He took a step back and shot three times through the door.” “It’s a marvel that none of the bullets ever hit us,” Charlize continued. Gerda shot her husband to save her daughter and herself. She had killed him. The threat had been extinguished. Ruled as an act of self-defence no charges were placed on Gerda.
She’s not embarrassed to talk about any of it because more we talk about it because she realized that she’s not alone in any of it”, said Gerda as she embraced herself. This tale has always been about growing up with addicts and what that does to a person.
In a recent interview, the artist wished the events of that night had never occurred. “It’s what happens when you don’t get to the bottom of these problems.”, she said.
Regardless of all the trials and tribulations fate has thrown her way, Theron has always triumphed, standing strong as if declaring war on fate itself. Charlize Theron has proven her authority and continues to amaze us all to this day.
