Halle Berry has slammed her ex-husband Eric Benét over his comments about being a sex addict.
During Monday’s episode of Dax Shepard’s podcast, she said, “I had one husband who claimed he was a sex addict, But I don’t f–ing believe that s–t.”
Although the Oscar winner didn’t mention the singer-songwriter by name, it was widely reported that he went to rehab for sex addiction in 2002.
The couple tied the knot in 2001 after two years of dating, but they separated by 2003.
“Eric and I have had marital problems for some time now and have tried to work things out together,” Berry said at the time.
“However, at this point, I feel we need time apart to reevaluate our union. We ask that you respect our privacy as we are going through this emotional time.”
There were widespread rumors that Benét had cheated on Berry during their marriage due to his alleged sex addiction.
However, Benét, responded to these claims in a 2004 interview.
“I am not a sex addict, I am a person who … through a series of emotional events, troubles, challenges, made some really, really stupid, painful mistakes”, he said.
