Flaawsome Talk with Kjersti Flaa - Halle Berry Accused by Her Son !!

00:00:00.000 And he also says that this is not an isolated incident,

00:00:04.480 that there have been previous attacks like this as well.

00:00:12.860 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk.

00:00:14.560 I'm Serge DiFlor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller

00:00:17.080 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.

00:00:21.840 Okay, we got some really disturbing news today about Halle Berry.

00:00:26.340 According to TMZ, Olivier Martinez filed a temporary restraining order against her, alleging abuse of their 12-year-old son.

00:00:35.280 TMZ has learned Olivier alleges Hallie physically abused their son Maceo by jumping on him, putting her hands around his neck and choking him last Saturday.

00:00:47.280 He also claims that Maceo, their son, called him afterwards and told him what had happened,

00:00:53.940 that his mother had physically attacked him.

00:00:56.700 And he also says that this is not an isolated incident, that there have been previous attacks like this as well.

00:01:04.540 He also claims that Halle has threatened to have him deported to France.

00:01:10.740 Olivier Martinez is French, and for context, he was married to Halle Berry from 2013 to 2015.

00:01:19.480 Their divorce was finalized in 2023, and Halle Berry had to pay him $8,000 a month in child

00:01:29.300 support. They had shared custody of their son, and she also agreed to pay him 4.3% of any income

00:01:36.420 she receives above two million dollars in additional support and that gives a little

00:01:43.560 context to what also Olivier was accusing her of she he also said that she had asked her their son

00:01:51.260 Maceo what he was going to do as a black man to protect her from being robbed by Olivier who he 0.98

00:01:58.960 claims Olivier claims that she called a white bitch so according to the filing what happened 0.98

00:02:05.660 last Saturday was that Maceo was with his mother and her new boyfriend, who is now I think her 0.98

00:02:11.980 fiance, Van Hunt, and he was playing a VR game with goggles in his bedroom when his mom allegedly

00:02:19.880 entered the room in rage. And she said he looks so stupid and is such an idiot for playing the game. 1.00

00:02:28.420 And the situation allegedly escalated from there. And Olivier explains in the court filings that 1.00

00:02:35.460 Halle jumped on Maceo and started physically fighting with him.

00:02:41.360 He says she grabbed Maceo by the neck and started choking him while shouting, 0.98

00:02:46.980 who is dominant now?

00:02:49.520 And then there were attached these text messages from a conversation

00:02:53.260 between Olivier Martinez and Halle Berry.

00:02:57.400 So this is at 9 p.m.

00:03:00.060 I'm assuming this must be the next day.

00:03:02.920 And Olivier texts Hallie saying, Maceo just asked me to pick him up now.

00:03:08.600 Are you okay with it?

00:03:10.560 And Hallie says, no, I'm not okay with it.

00:03:13.420 He wants to fight his mother.

00:03:15.780 What kind of kid are we raising?

00:03:18.120 As a father, ask him what kind of kid he is.

00:03:21.760 I'm his mother, question mark.

00:03:25.120 And I'm going to try to analyze what Olivier is saying here.

00:03:28.100 There's a lot of spelling mistakes here.

00:03:29.860 So I'm not exactly sure, but hopefully I get it right.

00:03:32.160 he's I think he's trying to say well I don't know what's happening there what I know is you fight

00:03:37.720 too much with him and since a while now so you keep him at your place question mark even if he

00:03:43.800 doesn't want to stay so obviously their son wants to be with his father it seems like here he's

00:03:51.640 asking him to pick him up because he keeps fighting with his mother and then Halle says back to

00:03:58.860 this is wrong olivier i'm his mother and this is wrong he had no respect for his mother and this

00:04:06.920 should not be okay for you as his father and you should not let me this and you should not let me

00:04:14.560 this be period i'm a mother who is here logged who works to pay you and this is not okay and you

00:04:23.840 know it. He is disrespectful to me and feels I have no say on anything. I'm just moneybags. This

00:04:31.360 is wrong and wrong. She continues to say, Olivier, I've reached out to Maceo and asked to speak with

00:04:37.580 him. I know you very much think he makes his own decisions, but I would really appreciate

00:04:42.360 if you would encourage him to speak with me today. I feel terrible about what happened last night,

00:04:48.720 as I know he does as well thanks so it's obvious that something happened between Hallie and her

00:04:59.220 son and she says that she feels terrible about what happened last night but again we don't have

00:05:06.220 the full story yet but Olivier also claims that there's been past incidents he also said that

00:05:13.740 five years ago she allegedly struck him in the face their son I mean he's 12 now so that would

00:05:20.400 make him seven and it said about 10 years ago Olivier claims Hallie had a violent outburst

00:05:27.620 throwing a plate with a knife and fork on top and in 2023 while discussing child support she told 0.99

00:05:34.680 Maceo that Olivier was a white bitch robbing money from a black woman so there's obviously a lot of 1.00

00:05:43.380 bitterness here. It seems like Halle Berry is not happy that she has to pay any child support, 1.00

00:05:49.820 something that she's been very vocal about before. I'll get back to that later here. So now Olivier

00:05:54.980 is requesting sole custody of their son and yesterday the judge actually ruled on this

00:06:04.220 temporary restraining order and he granted it, which I think says a lot. Halle Berry must stay 0.78

00:06:12.840 100 yards away from Martinez and she has temporarily been restricted to court-ordered

00:06:20.160 visitation. So she's only allowed to see Maceo now on Mondays and Tuesdays between 10 a.m and 8

00:06:29.660 p.m and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m to 8 p.m. This temporary restraining order will be intact

00:06:39.600 until a hearing on October 16th.

00:06:43.980 The order also states that she must not drink

00:06:46.740 or be under the influence of alcohol or other substances

00:06:50.020 in the presence of their son.

00:06:52.180 And she must undergo sobriety testing

00:06:54.400 before, during, or after any visitation.

00:06:59.340 Anne Martinez's lawyer has come out

00:07:01.460 and commented on this as well.

00:07:04.060 And he said that his client's paramount concern

00:07:06.500 is the health, welfare, and safety of the minor child,

00:07:10.800 hence the action that he took in court

00:07:12.640 by filing the request for DV restraining order.

00:07:15.720 The second concern would be for the mother, Halle Berry, 0.60

00:07:20.680 to get the appropriate help that she needs to address her issues 0.98

00:07:23.720 so she can better herself, 0.87

00:07:25.960 which would in turn help the minor child moving forward.

00:07:30.560 This is really, really bad for Halle Berry.

00:07:33.540 He continued to say that Martinez is a loving parent who has tried to do the best he can.

00:07:40.340 Obviously, it's always difficult when you're in a co-parenting partnership.

00:07:44.400 Our paramount concern right now is only the one real issue, and that's protecting these great kids.

00:07:53.260 And now Halle Berry has come out and responded to this.

00:07:56.640 Halle's attorney, Marina Beck, told TMZ to say that this filing is entirely meritless and deliberately misleading would be an understatement.

00:08:06.920 There is voluminous evidence, including numerous juridical rulings, that Olivier Martinez repeatedly violated court orders and interfered with necessary therapeutic and educational interventions to the deterrence of his and Halle Berry's minor son, Maceo, misconduct, for which Mr. Martinez has already been legally sanctioned.

00:08:32.920 so yes we still don't know where the truth lays here and there was an incident between

00:08:41.660 olivier martinez and hallie berry's ex-boyfriend gabrielle aubry in 2012 on thanksgiving so at that

00:08:53.120 time hallie and olivier martinez was planning to move to france and bring hallie berry's daughter

00:09:01.880 Nala with them and Halle Berry's father Gabrielle Aubrey was not happy about that. He wanted his

00:09:08.920 daughter to stay in the same country as him. So at the time when Aubrey came to pick up his daughter

00:09:13.560 there was an altercation with Olivier and there are photos of Aubrey showing that this was a serious

00:09:22.040 physical fight between the two of them. He accused Olivier of slamming his head against the concrete

00:09:28.480 driveway and he walked away from the fight with some brutal injuries. At the time Halle Berry said

00:09:36.000 that it was Gabrielle who was the aggressor here and the initial police response treated Aubrey as

00:09:42.660 the aggressor in the incident and he was arrested and an emergency protective order kept him away

00:09:47.880 from Halle, Martinez and Nala, their daughter. Aubrey on the other hand he alleged that Martinez

00:09:54.660 was the one who attacked him and he said that he had threatened to kill him as well. And then Aubrey

00:10:01.400 obtained a temporary restraining order against Martinez. I mean, can you imagine being the

00:10:07.940 children involved with all these grown-ups fighting like this? I mean, this is just terrible.

00:10:14.560 Then there was another incident involving Olivier Martinez where he was at the LAX airport

00:10:22.060 and an airport employee,

00:10:24.800 Ronaldo Owens,

00:10:26.240 alleged that Martinez knocked him down

00:10:28.640 using an empty child's car seat.

00:10:31.900 Come on, guys.

00:10:39.340 Hey, that's against the wall.

00:10:42.700 Try that with me.

00:10:43.780 Employee.

00:10:45.220 That's an employee.

00:10:47.220 Is there some reason you're not stopping him from doing that?

00:10:50.240 And Owens sued Martinez and Halle Berry for $5 million.

00:11:04.800 That lawsuit was settled in 2017, and the settlement did not establish any liability,

00:11:12.200 so we don't know exactly what they agreed on there.

00:11:14.740 And by the way, Halle Berry has publicly discussed her father's alcoholism.

00:11:20.240 and his abusive behavior. And this is not the first time Halle Berry has been in the headlines

00:11:26.340 like this. In 2000, she was involved in a hit and run. So she ran a red light and collided with 0.94

00:11:35.320 another car and she left the scene. She received three years probation at the time and a $13,500

00:11:43.080 fine and 200 hours of community service. She tried to explain her behavior blaming this on a head

00:11:51.300 injury. She also spoke openly about an ex of hers that hit her so hard once that she lost parts of

00:11:59.440 her hearing on one of her ears and her ex David Justice came out and said hey everyone believes

00:12:07.360 you're talking about me why don't you make the record straight. I never did anything like that

00:12:11.740 But Halle Berry did obtain a temporary restraining order against him as well.

00:12:17.400 During their divorce, they were married between 1993 and 1997.

00:12:24.860 Then there was another legal dispute in 2014 when Halle brought Aubrey to court,

00:12:33.400 alleging that he had been straightening and lightening their daughter's hair to suppress her black identity.

00:12:39.620 And the court ordered back then that both parents were to refrain from altering her natural hair.

00:12:46.640 Yeah, that whole story I find a little strange to go to court for something like that.

00:12:52.700 Anyway, then she did make a public statement in 2021 about child support

00:12:58.980 because she's paying child support to both these men.

00:13:01.920 I'm not sure if she's doing that to Aubrey anymore because Nala is now 18 years old. 0.99

00:13:06.820 But she complained about paying child support and calling it extortion back then. 1.00

00:13:12.800 Her position back then was that you should cover children's reasonable needs, 1.00

00:13:17.260 but you should not subsidize your ex-fancy lifestyle. 0.87

00:13:22.080 And then she had another conflict again in 2024 with Olivia Martinez over their son Maceo.

00:13:30.240 And she alleged that Martinez obstructed educational and therapeutic help for Maceo.

00:13:36.060 I don't know what she means about that.

00:13:38.620 I mentioned that earlier too, the educational and therapeutic help for Maceo.

00:13:43.460 I don't know if he has special needs or anything like that.

00:13:46.800 But it's clear that the two of them have very different parenting styles.

00:13:51.260 It was interesting because I was watching some commentaries about this online earlier today.

00:13:56.180 And I was really surprised by some people defending this behavior towards a child.

00:14:01.960 Saying that some children need discipline in that matter.

00:14:05.360 and that's okay and to me that is absurd that some people think that it's okay to get physical

00:14:12.600 like that with a child i mean you can grab your child's arm and say don't do that again

00:14:17.560 but any violence against children is an absolute no-no and there is absolutely no excuse for it

00:14:25.140 if you think that's okay then you're telling your child that as long as you have a good excuse for

00:14:31.140 being violent that's okay my personal opinion about this there should never there is never

00:14:36.620 an excuse for hitting a child if you need help raising your child get professional help

00:14:42.000 don't think that your child is ever going to benefit from something like that and their son

00:14:47.960 is 12 years old he's an early teen he's probably super annoying at times but for Halle Berry to

00:14:55.480 jump on her child and put him in a chokehold. That is a level that is just no acceptable under

00:15:02.780 any circumstances. I wonder now if this will affect Halle Berry's career. I've been watching 0.99

00:15:10.000 her a little bit on Instagram. She's been posting a lot to support other women in menopause. She's

00:15:17.100 worked a lot to remove stigma for women experiencing difficulties during menopause.

00:15:23.320 And she's also very open and sharing things like intimate things from her life on her Instagram.

00:15:28.980 She just shared some videos from her birthday.

00:15:32.340 I think this was from August or September this year with her new fiancé, Van Hunt.

00:15:38.280 And I think that people in Hollywood generally likes her.

00:15:41.380 I find her behavior to be a little bit strange.

00:15:44.380 I have to say that.

00:15:45.380 I've met her a few times in interview situations.

00:15:48.340 I never sat down with her on a one-on-one.

00:15:50.560 but I've been to press conferences with her and maybe it's her sense of humor I don't know but

00:15:57.500 she seemed a little bit off it was something a bit strange about her I don't know that's just my

00:16:02.440 personal observations from her and maybe she's a great person and maybe she is innocent of these

00:16:10.020 things but let's leave it at that we don't have all the facts yet we have to wait until October

00:16:14.660 16th to find out from that hearing what the judge decides to do. Anyways in the meantime I hope

00:16:21.500 Maceo is okay. It's just so sad for these kids especially if you have famous parents because

00:16:29.060 then on top of being torn between your parents you also have to read about this in the press

00:16:34.840 and Maceo is 12. He understands a lot and I'm sure he's going to read some of these stories

00:16:40.040 and of course he is going to be affected by it.

00:16:43.420 So yeah, I hope everyone involved there is going to be okay.

00:16:46.300 I think this sounds really, really messy.

00:16:49.360 Okay, that's it for me today, you guys.
