Halle Berry’s Daughter Defends Her Mother in Court

Halle Berry’s 18-year-old daughter, Nahla Aubry, has spoken out in court to defend her mother amid a bitter custody dispute involving Berry’s ex-husband, Olivier Martinez.

Nahla Says She Never Witnessed Violence

In a declaration filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Nahla said she had never witnessed her mother act violently toward anyone. She also denied seeing Berry physically abuse her younger brother, Maceo.

The Dispute Centers on Maceo

Martinez has accused Berry of physically abusing their 13-year-old son and has sought sole custody. His allegations include an incident in September that he says involved physical force against the teenager.

Berry has strongly denied the allegations. Her legal team has described Martinez’s claims as meritless and misleading.

Nahla Describes Her Mother Differently

Nahla said she has lived with Maceo for most of his life and described Berry as a loving and supportive parent. She also expressed concern about the impact of the dispute on her brother and the wider family.

Her statement provides a direct account from someone who says she has spent much of Maceo’s life living alongside him and their mother.

Berry’s Parenting Time Was Temporarily Limited

A temporary court order has restricted Berry’s contact with Maceo while the custody dispute continues. The current arrangement allows specific parenting time, with another hearing scheduled for October 16.

The Court Battle Continues

The allegations remain disputed, and no final finding has established that Berry abused her son. The court is expected to consider evidence and arguments from both parents as it reviews the custody arrangements.
