From TMZ:
Halle Berry is taking no chances … she’s going to court early this week for a restraining order against Gabriel Aubry after the blowout fight Thanksgiving day … TMZ has learned.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ Halle and her lawyers are alarmed that Gabriel allegedly started the fight with Olivier Martinez right in front of 4-year-old Nahla. Although a judge issued an emergency order of protection — requiring Gabriel to stay 100 yards away from Halle, Nahla and Olivier — that order expires Tuesday.
We’re told Halle’s lawyers will be in family court asking a judge to extend that protection for an indefinite period of time.
TMZ broke the story … the bloody fight landed both Gabriel and Olivier in the same hospital ER. Gabriel was arrested and could be charged with criminal battery.
Sources tell us … Halle’s argument is pretty simple — if Gabriel can’t control himself enough to protect Nahla from emotional trauma, it’s too risky for him to be around the child, Halle, or her fiance … with whom he clearly has beef.
Halle has firepower behind the argument, because we know Halle’s lawyers argued before the same judge on previous occasions that Gabriel’s temper was uncontrollable.
When I told you guys about the Thanksgiving fight, I didn’t know a whole lot about the situation. I knew that Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry were having this big long custody battle, but I never really looked into it more because I just think Halle Berry is so boring. But now I’ve read about how Gabriel allegedly pushed the nanny and about how he’s secretly racist, and I just think this whole thing is a mess.
Everybody has some issues here, you know? Gabriel shouldn’t have hit Olivier, but then Olivier did this to Gabriel “in self defense.” People have questioned Halle’s motives too, and how much she’s been spinning this whole story in her and Olivier’s favor. Basically, the only person who’s without a doubt, 100% innocent in this whole shit show is Nahla. And that’s sad.
By the looks of everyone, I would wager that Martinez was the aggressor. There was no paparazzi present to document this altercation, so it’s one guy’s word versus the other. I think Halle has exhausted every single other avenue to remove Aubry from Nahla’s life, so now she’s down to just flat-out lying. I think she baited him & he got his ass kicked and now she’s going to say whatever to wrap it around his neck.
Can you imagine what it must be like to be Olivier with Halle? How she must obsess over this all of the time? They’re all screwed up
She’ll never get a permanent restraining order because Nahla has never seen her Dad act out. All Gabriel has to do is ask for a court-appointed person to supervise his visits.
It’ll kill Halle to lose control and have a member of court watching Halle’s every move in the event of Nahla saying something negative about Halle or Olivier on one of Gabriel’s visits.
I think Olivier is as much a control freak as Halle is. He’s not as attractive or young as Gabriel so it makes him happy to separate him from his kid.
One thing that happens when you break up with a spouse or live-in person, there is now somebody out in the world who knows your dirty little secrets, what gets your freak on…..and exactly what buttons to push to make you become blind with fury. Halle just got the judgement that she cannot take the child to France. Would be all that far fetched for her to put together a situation where Oliver goes up to Gabriel and says something so rage inducing that he flips out. Olivier being ready for that exact response uses that moment to beat the stuffing out of Gabriel all the while crying “poor me….he attacked me for no reason.” Now Halle can maybe get what she could not get from the first court….a judgement that allows her to take the child to France. I do not condone violence WHATSOEVER but I would not be surprised if this were all orchestrated by Halle.
Halle and Olivier set this up beautifully didn’t they.
I agree with St. Louis Chick.. sounds like this whole thing was orchestrated by Ms. Berry.
p.s. I’ve read articles about Gabriel being jealous of a successful woman.. in pics, he looks very proud to be with her, and she usually has a strange look on her face. Get the feeling she didn’t like sharing her spotlight with this beautiful man.
Gotta admit, he outshines her.
Shes been involved in more than one hit-n-run where someone was badly injured and fled the scene, leaving a woman trapped in a busted up vehicle! Nuts! Apparently she’s made up for it & gotten off easy by donating to some charities. Money talks.
