Halle Berry is very upset over PARADE Magazine’s recent story of her suicide attempt over 10 years ago. She has very seldom spoken about the time she tried to commit suicide over the end of her first marriage to baseball player David Justice, and it is now making world wide front page news. Berry has said that she hopes that the story in PARADE Magazine will help others who are contemplating suicide. She said:

“It wasn’t my wish to go into all of that again in this time of my life. I talked about it on Larry King Live and Oprah when it was relevant, and I felt like it was important to help other women and share it with them. Back in the day, I did feel empowered when I told that story and I felt, ‘This might help somebody because I survived it and I learned a lot.’ But it’s just not where I am today and I really hate that it’s been presented like it is… I’m in such a great time in my life right now it wouldn’t be my wish to really revisit that period, but this outlet did and made it seem as if it were current again. Because I have a movie out some magazine has sensationalized some old material and it’s not something that I want to talk about. It’s 10 years old and I’m so past it.”

I don’t think that it was right that PARADE Magazine had brought up the story of Halle’s suicide attempt, and in fact, I myself had no idea that this had even happened in her life, but I would think that Halle would have received a copy of the story before it was printed, don’t you think? And then I think at that point she would have been able to say, no, I don’t want that printed…yada yada yada..
