If Halle Berry has learned anything in her nearly six decades, it’s how to take criticism in stride.

The Oscar-winning actress, whose ex-husband David Justice opened up about their 90s divorce in a recent interview, seemingly responded to her former spouse’s remarks in a cheeky Instagram post on Aug. 14, which coincided with her 59th birthday.

Berry shared a series of photos from her birthday celebration, which included festive snaps of the actress lounging seaside in a bikini, spending time with boyfriend Van Hunt and enjoying a slice of chocolate cake.

“Phew…! cooking, cleaning and mothering,” Berry captioned the post.

Berry’s social media comment appeared to be a callout addressing Justice’s remarks from his “All the Smoke” podcast appearance, during which he reflected on the couple’s high-profile relationship (Berry and Justice were married from 1993 to 1997.)

“She asked me to marry her after knowing me for five months,” Justice said on the Aug. 7 episode. “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.”

Justice added that he didn’t face “a lot of negative attention” until he separated from Berry in 1996. Explaining the reasoning for their split, the former Atlanta Braves outfielder said the state of Berry’s domestic life was a red flag for him.

“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,” Justice said. “And I’m thinking, ‘OK, if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with?’ And at that time, as a young guy, she don’t cook, don’t clean, don’t really seem, like, motherly.”

But looking back, Justice said he could have handled his divorce with Berry differently. “I didn’t ease out” of the relationship, the baseball veteran reflected, adding that “my knowledge and my understanding and my wisdom around relationships just wasn’t vast.”

“That girl really did love me, and I can see why she would be so mad at me,” Justice said. “Because imagine if you really love somebody, and they tell you they want to break up, and there’s nothing you can say to get them back. That had to have been tough on her.”

Berry is in a long-term relationship with Hunt, a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter. Her marriage to Justice was in the 90s. She then married Eric Benét (2001 to 2005) and Olivier Martinez (2013 to 2016). She has two children: Nahla, 17, whose dad is ex-partner Gabriel Aubry, and son Maceo, 11, whom she had with Martinez.
