Halle Berry Steps Out Amid Abuse Claims
18 Oct
Summary
- Halle Berry was seen with fiancé Van Hunt before a custody hearing.
- Ex Olivier Martinez accused Berry of abusing their son, Maceo.
- Berry denies abuse, stating she is a domestic violence victim.
Halle Berry made a rare public appearance with her fiancé, Van Hunt, as she awaits a court hearing regarding custody of their 13-year-old son, Maceo. This outing comes amid serious accusations from her ex-partner, Olivier Martinez.
Martinez alleged in court filings that Berry has committed abuse against Maceo over the past few years, detailing an incident on September 26 where she allegedly choked their son. He also filed for a restraining order against Berry, which was granted, restricting contact with their child.
Berry has firmly denied all allegations of abuse. In a sworn declaration, she stated she has never harmed Maceo and that she herself is a victim of domestic violence. The actress has since been granted permission for unsupervised visits with Maceo.
The court is set to reconsider the custody agreement from their August 2023 divorce, which stipulated 50/50 joint custody.
