Bah. Here's the article from IMDb.com (http://us.imdb.com/):
Benet Speaks Out on Cheating on Berry
R&B hunk Eric Benet has spoken out for the first time about cheating on his stunning actress wife Halle Berry. Benet made tabloid headlines last year when it emerged he had checked into Meadows rehabilitation clinic in Wickenburg, Arizona, for sex addiction therapy after cheating on his Oscar-winning wife of two years. He says, "Before, I was trying to portray an image of this person who I wanted to be - Mr. I'm So Spiritually In Touch With Myself, Mr. I Could Never Cheat On My Wife - I really did want to be all those things, but I just wasn't. "I asked myself, 'Why did I do this thing? I am someone who is deeply in love with my wife. I want to be married...What is this weakness inside me that's allowing this to happen?'"
Benet says of the therapy he and his wife sought after the incident, "It's an extremely painful process. I was so disconnected and not in touch with myself. For whatever reason I had not faced some painful things in my life. "I just kind of learned how to compartmentalize my emotions and not really deal with them. It's a very dangerous thing because then you start doing s*** that doesn't make sense." He adds, "This past year has been cathartic as far as learning what marriage and relationships are all about. It took all this s*** for me to get real, but now I'm singing and writing more honestly."

Jeeeesus, is this fool for real?:rolleyes:
Berry seems to have a knack for marrying assholes...First one beat her so bad she can't hear well from one of her ears and now Eric Benet "king of the nobody R&B stars" cheats on her.
The worst part is she's seeking therapy with this clown. Uuuuum, Mrs. Berry, you're one of the most desirable movie stars on the planet and this guy STILL cheats on you; you want a diagnosis from Dr. Sev, he's an asshole....PERIOD!
Dump his ass and he'll be forgotten before you can say, Eric Who?

My question: with her talent, personality, and looks, who would want to cheat on Halle Berry? :confused:

What the hell is Eric Benet's job? Is he a musician or something? It looks to me like he professionally mooches off his wife, and he's not exactly showing her any appreciation. As Adam said, who the hell would want to cheat on a woman as perfect as Halle Berry? What a loser. Halle...dump him, fast.

Just to stick up a little bit for my man David Justice, she's never actually accused him of that. Longstanding rumour has it that it was Wesley Snipes who pulled that little maneuver when they were dating.

Pretty soon, Berry will have to perform a good ol' fashioned snip, snip on him. I mean, when he cheats on someone like that who's bringing in the big bucks, he's pretty worthless

I can't help but think the guy was really stupid to possibly blow his marriage to Halle. I would have kicked him out- no second chance- oh well. I'm not as forgiving as a lot of these actresses- so many of them arre so needy, considering how beautiful and talented they might be.
On the other hand, I remember when she did the Monster's Ball (which I haven't seen but has a lot of nude sex scenes I guess), and she said she arranged for him to come to a private screening to see the scenes cause she knew it would be hard for him to watch his wife so intimate with another man and she said that he was unbelievably supportive. I remember thinking that he might be repressing a "litlle" bit of what he really felt.What else could he say and then he had to sit there and hear everyone talking about his wife's sex scenes with this other guy- a little bit humiliating!
I think sex scenes are very hard on a marriage and if these actors want to follow this path, why do they get a married? They have to realize that they can NOT have it all, but they keep trying after many divorces and broken realtionships.

Eric's R&B career pretty much took a back seat when he came into Halle's life. Remember he was in Glitter w/ Mariah Carey:rolleyes: But I am suprised that Halle is hanging onto him....Usually she would have kicked him to the curb long time ago...

I wouldn't make fun of that. I have it as well as a drinking addiction, eating addiction, sleeping addiction and a breathing addition. And cut him some slack about mooching off. I'm sure it's really hard to be that big a scum-bag puke piece of shit.

Maybe she's not the perfect person you all seem to think she is.
She might be a bitch on wheels. Or frigid in the bedroom.
I'm addicted to sex, too. Fortunately I enjoy it with my girlfriend. Maybe he doesn't enjoy it with her.
And maybe she's the reason all those relationships broke up. Looks aren't everything, people. There's an old adage in psychiatry about maybe something's wrong with you if you keep getting into destructive relationships.

I wouldn't cheat on her, but I'd leave her if she was a bitch. Looks and money ain't enough to keep me.

Bingo, Greb. There is a saying I love which says...
"The common bond between all of your dysfunctional failed relationships....is you"

There's the story of the famous PGA golfer who, upon being told by his best friend that the worlds best looking woman had just walked into the clubhouse, looked up from his drink and said 'somebody somewhere is bored with her'. This might be one of those situations.
I kinda doubt it, being that Benet comes off like a tit, but you never know...

Or the more "classier" version "You show me a beautiful woman and I'll show you a man tired of fucking her."
It takes more then looks to maintain a marriage. I thought all these frequent Hollywood divorces taught us that?
Anyway plain fact of the matter is that people will experience cheating at some point in their lives, the question is whether its's an isolated incident or they're a Kennedy.
If he's sorry, then she has the choice of giving him another shot or giving him a shot to the curb. However, after that it's ADIOS!
