The messy legal battle between Halle Berry and her ex-husband Olivier Martinez just took a highly emotional turn. Now, Halle’s 18-year-old daughter, Nahla Aubry, is stepping up to fiercely defend her mother in court.
If you have been following the drama, you know that Olivier recently filed for a temporary restraining order, claiming that Halle physically abused their 13-year-old son, Maceo. The explosive allegations left fans completely stunned when Halle Berry faced severe restrictions on her parenting time earlier this month.
However, Nahla is not staying silent. In newly obtained court documents, the 18-year-old strongly denied Olivier’s claims, stating she has “never witnessed her act violently toward anyone.”
“I have never seen my mom hit, slap, choke, grab, or physically abuse Maceo in any way,” Nahla declared in her statement. She explained that while she has seen her mom and brother playfully wrestle and tickle each other, it always ended in laughter—never in tears or pain.
Nahla went on to praise Halle as a “loving and devoted parent” who consistently provides stability, support, and unconditional love. She also expressed her deep concern over how this ugly legal battle is affecting her little brother.
“I was shocked, very sad, and very upset when I learned about Olivier’s allegations against my mom,” Nahla confessed, adding that she feels like an “afterthought” in Olivier’s quest to destroy her mother.
Halle herself has also strongly denied the accusations. In her own declaration, the Oscar-winning actress stated, “I am a victim of domestic violence, and I help victims of domestic violence. I am not a perpetrator of violence. I would never hurt our child.”
As the October 16 court hearing approaches, it is clear that this family drama is far from over.
