Halle Berry Seeking Permanent Restraining Order Against Gabriel Aubry

Posted byBy Kevin Webb | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Halle Berry will seek a restraining order against ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry after the Thanksgiving brawl that landed both Aubry and Berry’s fiancé Oliver Martinez in the emergency room. Aubry is the father of Berry’s 4-year-old daughter Nahla, and the pair are currently in the midst of a custody battle. The 37-year-old male model apparently instigated the altercation with Martinez Thursday morning at Berry’s Hollywood Hills home, and was arrested for investigation of battery. A court date was set for Dec. 13, following Audry’s release on $20,000 bail.

According to TMZ, Berry is planning to file a restraining order against Aubry, believing him to be a threat to her family’s safety. A judge has already issued an emergency order of protection, but anonymous sources say that the actress wants to extend the order forcing him to stay 100 yards away from her, Martinez and Nahla indefinitely. If not extended the emergency order will last until Tuesday.

Berry and Aubry recently participated in a custody hearing earlier in the month, but no final decision was made public. TMZ claims that the Nov. 9 hearing was focused on Berry’s desire to move with Nahla to Martinez’s native France, a request that was denied by the case judge.   She has been romantically linked to Martinez since 2010, and the couple announced their engagement earlier this year.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
