12 Celebrities Who Cheated and Copped to It
When Jessica Simpson finally lost her virginity, it opened the flood gates to something much more sinful: an emotional affair with Johnny Knoxville.
Eric Benet
He played the sex addiction card to placate his mother-in-law, but later revealed it was all part of his master plan: “Going into rehab was presented to me by her mother that in order for the marriage to have a shot, this is what you need to do. But I’m not a sex addict.”
Jesse James
He was very defensive of his right to cheat on Sandra Bullock, saying, “Yeah, I did cheat on my wife, yeah… ‘Oh, well, you cheated on Sandra Bullock.’ That’s the world’s easiest comeback. In general, both women and men cheat. It’s part of life.”
Jay-Z
He says extreme stress made him do it: “When you go into survival mode, what happens? You shut down all emotions. So even with women, you gonna shut down emotionally. In my case, like, it’s deep. And then all the things happen from there: infidelity.”
Mario Lopez
He cheated at his own bachelor party, but luckily, that’s exactly what needed to happen for him to realize what he wanted deep down: “I figured at that point it was easier to ask for forgiveness. It’s my bachelor party, we were going to have a good time. I finally got the balls to say, ‘Hey, listen I’m not ready for this, I’m sorry.’”
Kristen Stewart
Paparazzi caught her smooching director Rupert Sanders, and she responded by getting all sappy on Instagram: “This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob(ert Pattinson). I love him, I love him, I’m so sorry.”
Usher
He says blabbing about his relationship to another woman constituted infidelity: “I was faithful at heart, but not faithful all the way. Even having a conversation with another woman, period, about matters of your relationship or emotions is, in my opinion, not being faithful.”
Hugh Grant
He didn’t have much of a choice but to come clean after he was arrested for having sex in public with a sex worker: “Last night I did something completely insane. I have hurt people I love and embarrassed people I work with. For both things I am more sorry than I can ever possibly say.”
Offset
After Cardi B publicly announced their divorce, he responded with a public video: “I am sorry for what I have done to you. I didn’t fuck that girl, but I was entertaining it, you know what I’m saying?” Against all odds, it worked, and they called off their divorce.
Tristan Thompson
It came out that he fathered a child with another woman while he was dating Khloe Kardashian, and he tried to redeem himself via Instagram post: “Now that paternity has been established, I look forward to amicably raising our son. Khloé, you don’t deserve this. I have the utmost respect for you. Regardless of what you may think.”
Lamar Odom
When asked to pinpoint where his marriage to Khloe Kardashian went wrong, he said, “If there is one thing I regret when I was married, it was having multiple affairs with different women. That wasn’t the stand-up thing to do. I wish I could have kept my dick in my pants.”
Kris Jenner
We were this close to living in a Kardashian-less timeline, were it not for Jenner’s infidelity. She says her first boyfriend, Cesar, traveled for work, and that was when she started hooking up with Robert Kardashian. She later went and cheated on Rob, with a pro soccer player: “I had an affair, and my biggest regret was the fact that it broke up my family.” If only.
Jessica Simpson
She chose not to have sex before her marriage to Nick Lachey, which somehow led her to the conclusion that… she was in love with Johnny Knoxville: “After I actually had sex, I understood that the emotional part was what mattered. Johnny and I had that, which seemed far more of a betrayal to my marriage than sex.”
