Halle Berry Admits to Suicide Attempt

Actress Halle Berry tried to commit suicide over her failed first marriage, she reveals in an upcoming interview.

Berry, 40, admits to Parade magazine that she tried to gas herself when her fiery union to Atlanta Braves baseball star David Justice collapsed, but pulled out at the last minute.

“I was sitting in my car, and I knew the gas was coming when I had an image of my mother finding me,” she tells the magazine.

The image of her stoic mother Judith, now 67, was enough to snap the blues out of Berry. “She sacrificed so much for her children, and to end my life would be an incredibly selfish thing to do. It was all about a relationship. My sense of worth was so low,” Berry says. “I promised myself I would never be a coward again.”

The actress also describes her subsequent marriage, to singer Eric Benet, as “really horrific … We were in sex rehab after one year. I wish I had left then, but I was putting everyone’s needs before mine,” says the Oscar winner, who next appears on-screen with Bruce Willis in the thriller Perfect Stranger.

Twice divorced Berry is now dating model Gabriel Aubry, after meeting the 31-year-old in Nov. 2005 during a Versace advertising shoot. Three months later they went public as a couple. Twice bitten, Berry rules out a third marriage.

“I will never, never get married again,” she told InStyle recently.

But she tells Parade she is determined to be a mother. “I’ve accomplished things I never thought I would,” she says. “Now my sights are set on a different chapter in my life, which is motherhood. That’s the goal I have very clearly set for myself.”

It’s so refreshing to see these two! Much easier on the eyes than NK & KU (though the latter, in the singular is eye candy). I’m addicted to you, JJ. Great stuff!

cute couple

I love halle berry but if you look closely on the second picture on the post, the picture plus her outfit ages her, I thought wow is that really her, the color of her outfit washes her out

Thanks JJ for the daily posts. Nice pix. Ugly dress. With all of daily pix this is starting to look like X17 with the multiple posts of the couple like from a few months ago–no offense. Do like seeing pix of them together traveling in Europe. Guess we will have to check in later today or tomorrow to see if there pix of them eating out or shopping in Germany.

That suit is sooo tight, I’m surprised she can breathe. Hang on - what happened to the brooch??

give it a rest…let them have fun while it lasts…dress better open…still needs to work with the hair…tomorrow the German leg of the JJ Halle & Boo promo tour.

She’s stunning, but sometimes curiously bland looking at the same time, and that outfit and wig ages her, I swear I thought the second pic was Sally Field.

They simply must procreate.
And she does not look old. Americans should appreciate fully mature women instead of being youth-obsessed. The French are quite good at that.

Yeah, this couple is simply HOT HOT HOT

I don’t really think she is all that attractive but the both of them together are very fine.
