Halle Berry Strikes Another Blow To Gabriel Aubry's Visitation Rights

Actress Halle Berry isn’t taking any chances with her former beau Gabriel Aubry and their daughter Nahla. Despite their 5-year relationship and repeatedly gushing about how perfect the other is; the two are embroiled in a bitter custody battle. Aubry thus far is losing this battle. Within the last year Halle and Gabriel have been in and out of court fighting over child support payments and custody agreements.

In their most recent battle, Gabriel requested that his visitations with Nahla not include a required nanny. If you recall, Halle once stated that she feared for the safety of Nahla when with her father. Gabriel went into family court yesterday with high hopes but they were quickly dashed when the judge sided with Halle Berry.

According to TMZ, Gabriel is angry and feels the nanny is damaging his relationship with his daughter.

This is a sensitive topic. But I must say honestly that the news doesn’t portray Halle in the best light – in terms of fostering the best relationship with Nahla and her father. Her new beau Olivier Martinez was spotted on the beach solo with Nahla. Yet the judge seems to always side against Gabriel. So perhaps we’re missing something. What do you think?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
