Halle Berry's ex David Justice slams her on Twitter

Hell hath no fury like an ex of Halle Berry.

Former baseball player David Justice, who was Berry's first husband, ranted on Twitter Tuesday morning about the actress.

In a now-deleted tweet, Justice also referred to Berry's exes Eric Benet and Gabriel Aubry in response to Berry's newly announced divorce from third husband Olivier Martinez: ""Yup..Me,Eric,Gabriel and Olivier were all her 'Knight in Shining Armor',until it ends..Then we all become the worst guys in history," he wrote. "Only the guys in the relationship with Halle know the real deal there will be another, of course. He'll be called 'The Best' until it ends."

Berry's second husband, Eric Benet, chimed in on Twitter as well: "My man at @23davidjustice is tweeting some truth dis' mornin'!" he wrote.

The tweet was amidst a longer series of posts in which Justice railed against the Oscar-winning actress. Justice complained that Berry had talked in the press about an unnamed ex who abused her, causing her to lose her hearing, and some people believed it was him.

In now-deleted tweets, Justice said, "Reading the latest Halle Berry Reports,it wasn't me who hit Halle causing the ear damage.Halle has never said that I hit her," Justice wrote in now-deleted tweets, he added: "It was a former Hollywood boyfriend (WS) that she told me ! #getyourfactsright When she first reported that she had been in abusive relationships,she wouldn't name the "famous" former boyfriend She was mad at me leaving the relationship so she and her Hollywood Team just tried to destroy my character. It had to be my fault,right?"

Later, after he took down the tweets, he said he wanted to thank Berry for clearing his name.

"I just want to thank Halle for finally squashing all of the rumors in the past,that I had physically abused her,causing the hearing loss," he wrote. Strangely, Berry and her team have not released any statements saying that Justice was not the partner who hit her.
