So when you can share it somehow, that\u2019s therapeutic.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a catharsis, when you can really share it and someone else can say what their experience has been.

I didn\u2019t talk about it necessarily, very publicly. But I did talk about it. I did not carry the shame. I talked about it with my friends. I talked about it with other women,\u201d Berry answered.<\/p>\n \u201cThere were children involved. So, I didn\u2019t go on a public rampage about things. But I did talk about it and it was very, very helpful,\u201d she explained. <\/p>\n Berry was married to Ben\u00e8t from 2001 to 2005, during which time, Ben\u00e8t confessed that he had cheated. <\/p>\n Berry was married to Ben\u00e8t (both pictured above at the premiere of \u201cThe Brothers\u201d in 2001) from 2001 to 2005.
