Halle Berry: I Tried to Kill Myself

Halle Berry once tried to commit suicide when her marriage to former baseball star David Justice fell apart.

In an incredibly revealing interview with Parade magazine, Berry claimed that she tried to use exhaust fumes to take her own life, but thanks to a powerful vision, stopped 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," Berry said. "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. I promised myself I would never be a coward again."

During the interview, Berry also admitted that she underwent sex therapy with ex-husband #2 Eric Benet, an experience that she wishes she never had. "I was putting everyone's needs before mine." She kicked Benet to the curb in 2005.

Now, however, Halle's focus is clear -- the Oscar winner, who's currently dating 31-year-old model Gabriel Aubry, says she wants to be a mom, telling the magazine, "my sights are set on a different chapter of my life, which is motherhood. That's the goal I have very clearly set for myself."

62. Hello, James Stouffer, Paradise Valley, AZ, here, 602.781.2054. Halle Berry, stole my Handspring Visor in 2003. It was in some luggage located in the rear of Focus Features, that is correct, Brokeback Mountain. It was Blue, and had no contacts because it had not been "in sync" with my laptop computer which was stolen by Rudy Hanks Garcia, of Being Alive, (see Stockard Channing, See Aaron Sorkin, See David Bromstad, Color Splash). It was similar to one which was owned by Steve Rule, of i-scraper.com, now buildonline.com, of san mateo, ca (saint mathew). This is verifiable, because, the head librarian at the west hollywood library got an anonymous call about my laptop computer from the above mentioned (being alive). they called my friend in silverlake (c holly's house on Brother's and Sister's). in legal terms, this is called factual basis.....David Bromstad is using this laptop computer and it's contents to facilitate his recent move to San Fransisco.
