Halle Warns the Help: Don't Speak to Me!

301. Chill out! This is standard language in Hollwoody service contracts! Other than telling a designer what she wants done to her cabinetsa nd the designer getting a contract with a company she (Halle) probably didn't even see the contract. Most likely the designer signed the contract AND robably checked the box saying 'no contact please'.

302. halle needs to remember WHERE she came from.. bedford ohio is hardly the glam capital of the world. she is a regular person with an overinflated ego. She puts her pants on ( or off) like the rest of us.She could still be at a 7/11 on the night shift. Good fortune goes as quickly as it is gained girlfriend.. you need a reality check. There was NO silver spoonin your mouth at birth, more like plastic. Get over yourself..you give REAL people in ohio a bad name.

303. WOW think much of herself..........how does she know they would even want to talk to her.......she just lost some respect in my book if this is true

304. If I were famous like Halle Berry, I wouldn't want the hired help speaking to me either. You think you are being nice, and then your personal things are stolen and someone has given a false story to the National Enquirer. Workers are there to work, not socialize. Right now, Halle has too many racist, jealous people hating on her because she is dating this white man. The last thing she needs is someone telling the world that their relationship is a publicity stunt or that they are not in love, don't look in love, fight a lot, the man is gay... You get the point.

Halle Berry, you are doing the right thing, girl!!! Keep your head up. Keep your love strong and be true to yourself. Do not allow other people to dictate to you how you should live your life or what color your man has to be. You do that and you will have a lovely life.

305. what a spoiled, haughty bitch,.No, this is not standard behavior in Hollywood contracts as someone said. I know somone who did the landscaping for actor Sylvester Stallones house, among othrs, My friend said Stallone couldnt have been any nicer, just a regular guy, totally unlike what Halle Attila the Hun is obviously like. Berry has gotten an overly inflated opinion of herself. Workers who do jobs such as this have a job to do for Lords sake, not to worry about socailizing with the damned celebrity.Its pretty bad when you cant even ask the person who owns the house a question about their own home while you are working on it. It was bad enough anyway that Berry got in little or no trouble for the hit and run accident she was in years ago. She unbelievably got off while using feelble excuses for an act that anyone else not famous would have gond to jail for. I used to admire Berry . Not anymore.

306. When my friends contracted and worked for Slyvester Stallone, he did none of this sort of thing to them that is claimed of halle berry. the guys who worked for him had nothing but great things to say about Stallone, THere was none of this "dont talk to me unless i talk to you." crap..

307. OK - this may sound harsh, but, can you imagine the amount of drool on any worker commission by Halle. Come on, Brody couldn't help himself. Maybe, folks should not allow her stunning beauty to evoke emotions that have no bearing on the matter at hand, in this case stain the bloody cabinets, collect the balance and roll out!!!!!

308. Well i totally agree with halle! because if your goning to talk to me i want it to be about something important.And not something meaningless just because i'm hot and famous.So I think you guys need to real with yourself and yourself in her shoes.But don't get me wrong I don't know the lady but from my part I would agree that I wouldn't want people talking just bullshit to me.

310. she aint all that.meet her on the street with no makeup on AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH you wouldnt recognize her old ass

Posted at 7:16PM on Mar 12th 2007 by yeahyou!

311. I doubt seriously that Halle knows whats in the contract. I'm sure her assistant or handles things like this. People jump to conclusions just to dog people.

312. I can appreciate the fact that Berry wants to remain private, but to forbid workers in her home from approaching her is rather ridiculous and smacks of snobbery and arrogance.

313. Comment #69 authored by JUST ME. I am delighted that you are doing so well, but you sound rather condescending, if not arrogant and pretentious. Forgive me if I underestimate you.

314. people people people...
Whatever your opinion of Halle Berry may be. The woman has random people walking up to her on a daily basis invading her personal time on a daily basis.
Not everyone has the sense to be understanding or professional when they encounter a celeb and so simple things like "don't talk the clients ear off or try to become their new best friend in the hopes of becoming famous while you have access in their home" need to be outlined in a work contract.

it's the same as any overly chatty cable guy, or maintenance person.
sometime boundaries aren't respected in those kind of situations and it's uncomfortable when you don't want your carpenter(cableguy, cabbie, whatever)'s life story, you just want your shit repaired and the strangers out of your home.
I wish we could all have such specific contracts with stuff like that.

Lay off.

315. Well, I suspect that Halle's had some trouble in the past with folks who find themselves in her presence and go a little crazy. Her mistake was to put her concerns in writing when a few private words with the contractor would probably have covered it....but then, if she had done that, what would we have to talk about?

p.s. The comments about her "not being that hot" and "washed up" are very mean. Can't you disagree with her without being so cruel and petty?
