That was such a narcissistic move. He betrays, disrespects and insults her and she reacts with one statement and he uses that to help clean up his sour conscience. Fast forward: That other woman has stolen most of his assets and had been screwing his partner.
He has the right to ask for a divorce, just as a woman does, if you don't love that person anymore. But, it's the why he did it in this movie. He's going to the social event and not taking her, but someone else what a bombshell . After she put her dreams and career on hold to help build his company, have his children. Then have him say , I'll always take care of my children, you can have the house. What about her living expenses, her share of the company. I didn't like the idea of him hiding assets from her , that she was entitled to. It didn't matter about the race of the woman he was cheating with. It was his lack of respect for Bernadette as a human being and mother of his children, that got me
This is such a memorable scene. Ms. Bassett’s and Ms. Devine’s characters carried this film for me. The actresses’ performances were stellar. To this day, both women are heavy-hitters that will always deliver for a director. Yeah, Whitney was good. But she was there mainly to bring in the white audience as she was then still America’s sweetheart. But the heavy-hitters were Angela and Loretta. God bless them.
I would’ve threw that brush in his face for saying “Thank you for making this easy for me” okay *Bloop* and also the chair, the lamp, the perfume bottle anything in eyesight was getting thrown at his head for sure.
It was the way he spoke to her...just foul and disrespectful. It's bad enough that he cheated on her AND left her, but it's almost like he wanted to throw salt in the wounds. Don't blame her one bit for being angry.
*@Fabianne Deacon* How would you have liked him to speak to her? And don't respond with "not like that". Give me a real life example of a "respectful" way to break up with someone.
@darkblueismyfavoritecolor.4082 Are you real?? How about not telling her he's leaving her right before the party and while she was getting ready?? How about not acting so disgustingly self righteously when he's a fucking cheater? Talking "thank you for making this easy for me" as if she didn't have the right to hurt his feelings??? Get the fuck out of here. The fact that you don't see anything wrong with how he handled is very concerning. May God help any woman who is unfortunate enough to love you.

Prime? Have you seen her lately? She looks amazing now! She's always been beautiful imo. I had to be insane to leave that for that mess he ended up with 🤣
I'm convinced he is just a no-shit husband. He leaves Bernadine for a white woman and then cheats on Terri with cousin Faith. Put him on an island by himself
He real life is similar to this character. He had the hall to question me about Farrah Fawcett performance in "extremities". Because I said she should have won the accolade that year. She lost to whoopi goldberg.
Angela Bassett was telling that dummy liked it is. How he gonna leave somebody liked her talented, beautiful, and faithful to crack-headed white girl. This was one of my favorite movies from her.
She was combative as the marriage went on. He took the easiest way out which was the ww. He even knew his career wasn't in jeopardy since he could make the house back in a year. Even if he would have stayed with, her sisterhood would have convinced to leave and not put up with his betrayal. He could have really just did this in the first place before becoming married. The guy even knew she was a firecracker, so he didn't have to care about material things as much as her. And when a woman cuts her hair short, it's usually a sign of mental trauma or abuse. Dude was stacking karma and didn't care even care. 😂
Now I grew up in the 80’s and I know the EBS signal and nuclear exchange when I see it! I’m surprised she didn’t quote the Bhagavad Gita when she dropped that bomb!
If a man is that cold blooded ,why would any woman want him,I would just focus on taking him too the cleaners and as much money 💰 as I could and I wouldn't want him.
Beyoncé did something like this in her If I Was a Boy video. She was sitting down when the rows were reverse. At first, it looked like she was cheating, but he was the one who was cheating on her
Was there a scene in this movie where one of the four lead characters was so desperate to find a black man, she took in a do nothing guy, bought him a car, got his teeth fixed, a new wardrobe, a job, etc. And all she wanted in return was a commitment/proposal. But even that was too much? The guy sitting on the couch playing video games whining, "Baby, why you putting so much pressure on me?" Was that scene in this movie or another angry black woman film?
And that white woman was actually John Travolta's late wife, Kelly Preston (and she gets the SHIT smacked out of her when Angela B. showed up at the office)
@Ozell Israelite You put the race card first so before judging people based on their skin colour check the definition of racism...and yes there is racism in the black community and a loooooot of homophobia.
@Ozell Israelite "Trader her for a younger snow bunny..." I'm sorry that's racist. I'm sick of all those prejudiced terms blacks are totally confortable to use (white bread, flour, snow bunny, white dust) because because they think they are protected from criticisms.
