AI GeneratedHalle Berry and ex-husband Olivier Martinez are engaged in a bitter custody battle over their son, Maceo. Martinez alleges Berry physically abused their son, while Berry denies the claims and seeks to restore their 50-50 custody arrangement. Recent court testimonies from Berry's daughter and fiancé have supported her, contradicting the abuse and racial insensitivity allegations.
Halle Berry is going head-to-head in court
with her ex-husband, Olivier Martinez.
He claims she choked their 13-year-old son during
an argument over a video game, and she denies it.
Amid the courtroom drama,
Berry seemingly shared a pointed Instagram post that read,
If kids disrespect their mom,
the root cause often traces back to their relationship with the father.
However, a source told TMZ that Berry's account may have been hacked,
and the post has been deleted.
Oof. We're now in week two of this bitter custody battle,
and Page Six has everything you need to know right here.
Halle Berry's daughter Nala Aubrey took
the stand virtually Monday, October 26.
The teen is going to college out east,
and her testimony was behind closed doors.
However, in court docs previously obtained by Page Six,
she defended her mom as a loving and devoted parent,
who can be strict when necessary.
I have never seen my mom hit, slap, choke,
grab, or physically abuse Maceo in any way.
I have never seen my mom place her hands around Maceo's neck,
put him in a chokehold, restrict his breathing,
or engage in any conduct remotely resembling
the allegations that have been made against her.
Nala, whose father is Canadian model Gabriel Aubrey,
also hit back on another allegation,
saying she never heard racially insensitive
or racially charged comments.
My mom is biracial, I am biracial, and Maceo is biracial.
Throughout my life, my mom taught both of us to embrace who we are,
appreciate our differences, and respect people from all backgrounds.
Halle Berry's fiancé, Van Hun,
also returned to the stand this week for cross-examination.
Last week, Berry and Martinez testified, as did their son Maceo,
who testified for nearly four hours.
His parents have been butting heads
over custody since their 2015 divorce.
Then it all blew up last month.
Martinez was temporarily granted primary custody
of Macio over the abuse claims.
He's seeking a domestic violence restraining order and sole custody.
As for Berry, she asked the judge to dismiss the restraining order
and lift temporary restrictions
on her time with her son.
She's also seeking sole legal custody
and a return to their 50-50 physical custody arrangement.
A ruling is expected any day now,
so whose side are you on in this messy legal battle?
