From a survey conducted in 2001, amongst working people, it emerged that both men and women are not only susceptible to infidelity affairs but are actually involved at varied degrees. In the survey, 15% of men were found to have secret affairs with women following closely behind at 10%. Interestingly, women were found to be the most forgiving when it comes to infidelity issues. This is contrary to men who emerged as the most unforgiving, ready to file for divorce on discovering that their wives are cheating on them. The same study was extended to college students, which surprisingly, turned the same results.

For reasons why both cheat on their spouses, the result was the same: love, affection and attention. Could be the three fundamental relationship issues that have driven many female celebrities to indulge in varied affairs despite the fact that some of them are married? Perhaps they are. The celebrity field is very tempting in terms of affairs and below are just some of the female celebrities who seem to have been bitten by cheating bug and have gone a head to have many affairs, with some cases ending in bitter divorce.

•Whoopi Goldberg – Whoopi publicly admitted that she cheated at least six times when she was married. On being interviewed to elaborate further, she replied ‘Yes, I screwed around. Yes, while I was married. I did it five or six times, I did those mistakes’. Is screwing around five to six times while married and with different men for that matter something you can say casually? In the celebrity world, perhaps.
