Halle Berry has just made a savage public dig at her ex-husband after he revealed the 'annoying' reason why they split.
For those not in the loop, the likes of David Justice, who was married to the Die Another Day star from 1993 to 1997, opened up about why their marriage didn't work out in a new appearance on the All The Smoke podcast last week.
Speaking of Berry, he brutally recalled: "She asked me to marry her after knowing me for five months. I don’t know if my heart was really into it.
"But I didn’t want to make her feel bad and say no. I was just in the moment, it caught me off guard. We’re getting along, we’re vibing, again, we’re only five months in, we’re still in the honeymoon stage."

Justice then revealed that he used to compare Berry to his, wait for it, own mother and realised she didn't 'cook and clean' like his mum did.
Ah yes, because your life partner is meant to be a direct substitution for your parent as a fully-grown adult.
"I’m looking at my mom, I’m a Midwest guy. So in my mind, I’m thinking a wife at that time should cook, clean, and I’m thinking OK, if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with?" he continued.
"And at that time, as a young guy, she don’t cook, don’t clean, don’t really seem like motherly. Eventually, I realise this isn’t the person I wanted to spend my life with."
Taking no time to respond, Berry has since taken to Instagram to share with her 9.1 million followers a series of snaps of her, quite frankly, living her best life.
The Academy Award-winning actress, who is now in a loved-up relationship with siner-songwriter Van Hunt, captioned the photo dump: "Phew…! cooking, cleaning and mothering."
After drawing parallels between Berry's caption and Justice's podcast remarks, fans rushed to social media to share their reactions.
One fan gushed: "Bahahhaaaaa Caption Queen. Love you!"
"Bravo!!" praised a second. "Nobody puts Berry in a corner."
A third chimed in: "Fine as ever, BODIED, and pH balanced !!!!! Yessss Queen. He should just sat quiet and ate his food."
"Great clap back!" hyped a fourth while another beamed: "Hahaha!!! I know THAT’S right!!"
And a final Instagram echoed: "My girl is happy and glowing, and ain’t worried bout nun!"
Hunt proposed to Berry earlier this summer, but The Flintstones star has yet to accept.
Talking to Today.com, Hunt revealed: "I put out the proposal, and it’s still on hold as you can see. It’s just out there floating. You know, maybe you can encourage her."
While Berry explained that she and Hunt 'don't feel like we have to get married to validate our love,' she does believe that they will tie the knot 'soon'.
"I think we will get married just because, out of the people I’ve been married to, this is the person I should have married," she said. "And I feel like I should, we should get married, but it’s not because we feel like we have to.
"I think it’s something that we would like to do just because we want that expression."
