Halle Berry, Gabriel Aubry Daughter, Nahla, Subject Of Children's Services Investigation



Following a Thanksgiving day brawl the Los Angeles County Department of Family and Children Services will be formally re-opening an abuse investigation involving Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry's 4-year-old daughter, Nahla, reports RadarOnline.

Aubry and Berry's fiance, Olivier Martinez, both ended up in the hospital after they got in a fight on Nov. 22. Aubry was arrested and is now facing battery and misdemeanor charges. Because Nahla was present during the fight, police formally contacted DCFS after Aubry was arrested, a source told the website.

"Nahla wasn't actually involved in the melee, and by all accounts, Halle whisked her out of the driveway as soon as the fight between Olivier and Gabe started. However, DCFS was contacted because there has been a history of allegations of physical abuse. Social workers will be interviewing Halle, Gabriel and Olivier about what happened on Thanksgiving. DCFS must ensure that Nahla's environment is safe," the source explained to RadarOnline.

In January, Aubry was investigated for criminal child endangerment and battery allegations, after the nanny he employed to care for Nahla claimed that he pushed her into a door while she held his daughter in her arms. The case was later dropped upon the recommendation of DCFS, which ultimately found no evidence that Nahla was in any danger.

Berry and Aubry have been battling for custody of their daughter for months and the actress' request to be allowed to move to France with her daughter was recently rejected by a judge, but the fight between Aubry and Martinez could impact future custody decisions.

On Sunday, TMZ reported that though a judge issued an emergency order of protection -- requiring Aubry to stay 100 yards away from Berry, Nahla and Martinez -- Berry is seeking a another restraining order against Aubry, as the emergency order expires on Tuesday.

TMZ has learned that her lawyers are heading to court early this week to make sure the temporary order of protection becomes more permanent. Sources tell the site, Berry's argument is simple: "If Gabriel can't control himself enough to protect Nahla from emotional trauma, it's too risky for him to be around her, Berry or Martinez."

Team Nahla as always.

I think most people are "blaming" her for how this custody battle got started and escalated, not for forcing the men to throw punches.

Though if people are ignore me, that is dumb.

No, quite a few dumbasses have been saying everything is HAlle's fault, she's a crazy bitch who made them fight each other and instigated, etc. etc.

Oh come on now. Even if she's there shouting 'FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT', it's their fault the fight happened.

What if she had pom poms and a special cheer?

lol i'm going to hell. i'm imagining gabriel and olivier in a sims-like fight with the big cloud of dust and halle cheering "fight!"

but if it helps, nahla is nowhere near the situation in my head. :(

Pfft, even if it was premeditated Olivier Martinez was still the one who made the decision to go through with it.

That's my blame for her end. This whole thing started when Gabriel wanted to have their established custody agreement legally binding.
hunnichild 26th-Nov-2012 09:05 pm (UTC)
Nope, a lot of people were claiming she orchestrated the whole thing, talked Olivier into saying something that would make Gabriel react, etc.
xdecadentx 26th-Nov-2012 09:07 pm (UTC)
I think the timing is suspect, but even if she did, Olivier would have done it and Gabriel would have been the one to react physically.

Somebody commented that 'I'm not saying it's Halle's fault, but she's got crazy in her eyes, so it totally is her fault' basically

so... yeah, they are
xdecadentx 26th-Nov-2012 09:11 pm (UTC)
Then that's just dumb.

People were mad because Halle allowed Oliver to be the one to get Nahla from Aubry, I believe. Why would she put them in that situation?

tbh, until there is concrete proof of who said and did what, a lot of people need to chill the fuck out with their "taking sides."
xdecadentx 26th-Nov-2012 09:23 pm (UTC)
I'm actually thinking it's interesting the conversation was in French, as I'm guessing they're the only 2 who speak it. Could mean we'll never get the truth unless there's camera footage cos both men are going to try and put themselves in a good light.

pepole have to go through custody procedures when they separate and have children. it only gets complicated if one parent is concerned about the stability (mental and physical) of the other. sounds like h thinks g is looe canon and he's not doing a good job proving otherwise.
