Actress Berry opens up about domestic abuse childhood
Halle Berry has spoken out about seeing her mother suffer domestic abuse at the hands of her father.
The 43-year-old actress has been a low-key volunteer on the night shift at the Jenesse centre in Los Angeles for years, but has spoken out for the first time about how she can relate to the victims she works with.
“I saw my mother battered, and could not do anything to stop it – my father was tyrannical, lashing out at her for no reason,” Halle told The Sunday Times.
“I felt the effects that had on our family – I’ve experienced what these women have gone through.”
