HALLE'S CHEATING HUBBY DOUBLED UP WITH ME
From the News of the World

The woman who bedded Bond beauty Halle Berry's kinky husband has finally laid bare their secret life of outrageous sex.

Eric Benet wasn't satified with one of the most beautiful pin-ups in the world, so he found willing Julia Riley—virtually a double of his wife —to fulfil his urges.

Rampant Julia admitted: "It got into every place imaginable. We'd rub it on when we were naked and lick it off each other. Eric cheated on Halle with me when they were engaged and even while they were married.

"Just days before Halle stood up and collected her Oscar her husband was in bed with me. She may be a star but she doesn't know how to keep her man. I give their marriage a year at the most."

Halle, 33, became the sex icon of 2002 when she emerged from the sea in a bikini with a knife strapped to her thigh in new 007 hit Die Another Day. But Julia, also 33, insisted: "Eric told me that when it came to getting between the sheets at home with her husband she didn't want to know. When it happened, it was always very quick.

Halle, who divorced her first husband, basketball star David Justice, for his infidelity, was bereft when she discovered Benet, 35, was cheating too. This summer she reportedly ordered him into Arizona's Meadows clinic to get treatment for sex addiction.

Unable to resist a further dig, Julia sneered: "Eric said Halle was very soft and he preferred my body. I'm very muscular. He also said I have a nicer butt and nicer breasts."

Julia and Benet, who both come from the city of Milwaukee in Wisconsin, started their relationship in 1995 and initially drifted apart two years later.

But in 1999, when the world knew Benet was dating Flintstones and X-Men star Halle, he made a sneaky phone call to Julia when he was back in Milwaukee—then called round to see her. "I know he and Halle were together at the time because he got a phone call from her," she said. "I was told to be quiet.

"That night we had sex. We went back to his room and he did this dance I asked him to do. I'd lie on the bed and he'd do a male stripper thing."

In 2000 Eric and Halle became engaged and he lived in the lap of luxury in her Los Angeles mansion.

By now Julia was herself married but she and Benet continued to keep their affair simmering with a string of sexy e-mails and phone calls.

She revealed: "In his e-mails he'd say things like, ‘I miss your breasts, what are you wearing?' He also say, ‘I miss your big t**s' then ask, ‘Are you wearing my favourite panties?'

"I'd play along with it. I didn't care.

"Once he called me and said, ‘Can you send me some pictures?' So I did. I was naked and I sat in front of the camera." In January 2001, Benet managed to quell his apparent unhappiness just long enough to marry multi-millionairess Halle. But even on their wedding day he found time to ring Julia. "He told me he had to be quiet because everybody was downstairs, including Halle," she said. "Just before he rang off he told me he loved me."

In March this year, Halle, applauded around the world for her breathtaking performance in Monster's Ball, was gearing up for the greatest triumph of her life—the first black screen star to win a Best Actress Oscar.

It was a time to prepare for the awards ceremony with her family around her. But with less than a week to go, skulking Benet was back in Milwaukee, where he still had an apartment.

"When I went over to visit him he told me that he and Halle weren't having sex," said Julia.

"We undressed each other then had oral sex. He said it had been at least a month since he'd had sex with Halle and my God he was very ready. But it wasn't quick. We carried on for maybe 40 minutes."

Benet is reported to have had affairs with at least 10 other women besides Julia.

"I knew he wasn't faithful to me," she said, "and I'm sure he'll do it again.

I don't think Eric has the potential to be honest with anybody."
