This one is just unbelievable! By now, you have heard about the Thankgiving Day 'brawl' at Halle Berry's house. Gabriel Aubry, male model of ultimate hotness and father of Berry's 4-year-old daughter, Nahla, went to drop her off at her mommy's. Mommy's creepy boyfriend, actor Olivier Martinez, still reeling from a L.A. County Family Law judge telling him and Berry to step off, tells Aubry "We have to move on." As in "We have to move on....to France"? Who knows? Whatever it implied, it pissed off Aubry who took a swing at Martinez but only connected with his shoulder. It looks like Martinez then beat the hell out of him. Aubry's face is a mess and he has a broken rib. Martinez has a swollen hand and like Aubry, went to the Cedars Sinai Hospital Emergency Department...an hour after Aubry, and the couple actually brought Nahla!
Berry, who loves to talk about how abused she's always been, decided she just had to move to France with Martinez because of stalkers and how 'dangerous' the paparazzi is to Nahla (her fiancé is from France, but that has nothing to do with it, really). Her decision coincided with Aubry suddenly becoming some kind of horrible monster. There was children services involvement, a child endangerment investigation, courts, police, etc. Aubry, who for some reason wasn't keen on his child being ripped out of his life, fought back. Earlier this month, the judge finally ruled in his favor. No, Ms. Berry, you won't be yanking your kid away from the daddy she clearly adores, sorry! Suddenly, there's the turkey day fight, where Martinez mouths off to Aubry. Berry has complained about Aubry's 'anger issues' before, he's even taken anger management courses! Is it a big leap to suggest Martinez and Berry knew he would snap? Aubry gets arrested (misdemeanor battery) and an emergency court order is issued stating that Aubry must stay 100 yards away from Berry, Martinez and, of course, Nahla.
So, what does the terrified-of-the-paps Halle Berry do on Friday? What lots of parents do on a day off, she took her daughter to a show, 'Yo Gabba Gabba!' to be exact. Guess how she arrived? In a black security SUV surrounded by four, yes FOUR L.A.P.D. motorcycle officers! She also had bodyguards with her. C'mon now, Halle, seriously? Was she thinking Aubry was planning a full-on terrorist attack? Maybe a kidnapping plot? If it was out of fear of her stalkers, she'd always have that kind of security detail...oh no, this was done for people to see. Perhaps she just couldn't resist all the extra paparazzi camping out in wait. She knew they were there because very early Friday morning, Martinez took a trip to a local liquor store, sans bandages on his hand. The paparazzi camped out at her digs all night.
Hopefully, when a judge reviews the TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) on Monday, he/she will drop little Nahla from it, but it's pretty unlikely. With Aubry's admission of anger issues (he has never hit Halle or Nahla), which supposedly is a problem with yelling, not too many judges will take a chance. Almost certainly, Berry's lawyers will be ready, papers in hand, to request that move to France again, if not at that hearing, very soon after. Berry obviously isn't concerned with what is best for Nahla. Judging by article comments that are overwhelmingly in favor of Aubry, he has the public's support. But, unless the judge has a side job at TMZ, it won't help in the courtroom on Monday.

Thanks for the comment.
I will look into Aubry's alleged anger issues more. I know he willingly took anger management classes, but I'm not sure if he was expected to (for the case) or if he really does have an issue...well, obviously he has some issue or he wouldn't have hit Martinez in the first place. Bet he won't do that again!
I couldn't have said it any better~I grew up without a "real" father & I managed to snag 2 college degrees~didn't have to climb a pole to do it. george is a perfect example of humanity gone wrong!
I managed to make a life for myself with climbing a pole. Or dancing 'round one.
I don't think giving custody to Aubry is right though. That would be as bad as moving her off to France. She needs her mama. Maybe if she didn't make it a media circus when she went out it would help! : )
As for linking the article to another Gather article saying the same thing, that's the point. It is to show that my opinion is not just my opinion-that others are thinking it could be a possibility as well. It is something we are supposed to do with our articles. It would be taking more away from Gather if I was linking to the same article the other Gather writer did rather than just link it to his.
As for Aubry vs. Martinez looks wise, just a matter of opinion. Again, doing what I am supposed to do.
Oh puh-leeezzz, & how many women, white women, pull this trick??? I don't know the whole story, and neither do you~so for you to point blame, is irresponsible. As far as linking, he's probably the most biased of SW's on Gather & for you to link to him...well, it proves you're just as biased, since you admit he shares your opinion. You're doing what you're "supposed to do," & I'm just calling you out for it!
This incident happened after she was denied being able to move the child to France. No connection? It seems to me there's plenty of connections.
One of her arguments against Gabriel having time with their daughter was her belief in the "one drop" theory. She has come up with excuse after excuse to keep him away. No one denies he has anger issues, but when was the last time he exploded? He certainly seems to enjoy being with his daughter.
My mother had anger issues. A lot of people do. They don't lose the chance to see their kids.
Where did I say that? I'm not arguing the merits of the case. Despite all the publicity, nobody knows all the details x the people involved. I called the OP out on the judgmental tone of her post against Berry. From what I've read, Aubrey was abusive & if you don't remove yourself from abusive situations, they threaten to take your kids away (yeah, speaking from experience). I stand by my comments regarding white people & interracial relationships (experience there, too!).
