People react to divorce in different ways, depending on the circumstances. But at least those of us who aren't famous don't have to watch the breakup – and its fallout -- play out publicly. Regular people have to deal with the judgment of their families and friends, which is bad enough. But celebrities have the unfortunate task of seeing their splits being judged by millions of people. Here are a few ways celebrities have dealt with their divorces and the ensuing publicity. Russell Brand and Katy Perry were married for a scant two years when they decided to call it quits, but the breakup – via text if you believe her side of the story – took a major toll on the "Roar" singer. Recently, she told Marie Claire magazine, “There were two weeks of my life after I found out the truth of my marriage where I was like, ‘Okay. Alright. I can’t feel this. This is too intense right now.’ I was, like, just eating Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and drinking, and that’s it..."

Obviously, she's recovered and is flourishing with new love John Mayer, but that was quite a tailspin. Tom Cruise's marriage to Katie Holmes was as high-profile as their divorce – an indirect result of Cruise's involvement in Scientology, he admitted in a libel lawsuit deposition. Holmes spent the aftermath of the split in the spotlight with daughter Suri and has remained mostly tight-lipped about the divorce, telling Elle she was enjoying just being herself again. "He has been Tom Cruise for 30 years...I know who I am and where I am and where I want to go, so I want to focus on that. I'm starting to come into my own. It's like a new phase." Bethenny Frankel has found solace in the daughter she shares with her ex, Jason Hoppy, but still described divorce as "excruciating." She and Hoppy continue to have their differences but somehow try to keep their daughter, Bryn, at the forefront of the process. In early 2013, she told E! News, "I have a great life, I have a great daughter, I have good days and bad days." Celebrities... just like us!
