Halle Berry took to Twitter Friday to express her sadness and anger regarding allegations of sexual harassment against her former manager, Vincent Cirrincione. The Oscar-winning actress responded hours after The Washington Post published a story in which nine women accused Cirrincione, 70, of harassment. Several say Cirrincione, who is white, presented himself as a gatekeeper for black actresses in a mostly white industry. “Yesterday I was saddened by the (allegations) against my former manager, Vincent Cirrincione, but today I’m sick after reading the horrifying detailed accounts of his abuse toward 9 women,” she tweeted. The tweet continued as Berry expressed anger at Cirrincione for using her Hollywood status to try to persuade women of colour that he could help them become stars.
