Yahoo • • entertainment
Key Points:
- A judge has ruled that Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez's 13-year-old son, Maceo, can testify in court, but only regarding Martinez's request for a restraining order.
- Martinez accuses Berry of physically abusing Maceo during an argument, allegations which Berry denies, claiming Martinez has influenced their son’s testimony.
- Berry opposes Maceo testifying, describing him as "coached and manipulated," and urges the court to consider statements from other family members instead.
- Martinez argues that Maceo should be allowed to share his own experience to ensure his voice is heard and to encourage reporting of any future issues.
- The custody battle continues with Martinez seeking sole custody and a restraining order, while Berry's visitation rights have been temporarily restricted under a prior court order.
