Watch this video on YouTube ↗
While comedian D.L. Hughley says he didn't feel guilty about his infidelity, "you get tired of hurting people."

"You get tired of disappointing yourself, you get tired of remembering lies," he told Geoff Bennett.

As he tries to make amends, he says accountability is "more than just saying 'I'm sorry,' it's trying to be a different human being."

In his new memoir, "Charlie's Boy," Hughley offers a candid look at fatherhood, family trauma and the pitfalls of fame.

He spoke with Bennett for the latest episode of the PBS News podcast, Settle In, to discuss his memoir and more.
