It is amazing to me how quickly that the events of 9 days ago are trying to be forgotten and swept under the rug. It is not so much that everyone wants to just move on, but that for a year Halle Berry has not wanted to move on and has spent so much time and money trying to get her own way in court. Then, she finally has a chance to get her own way because of what happened on Thanksgiving morning and everything is dropped and good and everyone is best friends. Does she not want to move to France anymore? Did Gabriel agree to move to France with them? I think Halle in France would be a really bad idea. She loves getting her photo taken and she would never get it taken again except on red carpets. That is not her. Maybe she realized that? Anyway, yesterday Gabriel dropped his restraining order against Olivier and in return got to spend time with Nahla. I wonder how he explained the bruises.
I can't help feeling there is something juicy behind these recent turns.
ReplyDeleteWas anyone other than Hallie, Olivier, and Gabe interviewed by police? Was there a nanny or personal assistant or someone who would've influenced this outcome?
ReplyDeleteMaybe someone finally got through to her, how much damage she was causing with this vendetta of hers.
ReplyDeleteI did read yesterday that part of the settlement was that she would cover Gabriel's medical and legal expenses related to this most recent fight.
There is definitely a lot more to this, more than we'll probably ever know.
@mynerva: my thoughts exactly....
ReplyDeleteThere's something fishy here. And I loooove your avatar @ mynerva!
ReplyDeleteThanks butter!!
Deleteit would be nice to think this was a big wake up call to all the so-called adults and they realized it and declared a truce.
ReplyDeletehowever, i doubt that's why this is suddenly resolved, considering the people involved.
i think someone who witnessed the beatdown, or some pictures of it came out...
ReplyDeletei hope for Nahla it lasts
I think someone talked sense into her about ruining her reputation. As it is I can't look at her the same way anymore. Plus she probably figured she wasn't going to win this battle so might as well cut her losses. I just hope for the sake of the little girl that this truce can last.
ReplyDeleteI think there was a witness or pics taken that put Oliver and Halle in a bad light. Sense into Halle's head? Please! She was given something that shut her up. I bet she feared losing her daughter.
ReplyDeleteHalle care$ about her ca$h flow. This was breaking against her so I'm sure her people sat her down and explained the facts of life to her re Revlon et al.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm Gabriel I'd remain on guard. I'm sure she and her thug boyfriend are planning something else to make him look bad.
Meanwhile Nahla looks so happy to see her Dad. Shame her mother is using her like this.
I'd be surprised if Halle's fixer doesn't have the money for a down payment on a tiny island at this point.
ReplyDeleteI think it's about time we start formulating the break-up press release for Olivier and Halle; I'm almost positive the words "controlling", threats of "physical abuse" and "feared for our lives".
Girl
ReplyDeleteBe
Cray cray
maybe she read the comments on entertainment sites, it's almost unanimous what people think of her
ReplyDeletemaybe someone finally got through to them that Nahla isn't a prize to be won but a person that needs the love and support of a family that makes her feel secure. And not feeling like she will be shipped off to whatever country of the man mommy falls in love with that month or daddy beaten when he doesn't agree with mommy.
ReplyDeleteOf course I also think that public opinion was turning pretty badly on Halle for what she was doing and wanted to stop all the hate coming her way. At the end of the day Halle is the breadwinner if she can't get cast in roles or campaigns the money will run out eventually. The fact that she is quietly putting her $15 million dollar home on the market makes me think she is looking to downsize.
I think old Oli was wasted and wanted to start a fight. We all saw the pictures. Olivier hands looked like he punched the ground or poor Gabriel's face over and over again. You can't call it defending yourself if you start the fight and are drunk.
ReplyDeleteI think somehow this was witnessed. Whether cameras or by sight. I think Olivier was the attacker and Gabriel didn't even see it coming. Judging by the injuries to the Olivier's hand and Gabriel's face, if the witness said "I saw the whole thing and I'll testify" it's game over.
ReplyDeleteThis is one case where I've really gotten irritated. The manipulation in this case is so over the top obvious. I used to think Halle was so beautiful but that does not make up for the evil she's done. I hope Gabriel's attorney walked into that room and said "we've got proof Olivier started this whole thing and not only is Gabriel the victim, we're going to sue and your career will be toast". That would explain the turn of events.
I don't think that halle came to her senses either. that would assume that she had senses to come to, which I don't think that she has based on her past behavior.
ReplyDeleteI imagine that someone high up at revlon gave her a call and threatened to end her contract if the craziness continued. after all, her baby daddy's face showed that he got a very very serious beat down, whether he was the aggressor or not, and I don't believe that he was.
a picture is worth a thousand words.
when parties behave like they have been behaving, they never simultaneously come to their senses. divorce/child custody brings out the worst in people and they relive their childhood issues out within the context of the fight.
so, no doubt halle got a call that her revlon gravy train was going to come to an end if things weren't resolved asap. that, to me, is the only scenario that makes sense.
in order to get gabriel on board, she had to let him see his daughter, pay his lawyer and medical costs. it appears that he got everything that he wanted.
and he looks like he is a really good dad who loves his little girl. you can tell that by the picture here. he's leaning over, she looks like she is gabbing away telling him what's new. its quite heartwarming.
Not much legal thought behind that post. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat Annabella said. Bet the cops looked at her home security tapes and bolstered Gabriel's case.
ReplyDeletei agree, especially with those pap shots of her swollen face, that someone at her agent/PR agency finally got through to her that public opinion is soo overwhelmingly against her that she could lose some big contracts and big future roles because of this and to just settle already.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I'm sure he loves his daughter, I find it a bit disturbing that he was around her with his face looking like that..... Surely that would be very upsetting for a child of that age to see her Father with his face such a mess
ReplyDeleteI love that picture, she looks so happy to be with him!
ReplyDeleteI actually spent years hiding with my children from an abusive husband/father, and even *I* don't believe this woman's lies. I think someone on her team realized that the internet-using public isn't as stupid as they would like to believe we are, but I don't think this "peace" will last; I don't think she can contain the crazy for very long.
I agree there is much more to this, and we will probably never know exactly what...but a good lawyer doing a background check on Oliver could probably come up with some dirt...the man is a sleaze bag, and he's living in the same house with Nahla....
ReplyDeleteI think Oliver & Halle will be over in the not to far future...
They said she put the house up for sale hoping that the judge would clear her for the move to France..
Wonder if Oliver will loose his Dior contract...?
I don't understand why Gabe doesn't have full custody. I feel sorry for Nahla. She needs positive images of a stable relationship.
ReplyDeleteI also think that Halle and Olivier are perfect for each other. These volatile people will keep each other in line. :-)
I can not believe Halle trying to remove a loving father from her child's life yet give her a step father capable of this level of violence!!
ReplyDeleteas well as move the child away from her loving father to live in a foreign country with this violent man!
Thank God justice was done for the child in this case by the judge.
Halle has made it clear in the past four years that Nahla's wellbeing is NOT her priority. I doubt she had an epiphany now.
ReplyDeleteIf deportation possibilities were really over Gabriel's head, I could understand this, but it seems that was off-table. There has to be so much more to why he dropped things, unless, as always, he's putting his daughter first and trying to stop the fighting, even at his own crazy expense, and I don't mean financially at all. He's choosing peace. But, I wonder how much they had to give him, and my guess is it involves way, way more than money. The public support on his behalf was so overwhelming - the pictures were disgusting and inexplicably, indefensibly brutal. Olivier had no place even being NEAR the drop-off of Nahla, more over by himself. He could have killed Gabriel, and he certainly was relentless in trying to destroy the livelihood of the father of his "fiance's" daughter by beating his model face to unrecognizable pulp. Further, the fact that Gabriel was knocked unconscience is far beyond deplorable and means that brain damage was absolutely possible. That is SICK, and I hope Olivier suffers backlash worse even than Chris Brown. My guess? I bet Gabriel is going to get not only more time with Nahla but better time - like primo weekends and holidays and vacations - even to Canada, his home, which it seems Berry has blocked so far (anyone else notice he's never gotten to take his daughter "home" since the split?). Also, a nanny will always handle hand-offs, and the subject of anyone ever moving anywhere is forever off table. And, just because there is no formal restraining order, I would BET there is a civil agreement in place that Olivier may not come within 50 feet of Gabriel, nor be solo with Nahla, or else Halle either surrenders custody and/or pays him every cent she has. Gabriel doesn't need their money - he's wealthy in his own right and not extravagant. I don't think he'd walk away from this for just a payout. His heart is too far proven in the right place in this whole thing from day 1. He's always made it about Nahla and putting her first, and that includes never once uttering a negative word about Berry, even via "sources," despite her blabbing to the press anonymously and not so anonymously CONSTANTLY, calling in any favor she ever had for slants from NY Daily News, TMZ and US Weekly (it's a JOKE how partial these outlets have portrayed the situation). I, for one, will never buy a product that psycho witch endorses nor see an inch of film with her in it - ever. So many mothers suffer from fathers walking out and leaving the children, have to watch their child(ren) hurt and blame themselves; so many children suffer from Dads abandoning them, not caring, coming and going, never making them important. And, here we have a man SHE left, and who just wants to father his kid, be around, love his daughter, and Helly Berry's done EVERYTHING to make that impossible, lying CONSTANTLY about his character and even their daughter's safety around him (*yet she keeps Olivier?! Wow). I'd say Gabriel has the patience and perseverence of a SAINT for not trying to strangle the c*nt. Sorry, fellow C'Daners ... Sorry for my rant. I hate her with a bottomless passion on behalf of real struggling single mothers and suffering abandoned kids everywhere. She can rot in Hell.
ReplyDelete@J-Mo : Exactly my thoughts. People see her no longer as a woman who happened to be involved with bad men (see her past; her beaten silly, the cheating ex hubby etc etc) but now realize Halle is the biggest problem in those relationships (not defending guys who beat women here, but mkay).
ReplyDeleteShe is a trainwreck and a calculating bitch. She was gonna try to turn people on her ex so everyone (incl court) could see he is agressive and shouldn't be around the kid. Of course this happened right after Halle heard she wasn;t gonna be able to move to France, so biatch was pissed. If she can't get her way, no one can get their way.
Too bad her prettyboy bf kinda lost it when taunting Gabriel, and now he looks like a serial killer the way he injured him. It was supposed to look like Gabriel was a bad guy who attacked Halle's poor bf, Plan backfired, so Halle crawls back in her hole and tries to come up with a new plan.
I hate this bitch. This case stinks and I am sure in a couple of months Martinez will be her new victim with Halle whining about him beating her, that the beating of Gabriel was Martinez raging and the setup (if it ever comes out, prolly not)was all Martinez idea and that he was threatening her and her kid etc etc etc.
Too bad people are tired of her and her games so no one will be believe her. Dumb annoying bitch. She doesn't deserve that kid. Hope she moves to France and leaves us alone -.- (sorry France!)
Oh, and if she breaks up with Martinez in the next coming weeks, I wouldn't be surprised: because of the weird injuries (he has nothing, Gabriel looks half dead) it looks like a total set up. She is gonna throw him under the buss if necessary. She tried to make her ex look bad and it didn't work, and now she and her man look bad. He is the one who hit him so if she leaves and says it was all his plan/agression/issues, she will think she will no longer be blamed.
ReplyDelete@PS: I bow down to you. Exactly my thoughts. I hate that bitch with a passion. Before the whole babydaddy drama I didn't really have an opinion about her, she was just a decent actress. But now.. OMG, I want to hit her in the face so hard.
ReplyDeleteYour story is well explained, thanks. I soooo hope more people feel the same way and all her coming movies/endorsements will be dropped/flop. I hope she goes away and the little girl is gonna live with her dad, who doesn't live for attention, unlike mommy dearest.
Halle has a lot of explaining to do when her girl gets older; staying with a man who is clearly agressive and beat the crap out of her dad. All of this while Halle whines in the media about being half deaf because an ex beat her so hard. But of course Martinez is 'different'. Until they break up, then suddenly 'someone' 'leakes' that Martinez is the anti christ. Oh oh Halle. People see what you are trying to do, just quit this fuckery.
probably halle Allowed him to see her daughter again because she would lose Revlon contract or something similiar, she has no brIns but a calculator and a drive for violence and drama.
ReplyDeleteThat little girl looks so happy to be with her dad.
ReplyDeleteGlad he handled this so peacefully.
I hope his poor bruised face didn't frighten her too much. Hard to explain to a little girl--and she has to live with the man who beat her dad to a pulp.
I'm glad Gabriel got to see his daughter. She looks thrilled to be with him. Either someone witnessed Martinez beating the crap out of him,or Hallie didn't get the tape of the beating erased before the cops got it. I doubt she came to her senses and decided to put Nahla's welfare first and do the right thing. I know I won't see anything she is in or buy anything she indorses ever again. She's a lying selfish Bitch.
ReplyDeleteHow do u explainur facialdamageto a child that young...poor Nahla.
ReplyDeleteGreat post P.S.
ReplyDeleteGood for Gabriel and Nahla.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Halle bargained for Gabriel's devotion to his daughter, which is lovely. I think she thought she could get a pretty child out of him and get him to disappear.
Maybe she didn't experience that sort of attachment as a child. Sad. And it shows.
I love that pic of Gabriel and Nahla. She looks happy! I'm guessing he covered some of the bruises with make up? Maybe a friend who's a makeup artist helped?
ReplyDeleteIf Halle has a bad habit of being with men who are abusive then why is Gabriel Aubry getting a pass from you all? Do you honestly think she had one clarifying moment in her life and picked someone against her type? He really could be an abusive controlling person who gets a pass because we all find him pretty to look at.
ReplyDelete@PS! You are right on the money. I tried to identify with Halle for a long time but she really lost me with this latest stunt. I am myself going through a bitter custody battle with my ex and I myself am a daughter who grew up "lost" because my dad abandoned me.
ReplyDeleteKnowing how badly Halle has been affected by the same afflictions (as she as well revealed) it's amazing to me that she wouldn't have tried to work out something more amicable for the sake of her daughter along time ago. At a certain point no matter how bad the relationship was for the adults involved you have to make a conscientious effort to remove your egos and concentrate on the child. That takes BIG people to do and to me Halle showed she is not as fully healed from her own demons with men and her pasts mistakes. She is trying to control a situation that is not really about her. I pray she comes to her senses and lets this man be the father to that little girl that Nahla will need. That's the Bigger picture.
Halle and Martinez got a lot of bad press. A LOT! Their 'people' have advised them about their image and that is the only reason they are playing nice with Gabriel. He'd better not let his guard down.
ReplyDeleteThey are all nuts!
