Halle Berry Has Cut Off Her Family

The latest slice from Halle Berry's real life soap opera:



Halle Berry has 'cut herself off from her family', claims estranged sister : Daily Mail

She's currently in the middle of a custody battle with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry over their daughter Nahla.

But Halle Berry has another family issue in her life that hasn't gained so much press attention - she's estranged from her siblings.

The actress's half-sister Renee Berry accused the Oscar winner of cutting off the African-American side of her family.



Renee, a food service worker from Alabama, is desperate to reconnect with her famous sister, especially when she is going through such a difficult time in the courts.

Renee is the daughter of 44-year-old Halle's late African-American father Jerome and Edwina Taylor - who broke up with him shortly before he started dating the actress' mother Judith Hawkins.

Although Jerome and Judith split up when Halle was just four years old, Renee remained 'very close' to the future Hollywood star while they were growing up - despite cutting herself off from her father after the divorce.

Renee told the Daily Mirror: 'I’m sad to say it seems like she does not want anything to do with us. I have not spoken to her in about five years.

'I tried to contact her through her website, to congratulate her on her Oscar, but no one got back to me.
