Martinez Clarifies Court Exit: Just a Bathroom Break?
22 Oct
Summary
- Olivier Martinez denies storming out of court during custody hearing.
- His lawyer stated they only requested a brief bathroom break.
- The custody dispute involves their 13-year-old son, Maceo.
Olivier Martinez has refuted claims that he stormed out of court during a custody hearing with Halle Berry. His attorney explained that the departure was merely a requested three-minute bathroom break, denying any anger or dissatisfaction with the proceedings.
The custody battle is centered around their 13-year-old son, Maceo. Recent hearings have included testimony from Maceo, his school head, and Halle Berry, who also called her boyfriend Van Hunt and daughter Nahla to support her case.
The dispute intensified when Martinez sought a restraining order, alleging physical and emotional abuse of their son. A temporary order was issued on October 1, 2026, limiting Berry's overnight custody and daytime visits.
Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez married in 2013 and divorced in October 2015. Their divorce proceedings continued until August 2023, resulting in joint custody and an $8,000 monthly child support payment from Berry to Martinez. Co-parenting therapy began in 2024, but disagreements persist.
