WHY CAMERON TURNED HER BACK ON HOLLYWOOD!

After years of secret turmoil, the actress chose love and family over Tinseltown fame

Despite enjoying years of career highs and blockbuster successes, actress Cameron Diaz left Hollywood the same way she fell into it… in a flash!

The former red carpet party queen, known for dating some of Hollywood’s hottest heartthrobs – Justin Timberlake, Jared Leto, Bradley Cooper and Jude Law – turned her back on Tinseltown a few years ago, retiring from the big screen and choosing love and happiness with her husband, rocker Benji Madden, 41, and their daughter Raddix, eight months.

Now insiders close to the 48-year-old tell Woman’s Day the San Diego-born star’s decision to ditch the bright lights of Hollywood came as no surprise to those who know her, after years of secret turmoil and struggles led the actress to grow “disenfranchised” with the very same system that made her a household name and worth an eye-watering $195 million.
