Halle Berry Accused of Abusing Son as Olivier Martinez Seeks Sole Custody

Martinez says Berry attacked their son and seeks sole custody as a judge temporarily limits her visitation pending an Oct. 16 hearing.

  • On Thursday, October 1, a judge granted actor Olivier Martinez temporary custody of his 12-year-old son, Maceo Robert Martinez, following allegations that actress Halle Berry choked the boy during a September 26 incident.
  • Years after their 2015 split, the former couple's legal battle resurfaced after finalized their divorce settlement in August 2023 with a joint 50/50 custody arrangement for Maceo.
  • Court filings include alleged text messages where Berry expressed frustration; her attorney, Marina Beck, denied the allegations as "entirely meritless and deliberately misleading," while Martinez's lawyer, Patrick Baghdaserians, stated his client is focused on "protecting their son."
  • Under the new temporary order, Berry is now limited to daytime visits with Maceo twice a week and every other weekend, suspending their previous 50/50 custody arrangement.
  • Both parties are scheduled to return to court on October 16 to address the long-term custody status of Maceo and determine whether the temporary order will be modified or made permanent.
