An inspiring true story about discovering a new normal when the familiar world falls apart.
Meadows Behavioral Healthcare and Oscar-winning director/producer Steven Soderbergh hosted a special screening of Accidentally Brave in New York City on April 16, 2024 at the Directors Guild of America. With 375+ attendees, this event also featured a post-screening discussion facilitated by Meadows Senior Fellow Stefanie Carnes, PhD, and featuring Maddie Corman, Jason Alexander, and certified sex addiction therapists and licensed clinical social workers Gary Katz and Jen Acker.

What do you do when your husband of two decades and the father of your three children is suddenly revealed to have a shameful and disturbing secret? Accidentally Brave, produced by Oscar winner Steven Soderbergh and directed by Kristin Hanggi, is Maddie Corman’s courageous, unflinchingly honest story of what happens when a familiar world falls apart. Based upon her one-woman show of the same name, and with raw vulnerability and unexpected humor, Corman delivers a moving tale of perseverance and hope as the unthinkable tests her marriage, family, and values.
Simultaneously a confession, a sharing of her story, and an examination of what it means to navigate a world without certainty, Corman goes beyond the salacious headlines to recount a story that could easily have destroyed her, revealing how, despite the odds, she and her husband have managed to stay together, growing, healing, and moving forward.
Maddie Corman joined Dominic Lawson, host of the Beyond Theory podcast, and gave us a behind-the-scenes look into the story and inspiration for her film Accidentally Brave. Throughout their conversation, Maddie shares her journey of perseverance, the steps she and her husband took toward healing, and how she hopes their story will help those navigating similar struggles.
I truly meant for this piece to be something that heals and helps and provides some kind of service. It comes from a place of deep pain and unimaginable loneliness and a burning desire to shine a light on the secrets that keep us sick and tell the stories that are scary to tell and to remind one another of the grace that can sneak in when one’s heart is cracked open.
Sex and porn addiction are topics that make people uncomfortable. We don’t want to talk about them — until we’re forced to. When they come to light, devastated couples and individuals turn to clinicians and sex addiction experts like those at Meadows Behavioral Healthcare to help unravel how they got here and create a road map for moving forward. Meadows Behavioral Healthcare is grateful that we can highlight Maddie Corman’s journey, we’re excited by the honest conversation made possible by Accidentally Brave, and we’re honored to help bring this film to audiences.
“Maddie is masterful at expressing the devastating impact of betrayal. With her use of side-splitting humor and gut-wrenching honesty, she takes viewers on a journey of trauma, resilience, perseverance, and hope. She is truly a gifted artist and will be an incredible inspiration to partners healing from betrayal.”
For those dealing with their own sex or porn addiction or partners caught in the fallout of a loved one’s issues, help is available in the form of treatment programs, workshops, support groups, books, and certified sex addiction therapists.
To start, I believe that finding a therapist who understands sex addiction and partners is VITAL. I strongly suggest that your husband do his own 12-Step recovery work with SAA or SA or SRA. There is great wisdom and incredible support/community and compassion to be found in those rooms (Zoom included).
“Powerful. Bravura. Humor. Palpable humanity. Maddie Corman gives a riveting performance.” – The New York Times “A truly uplifting experience!” – Broadway World “Run, don’t walk! You will laugh and cry in awe of Maddie’s courage and generosity.” – Debra Messing, Will & Grace “Loved it! Inspired theater. So grateful to Accidentally Brave for making me feel so much.” – Mariska Hargitay, Law & Order: SVU
