Thanksgiving got tense at Halle Berry’s house. According to TMZ, her ex Gabriel Aubry, the father of her daughter Nahla, was arrested after an altercation with her fiance Olivier Martinez. Both men were reportedly taken to Cedars Sinai Medical Center afterward.
TMZ cites law enforcement sources who say Gabriel came to the home with Nahla for a custody handoff. The site reports that Olivier approached him in the driveway and said they had to move on. Witnesses told TMZ that Gabriel pushed Olivier and swung at him, and that Olivier then struck Gabriel in the face before pinning him to the ground.
TMZ reports that Gabriel suffered a broken rib, facial bruising and possibly a more serious head injury, while Olivier may have hurt his hand and neck. The site also notes that accounts conflict over whether Gabriel was knocked unconscious. Police were called, and TMZ says Olivier made a citizen’s arrest for battery.
TMZ also reports that a judge issued an emergency protective order requiring Gabriel to stay 100 yards away from Halle, Olivier and Nahla. Representatives for Halle, Gabriel and Olivier had not publicly commented at the time of this post.
The incident lands in the middle of a very public custody situation between Halle and Gabriel, so all eyes will be on how it plays out from here.
