Olivier Martinez accuses ex-wife Halle Berry of choking their son

Olivier Martinez has accused his ex-wife, Halle Berry, of physically abusing their son, leading to a temporary court-ordered restriction on her visitation rights. Berry's legal team has denied the allegations, calling them unfounded and misleading.

Olivier Martinez has accused his ex-wife, Halle Berry, of physically attacking their son, Maceo, on September 26. In court documents obtained by TMZ, Martinez alleges that Berry jumped on the boy, placed her hands around his neck, and strangled him. He claims this is not an isolated incident and that other instances of physical abuse have occurred in the past. Consequently, a judge has implemented a temporary restraining order and restricted Berry's visitation rights with their son until at least October 16.

Berry's legal representative has firmly denied the allegations, labeling them as completely baseless and intentionally misleading. While the actress is reportedly devastated by the situation, she intends to continue advocating for her son's well-being. Martinez also requested that the court mandate sobriety testing for Berry during her visits, but the judge denied this specific request due to insufficient information. The former couple, who ended their two-year marriage in 2015, only finalized their lengthy divorce proceedings in 2023.
