While she didn't mention her ongoing divorce, the actress told co-hosts Adrienne Houghton, Loni Love, and Garcelle Beauvais that she needed to "take a beat" for herself and even stopped drinking in April.

"It was like, OK, I'm going to take a beat for myself. I stopped drinking back in April," Good said.

She continued, "I think end of August, I think it was? I wanted to just really focus on therapy and dive into some things that I experienced in the past that I haven't spoken about publicly yet and one day I will whenever I feel god's called me to it."

The "Deception" star added, "But I was like, I really need to deal with these things and just sit down and dig in and be really intentional about this next season and this next act of my life," before saying that her faith is "everything" for her.

Last month, Franklin filed for divorce from Good, as reported by The Blast. The former couple split after nine years of marriage. They met in 2011 while working on the film "Jumping the Broom," got engaged in May 2012, and tied the knot the following month. The two have no children together.
