This A-list actress would have you believe she's a modern woman, but she's old fashioned in one way: she doesn't want anyone to know she was a battered wife. She THOUGHT she was madly in love with her first husband but not long after they wed, she started cheating. He was suspicious and accused her and they had nasty fights. She hid her bruises from her family and friends. Finally he got PROOF of her indiscretion and the marriage imploded with one last pummeling. She feels guilty because she was a cheater and embarrassed because she endured the beatings, so she'll never talk about it.

Halle Berry...She got her inspiration for Monsters Ball that way.

i figured halle berry...what was that baseball player she was married to? i thought he knocked her about and that ended the marriage...maybe we didn't get the total truth?

MEG RYAN. She's A-List...at least she used to be. Until she cheated with RUSSELL CROWE in their movie, PROOF OF LIFE. Your PROOF gave it away Janet!

Madonna isn't A-list

Meg cheated on that dude after a long marriage. It's neither Halle or Meg. Whoever this chick is she's gotta stop slutting around

ANGELINA JOLIE, HER FIRST HUSBAND JONNY MILLER HAS AN ANGER MGT. PROBLEM, BIG TIME.

Not Meg, she and Dennis were married several years. Not Berry. EVERYONE knows her first spouse hit her because she blabbed. Hatcher and MaDonna are not A-List either is Lopez.

Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. She isn't A list anymore, but she was, and it was when she did 'PROOF of Life' with Russell Crowe that she a) cheated, and b) her marriage died. I read rumors of her cheating ages ago, and Dennis Quaid is just creepy.

The cheating wife may be?

Hillary Swank?????

Is there a prize?

I can't believe nobody guessed Reese Witherspoon. That's who jumped RIGHT into my head. I think Halle's admitted being abused, hasn't she?

"first husband" so she's gotten married again???

Reese Witherspoon. Ryan looks like a wife-beater.

It's MEG I tell you. Janet's PROOF gives it away.

Jennifer Garner

Is Jennifer Garner really AList? I mean come on.......I don't imagine Lyle Lovett a wife beater but.....Meg...yeah I can see it

Halle Berry has been very open about the abuse she's endured at the hands of past boyfriends, so why the hell would she be embarrased for someone to know her husband hit her? And she certainly doesn't strike me as the cheating type.

And if Madonna, Lopez and Terri Hatcher aren't A-List, then I don't know who the hell is? Only A-Listers generate their press, interest and incomes!!! Hacks don't get Vanity Fair or Vogue covers.

What is it about Meg Ryan that makes her such a modern woman? As I recall, her entire image was very "girl next door" at her peak. For this reason, it couldn't possibly be her.

Nicole Kidman!!!!

Gossiping about abuse, regardless of whether someone was cheating, is disgusting.

I think it could be Kate Hudson.

Demi Moore?

kim basinger ?

While I admit that Terri is not A-list, she has said that her husband did not have sex with her more than a couple of time during the marriage. That would make anyone cheat... An insecure husband not able to get it up would beat a wife who's getting it elsewhere...

didn't nicole kidman do the play proof? it's also implied that the actress also has married again (first husband).

Halle Berry. She has admitted to being deaf in one ear because she was beaten by one of her exes. David Justice is the rumored culprit, her first husband.

I also think this is Jennifer Garner.

Can't believe you all missed it.

Remember When?

A 2001 Hollywood Whodunit: This young man comes from Hollywood royalty - both parents are famous and talented. He's gay but his family learned to accept his sexuality. But they'd never approve of his foolish and risky behavior if they knew what he's been up to. He frequents a West Hollywood supermarket popular with gay men and cruises the aisles looking for quickies. Several times a week he visits the store and scores almost every time, using the store's bathroom for his sexual adventures. Employees know what he's up to, but since his family owns stock in the chain, they're afraid to do anything about it.
