Halle Berry is just coming off her third divorce, after her marriage to Olivier Martinez, which finally looked like it was the real deal- spectacularly imploded.

The actress has come in for some criticism from tabloids, with many speculating as to why she cannot seem to keep a marriage.

The actress was making an appearance at a charity event for domestic violence prevention organisation Jenesse Center. Speaking on reports swirling around her divorce, the 49 year old actress said she’s really doing well.

“I’m doing okay, I really am. I keep pushing and I’m really happy to be here,”she told Extra

The actress also noted that attending charity events such as the one she was at, was a great way to deal with difficult situations in your own life.

“Whenever you’re going through anything in life, when you step outside yourself and focus on others, that’s always the best remedy for any situation that you’d rather not be dealing with,” Berry said.

The actress added that having grown up around domestic violence abuse herself, she sees one of her purposes as helping others, especially women who go through that.

“I saw my mother battered and beaten many years of my life and I felt helpless,” she said.

“And that’s what connects me to this organisation. I have an understanding, a knowing. I feel like I have something that I can impart to these women. It seems like I’ve overcome it, but I really haven’t.

“In the quiet of my mind, I still struggle. So while I’m helping these women, I’m helping myself through it, too. And that’s largely why I’m here.”
