Key Points:
- Halle Berry denies allegations made by ex-husband Olivier Martinez that she physically abused their 13-year-old son, Maceo, calling the claims false and suggesting Maceo has been manipulated by Martinez.
- Berry described the September 26 incident as playful roughhousing that escalated when Maceo became upset and physically aggressive toward her, leading to her fiancé intervening.
- Martinez has filed for sole custody of Maceo and requested a temporary restraining order against Berry, while Berry argues that testifying in court could harm Maceo due to his neurodivergence.
- Berry and Martinez had previously agreed to joint custody in 2023, and Berry’s daughter Nahla supports her, stating she has never witnessed any abusive behavior by Berry toward Maceo.
- The situation remains a legal dispute, with Berry emphasizing her concern for Maceo’s well-being amid the ongoing conflict.
