Halle Berry Fight: Ex-Beau and Baby Daddy Gabriel Aubry Hospitalized, Arrested After Heated Brawl with Starlet's Fiance Olivier Martinez
What an exciting Thanksgiving for Hollywood starlet Halle Berry (and not exactly in a good way)! According to reports, Berry's ex-beau Gabriel Aubry got into a heated brawl with the 46-year-old's fiancé Olivier Martinez at the actress' Hollywood Hills mansion on Thursday morning (Nov. 22). Apparently a verbal confrontation led to a rather heated physical fight where Aubry ultimately suffered a broken rib, facial abrasions, and possible head injury while Martinez may have broken his hand and suffered neck injuries. Aubrey was transported to a local hospital and promptly arrested following his release, while Martinez went to the emergency room of his own accord to attend to his personal battle wounds.
TMZ reports that Berry's estranged baby daddy arrived at the Academy Award winner's home to drop off their 4-year-old daughter Nahla for the turkey holiday. Apparently 46-year-old Martinez made a snide remark among the lines of "we have to move on," which led to an intense argument between the two men. Aubry pushed and threw a punch at the French actor, which ultimately led to an all-out fight.
After 36-year-old Aubry managed to hit Martinez both in the face and in the shoulder, the "Unfaithful" actor fought back. An eyewitness claims that the two men got into a scuffle which resulted in Martinez pinning Aubry to the ground.
"There was an incident at Halle Berry's residence earlier today," L.A. police department Sergeant Mike Odle confirmed to the Daily News. "There was an altercation, and as a result, a party was injured and transported to Cedars Sinai Medical Center. The party has been released from the hospital and is in custody."
Aubry's injuries were serious enough where he was transported to the hospital by law enforcement, but Martinez decided to seek medical attention on his own approximately an hour after the altercation. Apparently the two landed in hospital rooms right down the hall from one another. Once Aubry was treated by doctors and released, he was arrested by police and charged with misdemeanor battery, with bail set at $20,000. Martinez was released from the ER soon after and returned to Berry's home in time for dinner. An L.A. judge issued an emergency protective order to keep Aubry at least 100 yards away from Berry, Martinez, and Nahla until Dec. 3 (according to ABC news L.A. affiliate KABC).
The Thanksgiving brawl follows a recent family court ruling which found that Berry would not be allowed permission to move to France with young Nahla and Martinez, because it might harm the child's close relationship with her father. Although Berry and Aubry were never married, they met in 2005, had Nahla in 2008, and officially separated in 2010. She soon began dating Martinez and the two got engaged in March 2012.
