Halle Berry’s 18-year-old daughter, Nahla, files a legal declaration defending her mother after ex-husband Olivier Martinez accuses Berry of abusing their son, 13. According to the accounts, Nahla says she has never seen her mother act violently and provides her statement to the Los Angeles Superior Court.
The dispute is part of an ongoing custody battle. Martinez has sought sole custody and a domestic violence restraining order, and Berry counters those claims by submitting evidence, including video, to challenge Martinez’s allegations. Other outlets frame the story around the courtroom filings: Martinez’s request for restraining orders and custody, and Berry’s attempt to rebut the accusations through additional materials. Overall, the reporting centers on competing claims and responses filed in connection with the case.
