Jonathan Majors to Stand Trial For Domestic Violence

All that being said, you have to keep in mind that RDJ is also a white Hollywood star. He could’ve screwed up a thousand times more and he would still get a second chance. As a black man in the entertainment industry, Majors should’ve known better. The same thing his white counterparts can get away with, he can’t. The same rules don’t apply.

Still amazes me to this day that RDJ got away with breaking Halle Berry’s arm on the set of Gothika. If that was Gwyneth Paltrow, all hell would’ve broke loose. But I digress.

RDJ broke Halle Berry's arm?!? How did he manage to do that? I assume it wasn't intentional, as I can't see any reason anyone would do that...???

Rumor has it he never apologized to Halle directly, so she still holds a grudge against him (I don’t blame her).

But how did he do it? Was it just an accidental bump, or perhaps a stunt or move gone awry, or did he do it on purpose for some reason? I'm trying to get the context.

Big difference.... the incident with RDJ and Halle Berry was while fliming a scene in the movie

Halle Berry –– Gothika
During a struggle between Robert Downey Jr. and Halle Berry in the psychological thriller Gothika, Downey Jr. restrained Berry a little too vigorously. According to Berry, “Robert Downey twisted my arm and it broke. It was a freak accident but we’re good friends.” Downey reportedly stopped when he heard Berry’s arm pop. Shooting on Gothika was halted for eight weeks while Berry healed.

Oh. Well that puts a different spin on it.

He was supposed to grab her arm in a scene and he grabbed her the wrong way and too hard and it broke.
