Halle Berry Slams Ex-Husband’s Addiction Claims on Podcast
Halle Berry has openly dismissed claims made by her ex-husband, Eric Benét, that he was a sex addict.
During a recent appearance on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast, Berry, now 58, recalled her second marriage, stating, “I had one husband who said he was a sex addict… but I don’t f—ing believe that s—.”
Although she did not directly name Benét, it is widely known that he sought treatment for alleged sex addiction in 2002 during their tumultuous marriage, which ended in 2003 amid infidelity allegations.
Benét, however, has denied being a sex addict in past interviews, attributing his actions to emotional mistakes rather than addiction.
The couple’s relationship was highly publicized at the time, especially after Berry’s historic Oscar win while they were still married.
