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

Martinez says Berry attacked their son and seeks a temporary restraining order and sole custody, while her attorney calls the filing meritless.

  • 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.
