A-list celebrities and everyday people alike suffer from herpes, but few openly talk about it. Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt is one of them. In 2013, she admitted to being a carrier while promoting her latest film The Client List—about a woman who runs a brothel that caters to clients with secret fetishes—during an interview with The Sun.
James Earl Jones
Yes, that James Earl Jones. Though it’s not widely known, America’s favorite voice actor has been living with herpes for over 30 years. He contracted it from his wife during an acrimonious separation in 1962 and has suffered from outbreaks ever since.
Natalie Imbruglia
Imbruglia is best known for her hit single Torn, which earned her an MTV Music Award. But before she had a record deal, she struggled with herpes—an illness that has affected an estimated 65 million Americans. After rumors of Imbruglia’s condition went public, she told Entertainment Weekly, I never spoke about it because I thought people would judge me. It felt like something I couldn’t control…I was scared people would reject me.
Bill Cosby
is an example of a celebrity you won’t believe has herpes. Despite being married to his wife Camille for nearly 50 years, Cosby is currently involved in a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault. According to former Temple University employee Andrea Constand, he drugged and sexually assaulted her in 2004 at his home outside Philadelphia. Two years later, she came forward with a civil suit against him but it was settled out of court for undisclosed amount as there was no criminal case against Cosby.
Don King
A number of celebrities have been diagnosed with herpes, including boxing promoter Don King. He first told Oprah Winfrey that he had contracted HSV-1 on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2007. On Larry King Live he said his initial symptoms were mistaken for insect bites when they first appeared. I was biting my nails and developed these bumps. They actually thought I had scabies or lice, he said.
Ice Cube
rapper and actor Ice Cube, who’s still dealing with herpes 20 years after contracting it from his wife. In a recent interview with The Breakfast Club radio show, he was asked about Kim Kardashian’s ongoing struggle with herpes in her marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries: [Kardashian] has got to be careful, you know? It could happen again. Cube said that if he had found out his wife had an STD before they married, it would have ended their relationship immediately.
