OLIVIER Martinez’s explosive and frightening temper reportedly led to the end of his marriage to Halle Berry.

Sources close to the couple told People that while both of the stars had fiery personalities, Martinez’s “unpredictable temper” was the last straw for Berry.

“Olivier comes from a world where he was easily intimidated by her ability to work and that she was the breadwinner,” the source told the mag. “He was emasculated by her beauty and her power, and his temper could erupt.

“He was never physically abusive towards her. He was very possessive in a very kind of caveman way but was never abusive to her or the family.

“He had an explosive temper in a way that was profoundly frightening. You never knew when he would explode.”

Martinez has been in trouble before for his violent altercations, including a brawl with Berry’s ex Gabriel Aubry in 2012. He is also currently in the middle of a $5 million lawsuit for allegedly shoving an empty car seat at a Los Angeles International Airport employee.

“Olivier has definite anger management issues. I think this was coming for a long time and [Berry was] not wanting to have to do this,” the source added.

“In any sort of situation, you never know what will get his temper up – and it’s unnerving to live with that. Imagine that every single day.

“She is sad, very sad. This is never easy.”

The pair announced their divorce on Tuesday and are seeking joint custody of their two-year-old son Maceo-Robert.
