Olivier is believed to have been horrified by the bitterness between the Extant actress and her ex, gossip website TMZ reports. Meanwhile, Halle recently submitted a second batch of court documents, filing for divorce from her husband of two years after speculation that her original documents, filed on Monday, may be invalid as she used aliases and gave her estranged husband the documents herself, something forbidden under Californian law.
Meanwhile, a source admits the actress is ”very sad” about the couple’s split. They said: ”She is sad, very sad. This is never easy. Olivier has definite anger management issues. I think this was coming for a long time and [Berry was] not wanting to have to do this.”
The pal also claims that the Dark Tide star, a former professional boxer, felt ”intimidated” because Halle ”was the breadwinner.” They added: ”He was emasculated by her beauty and her power, and his temper could erupt.”
