Halle Berry accused of child abuse by ex-husband Olivier Martinez
Halle Berry's lawyer denied the allegations and referred to Olivier Martinez's court filing as 'entirely meritless and deliberately misleading.'
According to a new court filing, Halle Berry's ex-husband Olivier Martinez has accused her of abusing their 12-year-old son, Maceo. In the filing, Martinez requested sole custody and a domestic violence restraining order against Berry, claiming that the actor physically abused the child on September 26, by jumping on him, putting her hands around his neck, and choking him.
Martinez alleged that this was not the first instance of Berry's physical abuse towards their son. Berry's lawyer, Marina Beck, vehemently denied these allegations, stating that the filing is "entirely meritless and deliberately misleading." Beck further claimed that there is "voluminous evidence" of Martinez's history of violating court orders and interfering with necessary therapeutic and educational interventions for Maceo.
Despite the allegations, Berry is expected to maintain visitation with her son, with the arrangement to take place on Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
