Olivier Martinez Files Restraining Order Against Halle Berry Over Son Abuse AllegationsPreviousNext

Olivier Martinez has filed for a temporary restraining order against ex-wife Halle Berry, alleging she physically abused their 12-year-old son, Maceo, including choking him during a September 26 incident. Martinez claims this was part of a pattern of physical and emotional abuse and seeks sole custody. Berry's attorney denies the allegations, calling them meritless and misleading. The case is pending a hearing, and Berry has not publicly responded. Both parents have two children, with Berry maintaining privacy about their lives.
