Renee Berry was born in 1959 in the United States of America to her parents Jerome Jesse Berry and Edwina Taylor. As of 2022, she is 63 years old. Apart from Halle Berry, she also has another sibling Heidi Berry-Henderson. Renne does not share the same mother with Halle Berry and Heidi Berry-Henderson.

Their father is the late Jerome Jesse Berry and after Renee’s mother, Edwina Taylor, left Jerome, he soon began an interracial relationship with Halle’s Caucasian mother, Judith Hawkins. The couple eventually parted ways when Halle was four years old, but he always maintained a close relationship with Halle and her sisters.

The sister- Halle and Renee had a different perspective on their father’s parenting a few years ago. Halle claimed that she witnessed her father physically abusing her mother on several occasions, and her sister, Renee, later publicly stated that their father would never hit a woman or physically abuse them, though he would occasionally give them a butt whipping if they did something wrong as children.

The following is what the Daily Mail said about Halle and her sister Renee’s account of their father, Jerome:

In interviews over the years, Halle has alleged Jerome was a violent alcoholic who beat her mother Judith in front of her and sister Heidi. In [a prior] interview, Halle said: ‘I saw my mother battered, and could not do anything to stop it.

‘My father was tyrannical, lashing out at her for no reason. I felt the effects that had on our family – I’ve experienced what these women have gone through.’

The two sisters seem to have different memories of their late father. Despite Halle’s negative memories of her childhood with Jerome, Renee Berry portrays their father as a ‘good man.’

She said: ‘My father never beat any of us. He would spank us from time to time, but he never abused us. He liked a drink or two, like anyone else does, but he was not an alcoholic.’

Halle and her older sister Renee Berry clearly have very different perspectives on their late father. We’re not sure which is correct, but it’s interesting to see their different perspectives on the story and to finally see someone from Halle Berry’s family.’

Renee Berry- Career

According to reports, Renee Berry is a food service worker from Alabama and is trying to reconnect back with her famous sister. One of the reasons why Renee really wants to get close to her sister is to be there for her seeing how times must be hard with her facing a child custody case.

 Halle Berry’s sister is accusing the actress of disowning her family and claims to have last spoken to her famous sister five years ago.

Renee says: ‘I’m sad to say it seems like she does not want anything to do with us. I have not spoken to her in about five years.‘I tried to contact her through her website, to congratulate her on her Oscar, but no one got back to me. ‘We would love to meet Nahla. We are desperate to understand why Halle is so upset, why she feels she cannot be with us.’

The first Berry daughter is really particular about wanting to be there for her superstar sister both emotionally and physically. She honestly wants to know what they did that warranted the harsh estrangement. Renee Berry also claims Halle was angry with her when she made a public plea to visit Jerome when he was dying from Parkinson’s disease.
