Shepard asked Berry, who has played a “freaky whore” in quite a few movies, if she was attracted to addicts.

Without missing a beat, actress he replied“Well, I had one husband who claimed to be a sex addict, but I do not fucking imagine that shit. This is bullshit.

Benét claims he has never been a sex addict

After dating for 2 years, Berry and Benét married in 2011, and the “Spend My Life With You” singer admitted to being unfaithful during their relationship. However, history shows that Benét repeatedly denied that he was a sex addict.

In an interview with ABC News in 2004 he said“I’m not a sex addict. I’m a person who… through a series of emotional events, troubles, challenges, has made really, really silly, painful mistakes.”

The “Georgy Porgy” singer also claimed that he didn’t have sexual activity with the ladies he cheated on Berry with. He admitted exchanging “verbally inappropriate” messages and “physical contact that was extremely inappropriate and inappropriate within a marriage”, but denies it was sexual activity.

In an interview with Sister 2 Sister in 2008, Benét again denied this idea. “For me, the thing about sex addiction was that I actually do not feel like I’m any more addicted to sex than some other man. I went to this therapy as a condition for further development in my marriage,” he said.

He further explained that going to therapy “was a condition for us to move forward in our marriage,” noting that it was “kind of like group therapy.”

Benet claimed he often heard “deep stories” about “those married men who couldn’t stop going to prostitutes or gay men, who checked into bathhouses and had anonymous sex.”

“I think there is such a thing as sexual addiction,” he said. “So I think there is such a thing as going through certain things in life or in relationships where you make bad choices.”

Four years later, the daddy of two did something interview on “This Is 50,” during which he said, “It wasn’t me and it never was me.”

Interviewer Jack Thriller called the rumor “nonsense” and said “we’re sorting it out right now,” to which Benét replied, “I’ve tried to figure it out several times, but y’all won’t listen.”

Benét added that therapy wasn’t something he wanted to pursue, suggesting he was given an ultimatum: “Do it or it’s over!”

So why did Benét go to therapy if he wasn’t a sex addict?

The idea got here from Berry’s mother, Judith Ann (née Hawkins), whom the “Losing Isaiah” star revealed in 2004 on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” explaining how she learned of Benét’s cheating scandals.

Ten days after she became the primary (and still only) black woman to win the 2002 Academy Award for Best Actress, a tabloid appeared within the press alleging that Benét had cheated on the long run Catwoman star “with a woman with of your past.”

Initially, Berry didn’t imagine the reports about her husband’s affair.

“I didn’t even ask him if it was true. I said I would sue the magazine, I’ve already done it,” she said. “And about a week later, he finally saw that I was in lawsuit mode and said, I need to tell you something. This article is true. And it breaks my heart because I had a perfect marriage.”

Even though Benét got here clean about this one woman, a few days later he revealed to Berry that there have been more of them while she was filming Die Another Day in London. She said she thinks she will “fix it” by wanting to stay in her marriage for the long haul.

“For the next two weeks of my life he was there, there was vomiting and I discovered that there was woman after woman, after woman, after woman. And then I realized he was sick.”

The confession led to Berry’s “emotional breakdown.”

“I had an emotional breakdown. This window, my bay window, looked really good. I assumed I might get through it straight away,” the Marvel actor said. “I had a bit of a breakdown and took a few days off from work. My mother flew there and was the first to ask, “Have you heard of sex addiction?”

When broaching the subject, Berry’s mother offered the couple a solution because Benét had been dishonest and had been having affairs with other women allegedly since “the day he met her.”

“My mom said, ‘He needs to go to rehab and I’m thinking about rehab because he wants to work through it. You can recover from this and I believe in it.”

Berry even said she winced when accepting the perfect actress Oscar in 2002 for “Monster’s Ball.”

That same yr, Benét entered rehab for said addiction, however the four-time Grammy-nominated artist was still unable to save his marriage. In 2003, Berry announced a statement confirming their separation, and in 2005 they divorced.

There is not a single meeting, business deal or friendship with Sean “Diddy” Combs that is not exempt from scrutiny while awaiting trial in his federal abuse and racketeering case.

The once billionaire, who lived a lavish lifestyle and had homes in Miami and New York, has been held on the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, since his arrest on September 18. In the spring, each residences were hit concurrently in reference to a federal case.

Widespread speculation about his drug-fueled “freak” orgies, detailed in a three-count indictment – in addition to lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct – prompted web sleuths to resurface photos and videos from before several a long time throughout his career, shedding light on those with whom he once shared a kinship.

Ashton Kutcher is considered one of the Hollywood stars who’ve turn out to be friends Diddy during his reign because the self-proclaimed king of New York and party host on each coasts, who made a reputation for himself as a top hip-hop producer.

The friendship between the 2 men dates back to the start of the twenty first century, but in the face of legal problems, the actor now not wants to have anything to do with the hit creator.

“Ashton needs to choose her friends better,” an said In touch anonymous source. “The spotlight has shone on him for enjoying relationships with some of Hollywood’s most famous stars. It’s going to be hard for him to save his career after this Diddy mess!” according to the person.

Kutcher and his wife, actress Mila Kunis, have been silent since they faced criticism last May for letters asking a Los Angeles judge to commute the sentence of their “That 70’s Show” co-star Danny Masterson.

Masterson was found guilty of raping two women in 2001 and 2003. On September 7, 2023, he was sentenced to 30 years and life in prison.

The couple described him as a loving member of the family to whom they entrusted the care of their children. Kutcher and Kunis have two children, 10-year-old daughter Wyatt and 7-year-old son Dmitri. In a joint video apology, they stated that they’d no concept that their support can be publicized.

However, due to bad press, Kutcher and Kunis stepped down as board chair and board observer, respectively, of the anti-sex trafficking organization Thorn.

Kutcher founded the organization with his ex-wife and actress Demi Moore. In announcing his departure, he said, “I cannot allow my error in judgment to distract from our efforts and the children we serve.”

Still, from hearing from people claiming to know confidential information, Kutcher is concerned that his former friend will “say anything, do anything, or turn against anyone” – including himself. “Ashton absolutely regrets her friendship with Diddy considering what happened,” he said Daily mail source.

This person noted that the previous Lenovo product engineer one way or the other feels “lied to, betrayed, taken for granted and manipulated” by Diddy and Masterson. “Now he doesn’t trust anyone except his wife Mila. He intends to keep his circle for his family.

Kutcher took part in the infamous White Party in 2009, although he was seen dancing with Diddy for years before settling into life as a family man. In quite a few interviews, he even joked that he couldn’t openly speak about his friend’s crazy encounters.

“Well, there’s a lot of things I can’t say,” Kutcher said, stumbling over his words as he tried to recall the relevant memory in a 2019 “Hot Ones” interview. “I can’t recognize that either… I actually ride a bike,” he added.

Kutcher later said, “Diddy’s party stories… man, it was like a weird walk down memory lane.”

Although prosecutors forged a large net across the Dirty Money frontman, the “Punk’d” creator was reportedly not involved in any way in the alleged wrongdoing.

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio is also said to be distancing himself from Diddy as photos of him from the White Party have also surfaced online.
