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

Martinez says Berry choked their son and caused emotional distress, while her lawyer calls the allegations meritless and says he violated court orders.

  • On Sept. 26, Olivier Martinez filed for a temporary restraining order against Halle Berry, alleging the actress physically abused their 12-year-old son, Maceo.
  • According to the filing, Martinez alleges the "Catwoman" star "physically abused our son Maceo, by jumping on him, putting her hands around his neck, and choking him."
  • The petition details prior abuse, claiming Berry once told their son that Martinez is "a white bitch trying to rob a Black woman" and asked, "How do you feel about that as a Black man?"
  • Martinez seeks sole custody of Maceo, and TMZ reports the parents must attend confidential mediation; representatives for Berry did not respond to requests for comment.
  • Seeking further protections, Martinez asks that Berry not be under the influence of substances during visitation and requests a pause until she "can take sufficient accountability for her actions.
