Halle Berry accused of abusing son by ex-husband Oliver Martinez

  • Halle Berry 's ex-husband, Olivier Martinez, has been granted a temporary restraining order protecting both himself and their 12-year-old son, Maceo, following allegations of physical abuse made against the actor.
  • Court documents reveal that Martinez accused Berry of choking Maceo during an incident while shouting at him, as well as subjecting both him and their child to ongoing physical, verbal, and emotional abuse over several years.
  • Berry's lawyer, Marina Beck, has strongly rejected the allegations, labelling the court filing entirely meritless and deliberately misleading, while stating that Berry will continue to fight for her son's best interests.
  • A judge has modified Berry's visitation rights to specific daytime hours on Mondays, Tuesdays, and weekends, though Martinez's request for Berry's sobriety to be monitored was rejected due to insufficient evidence.
  • A full court hearing regarding the restraining order is set for 16 October, marking the latest legal dispute between the former couple who finalised their divorce in 2023 after eight years of proceedings.
