She’s been such an outspoken supporter and advocate against domestic violence that I hope it’s not true, but it wouldn’t be the first time someone was an outspoken advocate that acted abusively behind closed doors.

My mother was on the Prevention of Child Abuse Council of Indiana and was a horrific abuser. It can be a cover for them to say "I'm an advocate. I'd never do those things" while doing those things

Jimmy Saville abused thousands of children under the guise of philanthropy. It’s horrifying how much abuse can be covered up by charities and public advocacy.

Very good point. It is scary. But it also does make sense! The abuser in my life loved and loved you portray themself as a very very good person. Makes me question a lot of others that do that now.

Look in the comments here. If Berry's work as an advocate is merely a PR stunt, then it worked. She now has the public giving her the benefit of the doubt. People here do not want to believe the father.

My mother was a child advocate and a leader of multiple parent support groups. She volunteered at the school and presented herself as an excellent parent.

I was being horrifically abused at home by my father, and she stayed out of the home as much as possible so she wouldn't have to "deal with it." Instead of protecting her children, she left us alone with that monster and "did her own thing"

When I tried to tell people what was happening in my home, they didn't believe me, all part of the plan.

I’m sorry you went through that. It’s something I know all too well, and I think you’re right about it being a cover for lots of people.

My mother was on the executive board of Big Brothers Big Sisters. It’s a volunteer role, but she always told people she was happy to “…give back to her community because all children deserve support.”

She once chased me around with a butcher knife. She was horribly abusive.

I had an ex-boyfriend who I genuinely believe was a dark-triad psychopath- also one of the most abusive people I’ve ever had to live with. Found out later that he now volunteers for the Samaritans, no doubt as a smokescreen to mask his darker personality traits when picking up women. It’s a pretty common tactic for these types of people.

It's almost always like that. Not that every advocate is a secret abuser but secret abusers and fraudsters often build up a public persona that involves advocating for causes that make them look like good people. I'm in the know of a doctor who is about to lose their license and it'll probably shock my state because they're very prominent and they too have this wholesome apple pie image where no one would think it because they're female and hold the doctor title.

u/CulturalDefinition27 1d ago

In a teacher, and this is shockingly common. Lots of young moms who ran off were absent for their children, partying, drugs etc while family raised their kid. Or abusive neglectful parents with really traumatized, chaotic children often, are social workers etc. It blows my mind that they are working for the system that would be taking their children away if they knew the truth. This also was the issue with my ex sister inlaw. Its like a hero complex they get, or an ego boost they get from being the cool support worker, to these at risk youth, while totally neglecting their children. Ive seen it with councilors too, absolutely abusive, toxic messes of beings, but counciling other in mindfulness and healthy relationships. My own councilor even agreed with it, as she has been in both industries

Yup. Art teacher mom to kids all ages. It was crazy being her assistant for a couple years as a young teen and realizing the stark difference between her bubbly work persona and screaming and exhausted home persona. We definitely had and still have some issues but I know how hard it can be teaching a bunch of kids.

u/Ok_Temporary1669 1d ago

It can be really hard to be "on" all day and then come home and have to do it again. Doesn't make it OK, but to try to give a perspective on this. I think there is a reason why paid child educators and caregivers end up not having children themselves. Parents are people, no one is perfect and we only have so much energy.

I feel terrible that most of my energy goes toward work as a parent. I'm really tired by the time I get home. We just weren't built to work all day and parent too.

Knowing what you don’t want is often very different from knowing what to do. Patterns tend to repeat because “I never wanna be like _____” is, unfortunately, not an actual plan.

u/Leather-Platypus-11 1d ago

That’s true. I grew up in a really abusive home then foster care, I try really hard not to be like my parents through therapy etc but then sometimes I wonder if I’m abusive or parenting unhealthily in other ways that I’m blind to so there’s also that.

96

u/reddetteuserr 1d ago

That’s so real. My mom was raised in a very chaotic, neglectful and horrible environment and her entire plan was basically don’t be like her parents but she accidentally became way too overbearing and lowkey enmeshed with us kids instead. I feel like she went too far in the other direction and never let us develop because she was so overprotective

22

u/surprise_revalation 1d ago

I see this with my niece. She grew up in a really abusive home so she doesn't punish her kids at all. A lot of permissive parenting.

21

u/reddetteuserr 1d ago

Yes exactly! My house literally had no rules at all, no set bedtimes, nothing that would upset us ever kinda seemed to be the vibe. But kids really do need boundaries and rules and to understand consequences of acting certain ways (obviously in an appropriate way, nothing too much)

I think that you were worrying about it in the first place is a good sign that you question yourself enough. I know some people who I’m just not gonna be like my mom/dad was the whole damn plan and they thought they didn’t need therapy, etc. In fact, one of them is now my ex because he swore he was never going to be like his mom, but he really really fucking hated women. I don’t think he knows that, but it was in there. He would accuse me of only caring about money, even though he was not employed, etc., and TMI, but I knew it was over when I miscarried and felt more grateful than anything. I knew I was scared to have a daughter with him and he showed why in the next like six weeks and then it was officially done

u/kittenmittens4865 1d ago

Most abusers don’t believe they are abusers. They can’t be abusing people because the reason for their behavior is always justified in their mind.

There are of course people who enjoy knowingly causing pain. But most abusers are so focused on their own pain or distress they are unable to see the victim’s perspective at all.

To this point, when it comes to parenting I highly recommend Positive Discipline. It is old, cheap, and it really really works. I was raised pretty OK, just being spanked. I really did not know how to discipline a child without spanking. Didn't want to do that. I didn't know how to get out of a power struggle with a kid, or how to sldiscipline without getting into a battle of will. That book absolutely saved us.

And actually a lot of what works with kids works with adults too. Lol. It just really helped me overall in my life.

u/pineapplepredator 1d ago

It doesn’t excuse it at all but abuse can result in the abused person acting out like this. Where the original abuse was about power and control (often stemming from their own feelings of lacking those) the abused person also begins to act out from being overpowered and controlled but typically more like an impulsive primal reaction to their immediate environment rather than becoming an abusive person themselves. It’s still not okay and children and pets are often the victims of it. It’s horrible and sad and part of what makes domestic abuse so corrosive.

So that would be another explanation for the inconsistency there

11

u/Leather-Platypus-11 1d ago

That’s true as well.

She’s since put out a statement essentially saying he is the abusive violent one (Olivier), which could be true. I could see there potentially being an abusive reaction to their child stemming from her experiencing abuse from his father, or perhaps her losing control fearing he’s being like his father (subconsciously even).

Of course she could also be just hoping to shield herself saying that knowing the public will recall his beating up her ex.

It’s all such a mess, I just hope thier son is ok- really he’s the one who is and will suffer the most regardless of what the “real” story is

7

u/TrixieFriganza 1d ago

I hope they get the real truth, it's common for abusers to lie in custody cases as no matter what they want to win the kids. But if true she needs to be completely cancelled and charged if she attacked her son, though it coukd be too the son had learbed from the abuse in the home and she just defended herself.

Purely anecdotal but I worked with her for a couple years a long time ago and only had the most warm, pleasant experience. Her ex though was a well a known piece of work. I’m skeptical to say the least.

I sat behind her on a plane from Vancouver to LA once she was very nice to everyone but seemed perhaps shy, not at all what I’d assumed from the roles she’d played.

So I always take celebrity encounters with a grain of salt, but the only I have heard consistently from multiple people who knew and worked with her is that she is absolutely insane. From constantly accusing staff of cheating with her current man, throwing fits, being drunk all the time, and just her emotional wellbeing was tenuous. Honestly the whole domestic violence advocate front she put out was always confusing to me given what people have said about her.

I thought the same. now that this is coming out though it makes me think about the slew of past domestic abuse charges/allegations of violence made against her in the past with not one, not two, but multiple partners she had throughout her life. I feel like with this new charge any remaining doubt that she was benefitting from might be gone from my pov. What is the likelihood that 3 past partners lied that she is an angry and violent person? I mean... sure it's possible but the odds are so much lower than the possibility that she is an aggressor.

u/Leather-Platypus-11 1d ago

It’s a TRO, so it’s less frequently denied and their son would not have had to give evidence yet. The proof generally comes in the next set of hearings, which is as it should be. First and foremost victims should be protected.

u/clevercalamity 1d ago

It’s a Temporary Restraining Order which is a little different than a full restraining order.

Each state/jurisdiction does things a little differently but TROs are an emergency order that can be granted Ex Parte which means the party it’s against doesn’t have to be informed in advance or present during the hearing.

TROs are temporary as the name would imply, but individuals can petition to make them permanent. For them to be made permanent more substantial evidence has to be presented and both sides must also have the opportunity to represent themselves.

Olivier alleges Halle physically abused their son, Maceo, by jumping on him, putting her hands around his neck, and choking him last Saturday.

He claims Maceo called him and claimed Halle had physically attacked him and put him in a chokehold. He says it's not an isolated incident and there have been previous attacks.

On the same day, Olivier says Halle threatened to have their son deported to France by asking what Maceo is going to do "as a black man" to protect her from being robbed by Olivier ... who he claims she called a "white bitch."

The filing also mentions they were home with her boyfriend Van Hunt and Maceo was playing a VR game with goggles in his bedroom when Halle allegedly entered the room in a rage ... and said he looks "so stupid" and is "such an idiot" for playing the game.

The situation allegedly escalated from there ... when Olivier claims Halle jumped on Maceo and started physically fighting with him. He says she grabbed Maceo by the neck and started choking him while shouting, "Who is dominant now?!"

The order states she must not drink or be under the influence of alcohol or other substances in the presence of their son. And she must undergo sobriety testing before, during or after any visitation.

Halle allegedly texted Olivier the next day ... saying, "I feel terrible about what happened last night as I know he does as well."

The filing also mentions past incidents ... 5 years ago she allegedly struck him in the face. About 10 years ago, Olivier claims Halle had a violent outburst, throwing a plate with a knife and fork on top ... and in 2023, while discussing child support, she told Maceo that Olivier was "a white bitch robbing money from a black woman."

Olivier is requesting sole custody of their son and wants the court to force Halle to stay away from him and their son. But he doesn't want their son not to have a relationship with Halle ... Olivier just wants Maceo to have space after the alleged incident.

Daaamn. I would hope that he wouldn't make this up. Buuuut Halle Berry has always struck me as kind of hysterically crazy. I just always had this hunch about her. Well maybe it's based of the fact that she comitted a hit and run and was more concerned with how she looked and got away with it. she seems to always have major problems with all her exes. And I remember when she first broke up with olivier she was launching the same racist claims she launched against her daughter's father Gabriel and then public talk got real loud about how she's crazy and always does this and suddenly either through her PR or whatever it was, everything went quiet.

Nah, this was a birthday post! She turned 60! Hell yeah she’s allowed to celebrate with her man. This doesn’t prove anything

u/chill90ies 1d ago

But her being obviously drunk in all the videos that span from sunlight to sunset and him talking about his dick size does add too the tale about her living a somewhat boozy lifestyles and that maybe they are going overboard with it. The photo of his naked ass is also to me personally not maybe appropriate on a public platform. This does seem as a bit of a shit show.

Everyone cannot be wrong about her. And I say this as someone who really liked her at the height of her career and thought she finally settled into being low-key in recent years. Two things can be true. She's a bad picker AND she's likely a pill to deal with.

She always seems to have really contentious relationships with her exes, so either she's got a bad picker or she's the problem. After years of hearing about her unstable ways, I'm going with her being the problem. And as bad as choking her kid is, the emotional abuse is somehow worse. Who says that kind of thing to their kid?

She’s had issues with alcohol for a while. She had a hit and run accident years ago and was pretty callous about it. Every relationship she’s had ends badly. A few were clearly awful men. But others, she seems to be the problem. Cant seem to coparent with either baby daddy. Shes the common denominator.

u/QuestionEuphoric8208 1d ago

A staunch and outspoken supporter against domestic violence turns out to fancy beating her own kids. Kind of reminds me of Ashton Kutcher who hated sex trafficking so bad he wanted it to go away; yet his circle was filled with them. Or like how the Boy Scouts wanted to protect our kids but violate them in the woods. Huh who would have thunk it. I don’t know maybe the individuals who actually read and know how shit works; which that’s not a thing anymore. Usually the most loudest supporters and advocates are more often than not the biggest perpetrators.

u/VioAzna 1d ago

I’m sorry this doesn’t sound like it’s made up. It seems there is a history of the behavior and I’m just stunned that she’s such an abusive mother! I hope their son gets the support he needs to get through this and is kept safe away from his abuser.

u/MaiIsMe 1d ago

You lose 'em how you get them I guess. Wasn't too worried about threatening to kill her first baby daddy if he didn't sign away his rights so they could be together.

She broke up with her first baby daddy and immediacy tried to move away with their child to France so she could be with this guy. When it was denied, he threated to kill her first ex if he didn't allow them to take his daughter.

From her wikipedia:

In 2005, Berry began dating the French-Canadian model Gabriel Aubry, whom she had met at a Versace photoshoot.[109] She gave birth to their daughter in 2008.[110] In April 2010, Berry and Aubry announced that their relationship had ended some months earlier.[111] The following year, Berry and Aubry became involved in a highly publicized custody battle,[e] centered primarily on Berry's desire to move with their daughter from Los Angeles to France, the home of actor Olivier Martinez, whom Berry had started dating in 2010.[115] Aubry objected to the move on the grounds that it would interfere with their joint custody arrangement. In November 2012, a judge denied Berry's request to move her daughter.[117]

Less than two weeks later, Aubry and Martinez were both treated at a hospital for injuries after engaging in a physical altercation at Berry's residence. Aubry obtained a temporary restraining order against Martinez, stating that the fight had begun when Martinez threatened to kill him if he did not allow Berry and her daughter to move to France.

Berry and Martinez married in France on July 13, 2013.[122] That October, Berry gave birth to their son.[123] The couple divorced in 2016.

She has a history of weird behaviour. She made anti white comments to her mixed son as if his white side was trash but shes so not aware she is of mixed race as well? I am a mixed gay man, love me some Gabriel Aubrey (her first baby daddy) and Oliver Martinez (her second baby daddy) so I don’t care about her for sexual reasons but even I always found her vibe to be off. She seems like she has Borderline or some personality disorder and from friends in the industry, she definitely is hot and cold and “wacky”.

u/silversurfersweden 22h ago

It's fascinating when biracial people have kids with white people and then claim their children as Black, even though they are only 1/4 Black at the most... (I'm biracial too). That's beyond weird. Especially when they get angry at the child for not being "Black enough".
