Eric Benet got quite the bad reputation after his high-profile divorce from one of the most beautiful women in show business, but I have to respect him for finally calling the "sex addiction" that broke up his marriage to Halle Berry what it was. Good ol' fashioned infidelity. New York Magazine broached the subject with him outside of the Carlos Campos show Sunday.
How about David Duchovny's recent revelation that he's in rehab for sex addiction? Benet didn't know Duchovny had sought treatment, but wished him well. "I hope he finds peace and help and whatever he's dealing with," Benet said. "Sex addiction is a real thing, you know. In retrospect, it's not what I would label my situation." Hold on! If he wasn't addicted to sex, how does he explain his former cheating ways? "Making some stupid-ass, stupid-ass mistakes," he said, shaking his head. Yep, that's exactly what we'd call getting dumped by Halle Berry, too.
I haven't really listened to anything lately other than Black Bottom Collective "L-O-V-E". It's quite refreshing, the video I mean:

At least he's finally fessing up to his mistakes. Blaming an "addiction" shifts the responsibility from where (in this case) it squarely belongs - on Benet's shoulders.
I'm sorry….who the f!ck cheats on Halle Berry? I'll tell you who: an IDIOT!
@ that chick why do you say that? we don't know much about her personally, except that she has a history of bad choices in men. sorry, but that indicates that there is more of a problem with her that needs to be worked out.
Beauty doesn't necessarily make you interesting, cool or a pleasure to be around. Physical beauty doesn't mean that you have a great personality or are beautiful on the inside.
Not that I know all about Ms. Berry or anything, but I do have a good friend who has known Benet since he was a kid and he's always said that Halle is a control freak.
While I know there are three sides to every story. I could absoultely believe that Halle Berry has some significant personality flaws.
Gotta love that honesty
Well, I have a little respect for him now.
Qui, you're right about beauty but people don't marry solely for beauty. Also, there are a lot of people I suspect of being control freaks without evidence. Halle's not on that list. Her co-stars, especially on X Men, have stated how shockingly chill she is which I'll take over your friend of a friend of Eric or whatever.
I never actually said that Benet married Halle for her beauty. My point is that her beauty doesn't justify her ability not to be cheated on nor does it make her more relationship capable.
No doubt - you can pull your facts from whatever source you pull. But for me, the word of a friend of a good friend is much better than what Halle Berry's Co-star's think. I mean what are they going to say? Halle Berry is one of the most powerful women in Hollywood. Their career is tied into hers from a public and industry relations standpoint.
But, I can also understand your point about how the X-men co-stars are much more credible than my friend…after all this is just a blog post…and who the hell am I to you anyway!
Halle's X-Men co-stars are not going to trash her reputation because they may work with her again. Haven't you noticed all movie/tv people say how great their experience was on-set, true or not.
I believe Halle's not the easiest person to be with and that can wear someone's psyche down to the nub, day in and day out — beautiful face be damned!
I am no fan of Halle B.'s alleged acting abilities or wit.
However, the Benet man cheated repeatedly. Regardless of his partner's qualities or flaws. She could be a control freak or an easy-going angel; he still would have cheated. He is responsible for that.
She is responsible for her bad choices in men.
Oh, Stereohyped, I hate it when you make me post on the life of silly people I really care nothing about -procrastination is my enemy…
Who cheats on Halle Berry? Every man she's ever married. David Justice got caught picking up prostitutes, then Eric Benet who I'm sur Halle's people put out that he had a sex addiction problem to save face on yet anothe bad choice in men she main. Halle's fail relationships and marriage have one commom denominator and that's Halle herself..
I think most women need to have a positive father figure who model for them what a good husband is and a general model for what a healthy partnership looks like. Whether or not you're aware of your daddy issues, you can't deny the fact that it will greatly impact you. When you've got two people who have no model for a healthy relationship, it's the blind leading the blind.
Also, many philanderers (not the prostitute visiting sort or the sniveling immature kind) are charming. I know because several have tried to chat me up, most while I was jail bait in several states. They are incredibly charming and I can see how a lot of women fall into that trap. Enjoy the attention of the Daniel Cleavers of the world and find yourself a lovely Mark Darcy type. Yes, I just watched Bridget Jones' Diary.
