Halle
Berry
has
reportedly
getting
sued
by
former
UFC
fighter
Cat
Zingano
claiming
the
former
ghosted
her
on
a
potential
movie
role.
According
to
TMZ,
Berry
had
got
in
touch
with
the
real-life
fighter
in
2019,
while
she
was
prepping
for
the
upcoming
movie
Bruised.
Halle
is
all
set
to
make
her
directorial
debut
with
the
film
in
which
she
also
stars
as
an
aged
Mixed
Martial
Arts
fighter
who
is
hoping
for
one
more
shot
at
relevance
in
the
octagon.
Cat
Zingano
in
the
lawsuit
has
alleged
that
she
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.
Zingano
reportedly
dropped
out
of
a
fight
on
Halle's
advice
and
was
released
from
her
UFC
contract.
TMZ
reported
that
after
UFC
offered
her
a
fight,
Zingano
alleged
that
she
spoke
with
Berry
about
the
fight
and
whether
or
not
it
would
impact
her
potential
movie
debut.
She
further
claimed
in
the
lawsuit
that
Berry
told
her
to
turn
down
the
fight
for
fear
that
it
would
create
liability
concerns
for
the
movie's
insurer.
However,
now
that
she
is
no
longer
an
active
UFC
fighter,
Zingano
noted
that
Berry
then
informed
her
that
she
could
no
longer
be
a
part
of
the
movie,
despite
Berry
being
the
one
to
convince
her
not
to
take
on
a
new
fight.
Zingano
in
the
suit
claimed
that
Halle
Berry
has
now
cut
off
all
communication
with
her,
forcing
her
to
take
legal
action
as
a
result
of
the
lost
movie
opportunity
as
well
as
her
UFC
career.
