David Justice has broken his silence once again, publicly denying persistent rumours that he abused his ex-wife, Oscar-winner Halle Berry. The sportsman-turned-advocate has been fighting against these unfounded allegations for years, and this latest statement comes as attention resurfaces following recent headlines.

Despite never being named by Berry herself, Justice says the rumours have long tarnished his name. He has consistently pointed out that Berry spoke about a past abusive boyfriend who caused permanent hearing loss, but she never revealed the identity of the person responsible. Justice emphasises that he was never that individual.

Back in 2015, he even took to Twitter to express gratitude to Berry for “finally squashing all of the rumours that I had physically abused her”. At the time, he stressed that he never assaulted her and stressed how damaging the ongoing speculation had been, especially as he raised children and maintained a presence in his community. He recalled being heckled by fans and strangers, taunted with chants and jokes about the abuse allegations, which affected his career and personal life.

Now, the topic has flared up again through viral posts and commentary, one even suggesting Berry proposed after just five months of marriage and allowed abuse rumours to persist. Justice’s renewed response is a reminder of how quickly misleading narratives can revive, especially when the subject never made the claims in the first place.

While Berry has since moved on publicly, marrying twice more and focusing on her illustrious acting career, Justice remains caught in the crossfire of unverified speculation. He maintains that the rumours personally cost him endorsement opportunities and public goodwill.

This moment feels like more than a denial; it’s a plea for justice, for his reputation and for the quiet legacy he’s built as a coach, father, and mentor. The echoes of those old headlines still ripple today, proving how rumours can outlast the truth unless someone finally corrects them.
