Halle Berry's ex-husband Eric Benet comes out of the closet and dishes on his wardrobe during NY Fashion Week. Eric Benet also talks about his new love, Manuela, making love and his Grammy Award nominated album called "Love and Life". Was Eric Benet ever a sex addict? There were claims that Eric Benet was a sex addict who checked into a clinic to get help for his cheating ways. During the promo tour for his new album Benet denied that he was ever a sex addict and said that he only pretended to get help to save his marriage. We don't really buy this story but whatever Eric wants to say is not going to help him sell records. Honestly, we are down for Halle Berry and the sisterhood. If Eric Benet was selling bean pies on a street corner in Harlem no one would buy them because he dogged the most beautiful Black woman on the planet. This is a fact. Our advice to Halle Berry is that we love you girl, but you have to get a better gig than taking care of men who take advantage of you. Halle should get a humanitarian cause or charity to be the spokesperson for instead of talking about the intensity of her orgasms in interviews and how suicidal she gets after bad relationships fail. Angelina Jolie transformed herself into Mother Theresa and is the UN Ambassador. We aso offer Halle career advice to avoid making bad movies like Catwoman or Perfect Stranger or your fan base is going to be gone too. We think it's also very sad that Eric Benet's daughter India has not seen Halle in years since the couple has split. Halle was India's mother and adopted her during her marriage with Eric Benet. Here are some details of the ugly divorce.
A source close to Berry says, "Eric has demanded insane amounts of money to maintain his lifestyle." He is even going so far to use his daughter, India, to get more money. The source adds, "He’s telling Halle that India, too, is starting to suffer because she was taken out of that lifestyle so abruptly." Berry became very close to India, whose biological mother died in a car accident when she was a toddler, after she began dating Benet. Berry has remained close with India despite the impending divorce saying, "I’m all she’s got as far as a mother goes. It feels as if she is my own; she calls me Mommy."
Benet has threatened Berry by limiting her visitation with India if she doesn’t pay more money. Sources say that Berry has given in repeatedly to Benet’s "scare tactics" but she has had enough. Especially since, in recent weeks, his demands have spun out of control. On June 1, Benet filed papers in Los Angeles Superior Court questioning the validity of his prenuptial agreement. Sources close to Berry say that she hopes a fair-minded judge can see through his tactics and not award him any money. Too bad that the one who will probably suffer the most is India. source
We must admit, ever since Halle Berry showed up at last year's Razzies to collect her worst actress award for Catwoman, she's occupied a place in the empty cavity where our hearts should be. So when we heard she had hitched her love train to the caboose of male model du moment Gabriel Aubry, we had mixed feelings: Were we glad she had finally moved past her two-timing, "sex addict" ex-husband Eric Benet? Of course. But should she have fallen for South Beach's sweetest, chewiest piece of gummy-boy man-candy? According to Page Six, probably not: THE women of South Beach have two words for Halle Berry: Watch out! Berry's new man, Versace model Gabriel Aubry, is so popular with the opposite sex, said our source, "he makes [Berry's ex] Eric Benet look tame." Benet is a self-confessed sex addict. While Berry went to pal Angela Bassett's baby shower last weekend, Aubry was in Miami where he drove his vintage Camaro convertible and "chased young women" around the clock. A source said, "He wants to be famous, and he will use Halle to get there. He has a place on the beach and he pretty much chases whatever is around." source
Was Eric Benét Ever a Sex Addict?
When we spotted musician Eric Benet sitting in the front row at Carlos Campos last night, it took us a minute to register why we recognized him: He's Halle Berry's sex-addicted former husband! Yes, we know he also did some other stuff like make records, but let's face it, that's what he's best known for. The pair split in 2003 after rumors surfaced that Benet cheated on his hot wife; he later announced that he was addicted to humping. When the fashion show was over, we marched right up to Benet. We knew what we had to do. (No, not that. God! Do we seem like that type of girl? Actually, don't answer that.) Benet stood quite close and kept one hand on our arm the entire time as he talked about the show: "The guys were these blond, Aryan, chiseled-looking cats and he balanced it nice with the Nubian females," he murmured. "It was hot. I liked it." Not to break the mood or anything, we said awkwardly, but how about David Duchovny's recent revelation that he's in rehab for sex addiction? Benet didn't know Duchovny had sought treatment, but wished him well. "I hope he finds peace and help and whatever he's dealing with," Benet said. "Sex addiction is a real thing, you know. In retrospect, it's not what I would label my situation." Hold on! If he wasn't addicted to sex, how does he explain his former cheating ways? "Making some stupid-ass, stupid-ass mistakes," he said, shaking his head. Yep, that's exactly what we'd call getting dumped by Halle Berry, too.source
How did Eric Benét start dating Prince's ex-wife Manuela?
Halle Berry's ex husband, Eric Benet, only has nice things to say about her. "From the pictures, she looks great," Benet, 41, tells Usmagazine.com. "I haven't spoken to her – it's been a few years now – but I'm happy for her." Check out photos of Halle Berry and other stars' post-baby bods. Benet and Berry, 41, split in 2004 after three years of marriage. Benet hasn't seen Berry's four-month-old daughter, Nahla, (with model beau Gabriel Aubry, 32) yet, but says, "How could the baby not look good?" The singer has been focusing on his new album, which will feature the woman with whom he has "an amazing relationship”: 16-year-old daughter, India. "There's a song on my record called, 'Still I believe,' where India sings background," Benet tells Us. "India is quite the producer and songwriter herself. She has a beautiful voice and she plays guitar." source
