Halle Berry says she\'s doing OK, despite divorce filing

Halle Berry at the Entertainment Industry Foundation gala Thursday in Beverly Hills.

With her divorce filing still fresh, Halle Berry isn\'t staying out of the public eye like so many celebs would be: She hit the "Spectre" red carpet on Tuesday, a fundraising gala on Wednesday and a celeb-packed video-game premiere Thursday.

"I\'m doing OK. I really am. I keep pushing. I\'m doing OK," she told the show "Extra" in a sit-down at the Entertainment Industry Foundation\'s "Imagine" gala to benefit organizations including a Berry fave, the Jenesse Center, which helps women and children who are victims of domestic violence.

"I\'m really happy to be here," she added, "because when you\'re going through anything in life, when you step outside yourself and you focus on others, that\'s always the best remedy for any situation that you\'d rather not be dealing with."

No, the D-word was not mentioned specifically, but we all know what she\'s talking about. In a volley of filings under aliases and then under their real names, she and third husband Olivier Martinez asked the court the week before Halloween to end their short-lived marriage.

The "Dark Tide" costars were reportedly swarmed by paparazzi while leaving the Tom Bradley International Terminal on Sunday afternoon, when the French actor allegedly shoved a contract airport...

(Speaking of Halloween: Their 2-year-old son, Maceo, would have been a bee, she said, but he has chickenpox. Nahla, her 5-year-old daughter with boyfriend Gabriel Aubrey, was a zombie cheerleader, and mama was a pirate, or, as Nahla said, a sexy pirate. "I\'m like, what do you know about a sexy pirate?," Berry told "Extra.")

The actress, 49, also talked to People at the gala Wednesday in Beverly Hills about why she works with Jenesse (pronounced jeh-neh-see).

"I saw my mother battered and beaten many years of my life and I felt helpless," Berry told the magazine. "And that\'s what connects me to this organization. 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."

The "Extant" star has spoken in the past about getting hit by a famous boyfriend and losing 80% of the hearing in one of her ears. While she hasn\'t named the guy, her first husband, former baseball pro David Justice, made it clear in a Twitter rant this week that it most definitely wasn\'t him.

On Thursday night, Berry kept the party rolling, making an appearance later on the carpet at the launch of the video game Fallout 4.

Also on hand for that one: Chrissy Teigen, whose pregnancy is

making her a tad thick around the middle. But only a tad.
