Halle Berry proved the show must go on as she made her first red carpet appearance in Hollywood following her split with Olivier Martinez.

The actress, who starred opposite Pierce Brosnan in Die Another Day, joined Naomie Harris at the Black Women Of Bond Tribute, on Tuesday, wearing an asymmetrical duck egg blue dress with a halter neck and strappy black heels.

And while she hid her personal heartache behind a smile, it had surely been a tough day after her former husband David Justice talked exclusively to DailyMail.com exclusively about how the Oscar winner had tried to ruin his life.

Brave face: Halle Berry turned out for the Black Women Of Bond Tribute in Los Angeles Tuesday night in her first red carpet since her split with husband Olivier Martinez, with whom she has a two year old son Maceo

Bond duo: Halle, 49, posed for photos with Naomie Harris, 39, who plays Miss Moneypenny in Spectre. Naomi wore a flower-patterned long-sleeved red mini dress and black high-heeled sandals

Justice, who was married to Halle from 1993 to 1997, is still angry about the rumors that he cheated on her and was so abusive he caused permanent hearing loss in her left ear.

Now a father, the former pro athlete told DailyMail.com he wants to set the record straight once and for all.

'Back then it didn't matter, but it's different now,' he said. 'Halle never said I hit her but she never said I didn't either, which was disappointing.'

'Let me tell you something, I was raised by a single mother and I love and respect her dearly, I would never hit a woman. Never. So, now I have said all that I am going to say on the subject.'

First love: Halle Berry married former baseball player David Justice on January 1, 1993, but they divorced in 1997. She publicly said she was so depressed that she considered taking her own life

Vented: Justice went on a Twitter rant on Monday apparently blaming his former wife for the break up of her relationships and for ruining his life

Watch out: The former baseball pro issued a warning to the French actor who has a son with Halle

Justice also sent out a series of tweets warning Olivier to watch out.

'Yup...Me, Eric, Gabriel and Olivier were all her 'Knight in Shinging Armor, until it ends. Then we all become the worst guys in history,' he tweeted.

He then tweeted: 'Just wait, Olivier...It's coming! She insinuated that her daughter wasn't safe around Gabriel...look it up and see the reason! Just wrong. smh'.

The former MLB star ended his outburst, saying: 'It just makes me mad to still see the same lie being perpetuated about the source of her abuse being me. Never happened!'

Halle was also previously married to musician Eric Benét and had a relationship with Canadian model Gabriel Auby with whom she has a daughter Nahla, now seven,

Hours after Justice vented, Benét, who was married to Halle from 2001 to 2005, tweeted his support: 'My man @23david justice is tweeting some truth dis' mornin'!'

Split: On Monday, Halle filed for divorce from Olivier after a two year marriage. The Frenchman also filed a divorce petition to end their union

Courtship: Halle dated singer Eric Benét for two years before they married. They separated two years later. He tweeted his support of first husband Dave Justice
