Halle Berry’s son pleaded for dad to pick him up in private texts after she allegedly choked him: ‘Please come’

Olivier Martinez, the ex-husband of Halle Berry, filed a temporary restraining order against her on September 26, accusing her of physically abusing their son Maceo, who is 12 years old. According to court documents, Martinez claims that Berry choked Maceo by putting her hands around his neck and jumping on him during an incident in which her fiancé, Van Hunt, was also present.

Martinez filed for sole custody of Maceo, alleging multiple instances of physical and emotional abuse over the past year and a half. He further accuses Berry of telling their son that he is "a white b—h trying to rob a black woman," referring to their child support issues. After seeking a restraining order in Los Angeles Superior Court on October 1, Martinez was granted temporary primary custody of Maceo, with Berry allowed only two days a week and every other weekend for visitation.

Berry's attorney, Marina Beck, strongly denied the allegations, calling them "entirely meritless" and stating that there is evidence showing Martinez violated court orders multiple times. The next hearing regarding custody will be on October 16.
