really is a scumwad.

He shouldn't get shit for screwing around on her.

Get a job.

no he is not a badman because she has mental problems that is why wesley snipes bashed her head in and she lost 80% of her hearing in one ear.

So your sole purpose for being here is to instigate right?

Is that you, Eric?

How is she NOT the victim in THIS instance?? This dude cheated on her w/ everything on 2 legs & she STILL tried to work it out - what the fuck else could she do but divorce his ass?? NOW he wants to worry about living comfortably after signing a prenup??? FUCK HIM!

whodknee said:

Well, most of the time women do what he's doing after they've been cheated on by their husbands - it's usually the payee that brings the marriage down. In this case he did both - destroyed the marriage & is looking for a check - PLEEZE

eric bennet is a sorry excuse

4 a man

he has no back bone

he has no character

and he should never have

had beautiful and talented

ms halle berry

as his wife

4 those of u who say halle

deserved foul treatment and abuse

from him or any other man,

u support the cowardly actions

of men who take out their

inadequacies on women who are

usually physically weaker

than them

however, women are strong in

the long run and u should never

under estimate the power

of a woman

eric deserves what he brought

2 the marriage: nothing

You people act as if you lived with the couple and know the whole story...For all we know Halle could be a complete BITCH....Who knows?

PAPAROBBIE said:

Well, if you look at Halle's track record, I would say the bitch is crazy ass fuck. I think she is a complete drama queen. David Justice would say he couldn't tell when she was acting or for real.

I think Halle and (Jlo) look for love when they need therapy. Halle really has some shit with her.

Eric Benet actually does have some pretty good music but this could have just been a career boost for him. He played her from the beginning BUT that doesn't mean Halle doesn't have some responsiblity in this. She didn't take it slow and jumped into another marriage.


personally I think she's

I know a couple of things that I'll not speak on.


"I think Halle and (Jlo) look for love when they need therapy. Halle really has some shit with her."

Truest statement posted. There are two sides to EVERY story. Notice nobody seems to ever try to get the other side when it comes to Halle? Playing the victim has its benefits. I'm not excusing Eric's behavior; just making a point.

BlaqueKnight said:

How is she playing the victim. There is not statement by her on this story! It was something Access Hollywood reported on. I think some people are just angry becuase Halle is fine. Granted, she has issues but she ended up marrying a man that was even worse than her (is this...justice...). I hope Halle gets all her shit together and makes some good movies again ("Catwoman" looks terrible even if she looks amazing).

BlaqueKnight said:

They say there's one born every minute....

Halle chooses the wrong men, in my opinion, like most women. Halle has admitted to having issues with men and felt that her lack of a relationship with her father had to do with it and she confronted him about it and he had nothing to say. Whatever issues Halle has, it doesn't warrant having a husband who can't keep his dick in his pants. He cheated on their wedding day for goodness sakes

It takes two to make or break a relationship, but this fucker (Eric) is crazy to think he deserves to have his legal fees paid and more money when he definitely broke at least one of the vows he made to his wife, come on!

Janfriend said:

That's my point exactly. I'm not saying Halle doesn't have issues - hell I've heard stories about her when she was married to David Justice & drove him away acting a fool, I know she's no angel here. But for him to try to change the prenup after he's jizzed all over any ounce of trust or sense of fidelity is fucking laughable

Look at my picture and remember the happier times. Halle gave Eric more name exposure than he could have ever achieved on his own merits ( he would have been thrown into the same space of male R&B singers like Donnell Jones, Joe, Avant, Montell Jordan and Carl Thomas who aren't considered as talented as D'Angelo and Maxwell ). Even if he has a legitamate case, the "BLABOID" mags are going to rip him a clean one because he is a man and is percieved as the evil one.

I love how you picked that one part of my quote and basically restated the rest of my quote to pick at it. My point was that he's asking for money he's not entitled to. Unless an act is committed that prevents one from working or property is lost because of such an act, an adult is not entitled to another adult's money. PERIOD.

Benet is an embarrassment to all men as is Halle to women-- from what we know of them. As I stated earlier I don't defend guys like that, but he's getting a bad wrap like Bobby Brown. Yeah they're fucked up, but so are their more famous spouses. We attract and pair up with people like us so it goes both ways. It's time to stop defending Halle, Whitney, etc. and jumping on that "all men are dogs" bandwagon. Halle needs to take responsibility for her inability to find/keep a good man and, more importantly, heal whatever wounds have caused her behavior.
As somebody previously stated, Halle is playing the victim role to save face.

whodknee said:

AMEN


THERAPY!!!!!

Rhondab said:

yeah...okay, so halle needs therapy...

but does that mean eric deserves spousal support and dissolvement of their prenup?

Dude hasn't put an album out in like 4 years. Guess he's been livin' off Halle. I'm actually somewhat of a fan of his music. "Spiritual Thang" was the jam. Hope this forces his ass back into the studio.

CalhounSq said:

I'm sorry, but this n!@@a needs to put out an album that'll sell and pay his own muthafuckin' bills!
