Halle Berry’s Ex and Fiance Hospitalized in Thanksgiving Brawl

As we all know, the holidays can be stressful for nuclear families, but they can be disastrous for stepfamilies.  OMG on Yahoo is reporting that Halle Berry’s current fiance and ex-fiance both ended up hospitalized over the holiday, not to mention, her ex ended up in jail.  See the full story below.  Needless to say, we here at TMF wish them well and hope that the parties can work this out, especially for the sake of their daughter, Nahla.

Article as reported on OMG/Yahoo:

It’s probably safe to assume that Halle Berry’s ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry and current fiance Olivier Martinez are not thankful for each other this Thanksgiving. The two men had to be hospitalized after they got into an all-out brawl this morning at the Oscar winner’s Los Angeles home, reports TMZ. According to the site, it all began when Aubry dropped off his 4-year-old daughter with Berry, Nahla, back at her mother’s home. Once inside, Martinez approached the model and said, “We have to move on,” in reference to the battle between Berry and Aubry over Berry moving Nahla to France (a judge recently denied her request) – and that’s when Aubry lost it.

TMZ reports that Aubry, 36, swung at Martinez’s face, but he blocked it and was instead struck on the shoulder. Then Aubry pushed the actor to the ground, and that’s when Martinez punched him in the face. After wrestling on the ground, Martinez, 46, was able to pin Aubry to the ground and made a “citizen’s arrest” for assault.

Aubry was eventually booked for “a private persons arrest for battery,” according to the LAPD and his bond was set for $20,000. The former Versace model bonded out of jail about an hour later.

According to TMZ, before he was arrested, Aubry was taken to a hospital for a broken rib, contusions to his face, and possibly a head injury. A short time later, Martinez was taken to the same hospital with a neck injury and possibly a broken hand.

As a result, a judge has issued an emergency protective order mandating that Aubry stay at least 100 yards away from Berry, Martinez, and Nahla, reports TMZ.

Just a day before the Thanksgiving Day brawl, the group all attended the same holiday party at a home in Beverly Hills, where Berry reportedly “handed off” Nahla to her father. That night, Aubry and his daughter were spotted at The Grove where they saw a movie together.

Halle Berry and Ex Co-Parent in Africa

Halle Berry and her estranged boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, flew to South Africa on Sunday where Berry will spend the next several months taping the film Dark Tide.

Berry and Aubry split after 5 years but not before conceiving their beautiful 2 year old daughter, Nahla.  Although the two broke up and have not yet worked out permanent custody arrangements, they will be living together in a home that was rented for Berry while she’s on location. Aubry, a successful supermodel, did not want to miss out on months of seeing his daughter and has decided to move half way around the world to take over parenting duty while Berry works. Berry 43, will pay Aubry 34, to be her full-time nanny while she works.

In May a source told Radar the following:

It’s been pretty difficult for Gabriel to see Nahla the last few weeks. He’s really getting sick of it and it’s getting to the point where he is seriously considering his options regarding pursuing permanent custody. The latest issue is that Halle is due to move to South Africa during July, August and September to work on a movie and she wants to take Nahla with her full time. That would mean Gabriel not seeing his daughter for three whole months and there’s no way he’s going to allow that.

Gabriel requested that he be allowed to keep Nahla with him in Los Angeles, but Halle wouldn’t let that happen, so the two reached a total stalemate and it started getting nasty, with both of them looking into entering a legal battle.

In the end, they reached an agreement. Basically Halle is going to pay Gabriel to be a kind of full-time nanny and to come to South Africa for the three months she’s there, and to be Nahla’s full-time caregiver.

There have been no reports of the pair permanently reconciling. This arrangement is just so that neither of them have to go several months without seeing their daughter.

Good luck to the Berry/Aubry co-parents!
