Halle Berry's ex, granted temporary restraining order, claims she abused their son

Key Points:

• Olivier Martinez obtained a temporary restraining order against Halle Berry, alleging she physically and emotionally abused their 12-year-old son, Maceo, including choking him during a recent incident.
• Berry's attorney denied the allegations, calling them "entirely meritless and deliberately misleading," and highlighted Martinez's history of violating court orders and interfering with their son's therapeutic and educational needs.
• Under the restraining order, Berry must stay 100 yards away from Martinez and can only see Maceo during limited court-ordered visitations until an October hearing; both parents are required to attend confidential mediation regarding custody.
• The couple finalized their divorce in 2023 after splitting in 2015, with an agreement outlining child support, custody arrangements, and responsibilities for Maceo's education and healthcare.
• This restraining order petition follows Berry's earlier 2022 request for sole custody, citing Martinez’s disruptive behavior affecting their son's well-being and relationship with Berry.
