Halle Berry Faces Disturbing Allegations from Ex-Husband
1 Oct
Summary
- Olivier Martinez alleges Halle Berry choked their son, Maceo.
- Martinez seeks sole custody due to alleged child abuse incidents.
- Berry and Martinez previously agreed to co-parenting therapy.
Olivier Martinez has filed for sole custody of his 12-year-old son, Maceo, with ex-wife Halle Berry. Court documents reveal Martinez obtained a temporary restraining order against Berry, citing alleged physical abuse of their child. He claims Berry choked Maceo on September 26, 2026, and further alleges a history of abuse spanning several years.
Martinez's filing details multiple alleged incidents of physical and emotional abuse directed at both Maceo and himself by Berry. This legal action follows the couple's finalized divorce in 2023, which included joint legal custody and specific child support arrangements. Notably, Berry was ordered to pay $8,000 monthly, plus a percentage of income over $2 million, and cover educational expenses.
Previously, in May 2024, Berry and Martinez had agreed to mandatory co-parenting therapy to resolve conflicts. Despite these efforts, a source indicated they possess differing parenting styles, making co-parenting challenging. Berry is also mother to daughter Nahla, 18, from a previous relationship.
