Page Six<\/a> obtained documents in which Martinez accused Berry of choking and jumping on Maceo during an alleged dispute last month.<\/p>\nHe claims her fianc\u00e9, Van Hunt, was present during the incident.<\/p>\n
Martinez alleges that the argument between Berry and Maceo started when she told him that he looks \u201cso stupid\u201d and is \u201csuch an idiot\u201d for playing a game with his virtual reality goggles.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe situation escalated and Petitioner jumped on our son and started physically fighting with him,\u201d he claims in the docs. \u201cShe grabbed Maceo by the neck and started choking him while shouting, \u2018Who is dominant now?! Who is dominant?!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Martinez says a panicked Maceo called hm to pick him up after the alleged incident, and that he does not want to return to his mum’s house because he is \u201ctraumatised.\u201d<\/p>\n
Martinez alleges that Berry has been abusive towards their son on multiple occasions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThroughout the last year and a half, Ms Berry had wrestled Maceo to the ground and forced him to \u2018tap out,\u201d he claims in the docs.<\/p>\n
He later claims that Berry has caused Maceo mental and emotional distress due to making racially charges statements. Back in 2023, he alleges that the Oscar winner told their son his dad is \u201ca white b \u2014 h trying to rob a black woman\u201d due to their child support issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Berry then asked our son, \u2018How do you feel about that as a black man?\u2019\u201d he claims.<\/p>\n
Martinez states in the docs that he has \u201csignificant concerns\u201d about Berry\u2019s mental health, \u201cas well as her alcohol abuse, which I believe have contributed to her abusive conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n
Martinez requested sole custody of Maceo, in addition to the restraining orders for him and his son.<\/p>\n
Berry\u2019s lawyer Marina Beck strongly denied the allegations in a media statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo say this filing is entirely meritless and deliberately misleading would be an understatement,\u201d the statement read. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere is voluminous evidence, including numerous judicial rulings, that Olivier Martinez repeatedly violated court orders and interfered with necessary therapeutic and educational interventions to the detriment of his and Halle Berry\u2019s minor son Maceo \u2013 misconduct for which Mr. Martinez has already been legally sanctioned.\u201d<\/p>\n
The statement continued: \u201cIn a way, today\u2019s filing is not entirely unexpected from an individual with a well-documented history of erratic, possessive and violent behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n
Berry and Martinez, both 60, were married for two years before splitting in October 2015. Their contentious divorce took eight years to finalise.<\/p>\n
Back in September 2024, she claimed in a court filing that she\u2019s spent over $200,000 trying to co-parent Maceo amid their bitter custody battle.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have done everything possible to work with Olivier, to communicate with him, and to engage him in the decision-making process regarding our son in an amicable way,\u201d she wrote in court docs.<\/p>\n
Berry argued that her ex had \u201crefused to co-parent and communicate with me in a child-centred way\u201d and that he instead had \u201cbeen oppositional and unmovable on all major issues relating to Maceo.\u201d<\/p>\n
Berry is also a mum to daughter Nahla, 18, whom she shares with ex Gabriel Aubry.<\/p>\n
