“Child Support Is Extortion” – Halle Berry SLAMS Ex In $16,000-A-Month Child Support Battle
One of the stories I want to talk about is Halle Berry’s upset, folks. I don’t I haven’t heard anything about this. Okay. So, Halle Berry is upset because she believes Okay. And Rob, I don’t know if you have the story or not. She believes child support, if you want to zoom in, Rob, child support is extortion. Wow. After having to pay her ex $8,000 a month to Rexhusband. Weird. Go to the next story, Rob. Okay. She believes it’s extortion. And this is a vanity. Can you actually go to the story, Rob? Actually go to the story because there’s so many angles to take. We got one, boys. Well, it’s not even that. There there is so many layers to this, Rob. So, this is this is an older story, but Halleberry compares paying child support to her ex Gabriel uh uh Aubrey to extortion. And if you go to that, Rob, I think another story came out from Hello Magazine about a month ago that says inside Halib’s custody battle. I’ll send you the story here from Hello Magazine that it’s no longer $8,000 a month. Apparently now it’s $16,000 a month, but but I’ll send this to you, Rob. Uh oh, right there you have it. Okay. Is uh Let me see if that’s the one. Yeah. Okay. Zoom in a little bit. So check this out. Oscar winner known around the world, Catwoman. But at home, she’s mom to two children. Uh Nala and son Maso, the actress who turned 59ers August 14th. Welcome daughter Nala with the ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubrey, 11 years old. Uh go a little bit lower, Rob, to the $16,000. Can you find if where it’s the $16,000? Uh what’s the date on this article, Rob, that you have? Uh this was I think one was this one the other one was 2021. Yeah, but August 15th of 2025. August or go all the way to the bottom. In 2014, Hi was ordered to pay a judge by a judge to pay $16,000 a month to child support. Figure she has since slammed as extortion and managed to slash to a lesser $8,000 a month plus a percentage from her annual earnings. Wow. But what is amazing about the story is this is what men go through. Okay. Now, Rob, does she take care of the kids? Does she have custody of the kids full-time? I’m not sure. Can you check that there? Because there there’s a there’s a lesson here. Does Halib Berry have custody over her kids? 100% custody over her kids. I’m curious to know what the story is here because to pay $16,000 Tom uh goes to current to two joint and physical custody. Barry petitions as to who to control this education therapy and tiebrein. Her older daughter now is co-parented with her ex Gabriel Aubrey under a joint custody. So she’s paying him 16 now. She’s paying six $8,000. Can you go to Gabriel Aubrey? Let’s see who he is. Do do you guys know who he is? Adam, do you know Gabriel? Super good looking guy that was be able to hold down uh Halib Berry. But is he like an actor? Is he Is he I believe so. We can find that Canadian model. Yeah. Aubrey is one of nine siblings. So, he’s modeled for a bunch of different things. And did they get married or just partner? Well, I believe they would get married if that’s what if he’s paying uh personal life. Aubrey. Yeah. Well, what do you Adam, I’m going to come to you with this one cuz I figured there’s something you want to say about this one here. Well, let me just say Gabriel Audrey Aubrey, respect to you. If you go after the literal hottest woman in the world that everybody’s going after, every dude’s looking for Halib Berry. Even Shaq tells a story about like he Ali Berry came to the game, he couldn’t even play. And you get her, you get her to marry you, have kids with her, and you flip it, and now she’s paying you alimony and spousal support. Tip of the cap to you, bro. Ma, major respect. But the reality is what what she’s experiencing is what 98% of men experience because 98% of men are the ones that pay alimony. I believe it’s 80% of women file for divorce and I think that number even goes higher as they have a college degree. And then I think spousal support, I’m sorry, child support, I think uh men end up paying 90% of the time, 85, 90% of the time. There it is right there. Only 3% of alimony recipients were men. Meaning, well, she added to that statistic. Good for her. So the the the most likely way for women to become billionaires, as an example, is divorcing a billionaire. They don’t build companies. They build babies. They build families. Respect. I love you ladies and all like that. But the reality is only very successful, rich women like Halib Berry, like Oprah. Uh are the ones that have to deal with something like this. Who was the famous? Was it uh was it JLo? Uh was Oprah? I mean, there’s only a handful of women this um that basically had to pay alimony and they’re like, “Why am I paying all this money?” And like the famous quote was the guy being like, “Welcome to our world, baby.” And uh that’s the sad reality of this is that women and here’s here’s the challenge that women are actually going to face now that women are starting to earn more and the uh pay gap is sort of being equalized. You’re going to see a lot more of this is probably going to happen but not to this extent. I’m going to wrap up with why was this something that you wanted to discuss? I think it’s a good story to say that here’s what men go through that this is what men typically do and it’s happening to women to know what it feels like. yesterday. You know, I’m sitting there with Tikico and we’re going through stats and Tikico starts giving me these stats. I’m like, “Oh, Tiko is so funny.” Like, at any point you’re going to get any kind of stats from that guy. But you know what the stat was? What? That we went through? Here’s a stat. Okay, I’m I’m I’m going to read this off to you and I want you to think about it. When feminists say they don’t need men, you ready for this? When feminists say they don’t need men, 96% of construction workers are men. 95% of electricians are men. 95% of plumbers are men. 98% of carpenters are men. 94% of HVAC technicians are men. 97% of mechanics are men. 96% of welders are men. 91% of truck drivers are men. And we know what the other 90% 97% of roofers are men. 95% of oil rig workers are men. 90% of machine operators are men. 85% of network engineers are men. 91% of mechanical engineers are men. 86% of civil engineers are men. 96% of firefighters are men. 85% of police officers are men. 80% of military personnel are men. 90% of pilots are men. 94% of train operators are men. 92% of forklift operators are men. Wow. These are some of the riskiest jobs in the world. What about What about a foreman, Pat? These are some of the risk. Well, there’s a 3% and if that four men that you meet there’s always a 3% which by the way this leads me to James Brown was right when he said this is a man’s world but it would be nothing without a woman or a girl and and there is some truth behind it. The challenge that women have to understand is there’s a big difference between in your life and in society. Yeah, I don’t need no man in my life. Okay, great. Great. But without men in society, society crumbles. Like look no further than what’s going on in Ukraine. Sorry to call out my beautiful Ukrainian babies that are living in Miami now. Men in Ukraine are dying on the front lines where women from Ukraine are now living in New York and Miami and living in only fans type of existence. That’s the difference. This is this is it. And you know what’s the most simplest thing men want? They want respect and appreciation. That’s what they want. Ladies, fellas, you got to earn it though. You can’t just wake up and say, “Why can’t you just respect me?” We got to earn it. That’s our job to earn it. But ladies, if you got a guy that’s doing his part and he’s working his ass off, providing, giving an incredible life, give the man some respect and give him some appreciation because if you don’t, God forbid, there’s going to be some consequences and some furniture moving around depending on what places you are. Oh, yes. But he’s This is the only thing I wear every single flipping day. So, my back feels better. I’m comfortable. My knees feel better. The Super Hoka trained authentic leather made in Tuscany, Italy. same exact factories that you were there. We were seeing the Gucci, the Louis shoes being made. Absolutely incredible. The level of comfort that it has. Um, but I got an update for you with sizes. I got an update for you. The following sizes on uh black and brown are officially gone. So, brown size 8, 10 and 1/2, 11 and 1/2, 12 and 13 sold out. Jeez. Black 8 10 and 1/2 11 and 1/2 and 13 sold out. Navy blue 8 and 13 sold out. Everything you do on those sizes will be pre-ordered. Do so because we have a long list of pre-orders for second week of December. And then the whites are going to be bonkers when they come out, but they only come out second week of December. For everybody else, Rob, who hasn’t yet ordered the shoes? Okay. Who hasn’t yet ordered the shoes? Rob, can you please show the video of the commercial that we have? Uh, is this a commercial or is this Okay, go ahead and play this clip. Go for it, folk. When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice to make it fast. We had the choice to make it cheap. We chose neither. Instead, we chose Tuscano. We chose true Italian craftsmanship. Each pair touched by 50 skilled hands. We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail. And we chose the finest quality at every step. Introducing the future looks bright collection. Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary, rather intentional, luxurious, timeless. And go. I’m in love, man. I am so in love with this. When a product When a product goes perfect, it goes perfect. Rob, can you go please to vt.com? Okay, go to the bottom. So, here’s the thing that you got to keep in mind, folks. I keep reiterating reiterating this because we’ve been working on this for 2 years. This is what makes it unique. Takes you seconds to put these FLBs on. Okay. Laceless. The first of its kind to have the super critical foam tech in it. When you wear it, you will feel it immediately. Anybody and everybody that I see who’s worn this, the first thing they say is, “I cannot believe how comfortable this is.” Go read the reviews. Go read the reviews of people that have bought these shoes. So now if you buy the same thing with Berluti that matches to it 1840 Fergama 895 Zenia 1190 Gucci 950 but they’re not laceless. A couple of these are the craftsmanship us and Berluti were in the five uh different factories in Tuskan Italy and the FB are the only ones and I mean the only ones that have the super critical foam in it. If you haven’t placed the order yet, go to vtmerch.com, place the order, and if you want to get a surprise Christmas gift for your husband, the white ones are not going to stay on the shelves for too long. Pre-order the white ones. They look absolutely ridiculous. If you enjoy this video, you want to watch more videos like this, click here. And if you want to watch the entire podcast, click here.

99999999998 to 1. But hey a win is a win lol
Now it's extortion 😂 but it's been going on to men for decades.
Men everywhere smile a little bit inside.
Adam we got one boys
The most enjoyed Adam quote maybe ever❤
Love
😂 it's all good when men have to pay it
My ex is broke compared to Halle and he pays 2 grand. Before you come at me, he wrote up the contract and filed with the courts. All I did was sign.
That means millions of men have been extorted for centuries
Equal rights,in fact they are rich
Welcome to our world boss chicks 👍🏼👍🏼
Gents!! I love men…I am a business owner, married, mother, grandmother. I love the show.
Tom Cruise pays $33,333 per month and I never have heard about him complaining.
It’s your kid Halle… if a Man said what you said he would be called a deadbeat.
A lot of blue collar men r low key gay
When a man has to pay its water under the bridge but when it comes to a woman congressional hearing 😂
You're right lady lets stop ALL child support not just the ones for rich women that pay men
People use it as alimony. We need to separate the 2. Or just split the child’s time between mother and father
Wow,she gets it.She really Really gets it.
Only when WOMEN have to pay fairly. 😅
Her son is 11 when she's 59, so she gave birth at 48?!?! Holy crap!
3. Health risks for the mother
Even with top medical support, pregnancy at 48 is high risk due to the strain it places on the cardiovascular and metabolic systems.
Commonly elevated risks:
Gestational diabetes – 4–6× more likely.
Preeclampsia / hypertension – 3–5× more likely.
Cesarean delivery – >80% of births at this age are C-section.
Placenta previa or abruption – much more common.
Cardiac strain – especially in women with preexisting heart or blood pressure issues.
Miscarriage – ~50–75% with own eggs (mostly due to chromosomal issues), <10% with donor eggs.
Despite those numbers, with elite-level obstetric and cardiac care, many women do carry healthy pregnancies — though typically under close monitoring, with early intervention protocols.
4. Risks for the baby
With own eggs:
Chromosomal abnormalities (like Down syndrome) rise exponentially with age:
Age 35 → ~1 in 350
Age 40 → ~1 in 100
Age 45 → ~1 in 30
Age 48 → likely around 1 in 10 or higher
With donor eggs, those risks fall back to the donor’s age (e.g., 1 in 1,000 if the donor is 25).
Other risks:
Preterm birth
Low birth weight
Stillbirth (slightly elevated, mostly due to placental insufficiency)
NICU admission (more common but often recoverable)
Generally woman are left holding the bag with raising the children, both parents have a responsibility to support the kids you produced.
Outrageous. Its her children too. How dare she.
ff of.Women need no men 😡
😂😂😂😂😂 shut up and pay up like the rest of us
She doesn't need to drag everyone through the dirt
Not all men have money. Some men started some business together with their well to do wife. Your mama is a female. Not all men are good and not all women are bad.
Women scream they want “equal rights” Butcwant none of the consequences of it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Equality across the board, ladies!…
Welcome to being a man. We cant just k*ll a kid when we dont want it. (Not that i advocate for it)
I had a child in 1971 was married , my child never got a sent from him![ His father]
If she pays him 16k would that not indicate he has the kids more
