Hollywood star Halle Berry has reportedly become the subject of a legal spat with former UFC fighter Cat Zingano, who claims the actor ghosted her on a potential movie role. TMZ has reported that Zingano named Berry after she approached the real-life fighter in 2019 while preparing for her directorial debut in the upcoming movie `Bruised`, in which she also stars as an aged Mixed Martial Arts fighter who is hoping for one more shot at relevance in the octagon.
The lawsuit reportedly alleged that Zingano was told by Berry to keep her schedule open so that she could be ready to act in the movie when the time came to start filming. However, UFC came calling soon after with a fight offer for Zingano. She has alleged that she spoke with Berry about the fight and whether or not it would impact her potential movie debut.
