Halle Berry Hires Bodyguard After Racist Threats On Her Baby


Oscar-winner Halle Berry has hired security guards because of racist threats to her unborn baby.

The star, three months pregnant, has received letters at her LA home from an anonymous sicko.

One said she and her child would be "cut into hundreds of pieces".

Halle, 41, who has a white father and an African-American mother, is expecting her first child with white Canadian model Gabriel Aubry.Click here to find out more!

A source close to the actress said: "Halle does not normally use security but she has taken on a couple of guys to make sure." Police are investigating the threats.

I wonder if the letters actually said something involving race or if they're just assuming it's a racist threat because it's a threat on the baby (not that that would necessarily be a wrong assumption).

Either way, I'm sure Adrienne Curry is displeased to know racism DOESN'T just exist in "a few places".

omg how scary

People forget that she's half white!

It's probably some jealous asshole angry that she's so happy now.

You have to be a sick person to wish ill on a pregnant woman.

Yeah, that's really messed up to do to any pregnant woman. She doesn't need that kind of stress especially now.
[info]ifuseekamy 26th-Sep-2007 03:11 pm (UTC)
I had no idea she was pregnant

There are some sick fucks in this world, to threaten an unborn baby? People need to get a life, read a book, pet a cat or get a job.

that's horrible.
hapa kids are the cutest.

Pls excuse my ignorance, but what does "hapa" mean?
[info]onruecambon 26th-Sep-2007 04:51 pm (UTC)
asian slang for mixed

:( well there you have it. racism is thriving today.
[info]calliopesongs 26th-Sep-2007 05:24 pm (UTC)
okay, the threat didn't have anything specifically to do with race, and i wouldn't take an isolated incident such as this to say that racism is "thriving today." that's a broad statement. of course racism exists, and it exists everywhere, but i wouldn't use an instance like this to illustrate that point. i'm not fond of the idea that if ANYTHING bad happens to an african-american person, it OBVIOUSLY has to be racially motivated. i had a black man accuse me of being racist at work because his tuna fish wasn't on sale, i mean what makes anybody think this was racially motivated? i don't get the connection.

He saw you giving all those white folks a discount.
[info]musicislife83 26th-Sep-2007 03:14 pm (UTC)
I feel like we live in 1940 or something with all this racisim shit...i mean really threating an unborn baby!?!?!

I hate the world we live in
[info]rotticahei 27th-Sep-2007 08:03 pm (UTC)
me too. why would anybody want to do that to a pregnant woman? she's probably very scared. i hope they're ok.
[info]radical_teen 26th-Sep-2007 03:15 pm (UTC)
Holy shit she's old to have ababy. I never realise she was so old.
[info]squid_ink 26th-Sep-2007 03:17 pm (UTC)
maybe he has super sperm
[info]radical_teen 26th-Sep-2007 03:21 pm (UTC)
LOL, meaning that after the age of 39 they said that pregnancy would pose a higher risk to both mum and child. Seriously, she looks no where near 41. I thought she was 31 or something!

Well yes she is slightly wrinkly but I though that was because she was so skinny.
[info]curious_maya 26th-Sep-2007 03:15 pm (UTC)
The number is staggering of how many pregnant women get killed every year. I don't blame her for adding extra security after this threat. There are a lot of sick fucks out there. :-(
[info]7950 26th-Sep-2007 03:27 pm (UTC)
homicide is the leading cause of death for pregnant women.
[info]prescilla_bean 26th-Sep-2007 03:30 pm (UTC)
wow, that's awful!
[info]theblow 26th-Sep-2007 04:11 pm (UTC)
It's second to car wrecks.

And all you people saying OMG PREGNANT WOMEN ARE IN DANGER!!@22, come on. We're already living in a fear-obsessed society; you should think before adding to it.
[info]savannah_rose24 26th-Sep-2007 03:35 pm (UTC)
Yeah, but isn't it usually the husband or significant other who kills the pregnant woman and that is why the numbers are so high?
[info]joliefoliepolie 26th-Sep-2007 03:16 pm (UTC)
Oh man, I wouldn't leave the house, but I'm kind of neurotic like that.
[info]squid_ink 26th-Sep-2007 03:17 pm (UTC)
I don't, now.. and I'm not pregnant or famous or getting death threats.

I'm just lazy.
[info]squid_ink 26th-Sep-2007 03:16 pm (UTC)
that's horrible. She's annoying.. but it's not the kids fault.

how scary.

people suck
[info]boomstick 26th-Sep-2007 03:17 pm (UTC)
That is SO FUCKED-UP. If that happened to me, I'd flee the damn planet.
[info]knoxedamia 26th-Sep-2007 03:17 pm (UTC)
I'm with you about the race assumption thing - it pisses me off.
[info]grown_up_wrong 26th-Sep-2007 03:18 pm (UTC)
The source has it the other way around, she has a white mother from Britain and an African American father.
[info]sunoftheskye 26th-Sep-2007 03:19 pm (UTC)
lmao, I didn't notice that
[info]nahimanatane 26th-Sep-2007 03:42 pm (UTC)
Thats what I thought.
[info]ayajedi 26th-Sep-2007 04:52 pm (UTC)
That's what I thought when I read it.
[info]cdsdralion 26th-Sep-2007 05:44 pm (UTC)
I was thinking that too. Is it bad that the wrong fact alarmed me more than the actual story? I mean that did, but I'm kinda crazy about getting facts straight.
