I recently received an email from Alexis Collado, Publicist for PARADE on the story that they ran on Halle Berry in which Halle spoke of a suicide attempt over 10 years ago. Halle has publicly voiced anger over PARADE’s mention of the suicide attempt and Miss Collado emailed me the following statement:

Please take a look at PARADE magazine’s response to some of the recent remarks that Halle Berry has made in the press about her 4/1/07 profile in PARADE.

“All of the quotes in the April 1 PARADE profile on Halle Berry came from a candid sit-down interview between Ms. Berry and PARADE writer Emily Listfield on January 25, 2007. Ms. Berry talked very freely (on tape) about the challenges she has faced in her life, including her failed marriages and suicide attempt. It is unfortunate that Ms. Berry has chosen to respond to media interest by backing away from what she originally told PARADE. Anyone who actually read the article is sure to see it as a very positive profile of a strong woman who has overcome many challenges in her life and is now on a clear path to happiness.”

Any questions, please let me know.

So there you have it, folks.
