Halle Berry’s ex-husband denies having a sexual addiction

For those who might not remember, actress Halle Berry married R&B singer Eric Benet back in 2001, and they broke up six months later.

Eric Benet confessed to cheating on her, and he said that he had a sexual addiction, and he sought treatment for this alleged sexual addiction.

Now, Benet is changing his story, and he claims he never was a sex addict. In the latest issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine, an interviewer asked Benet to comment on his sexual addiction, and he said never had a sexual addiction in the first place.

He said the only reason he went to sex addiction counseling was to try to save his marriage with Halle. Basically, Halle wouldn’t stay with him any longer unless he went to counseling, even though he never was an addict. So he went, and of course Halle broke up with him anyway, and he was labeled a sex addict.

Let me say this first, although I don’t support infidelity, I do support the fact that Eric Benet admitted to cheating, and he’s not making excuses for it now.

Too many times, when celebrities make mistakes, they blame it on a condition such as “sexual addiction” like David Duchovny did a few weeks ago.

But Eric Benet, on the other hand, is saying that he just flat out cheated on Halle Berry. He’s not hiding behind the “sexual addiction” excuse.
