Overview
- On May 28 Berry appeared on Today with Jenna and Sheinelle and praised Gayle King for speaking publicly about discovering a decades‑old affair, saying she still remembers “every detail” of her own experience.
- Berry recalled that Eric Benét publicly apologized in 2002 and entered a 35‑day sex‑addict rehabilitation program, and that he later denied having sexual intercourse during their marriage before they divorced in 2005.
- Gayle King recently told the Call Her Daddy podcast she discovered her then‑husband William Bumpus cheating in 1990, and Bumpus issued a public apology that King said she was surprised by but appreciated.
- The story shows how podcasts and morning shows are reopening old personal scandals, giving survivors space to describe lasting emotional effects and prompting renewed public statements from former partners.
- This renewed public conversation may lead other people to speak about past betrayals and could prompt follow‑up interviews or statements from the men involved, which outlets and audiences are likely to track next.
