The inevitable end game in Halle Berry’s custody battle with her ex Gabriel Aubry is finally playing out. We’ve seen Halle Berry go off screaming at the paparazzi outside her daughter’s school, and we’ve seen her playing happy family on the beach with her new fiance, and smiling at the paparazzi when it suits her. It’s all part of her plan to make a case that the paparazzi in America are so dangerous that she should be granted permission by the court to move with her daughter to France. Nevermind that a two or three hour move outside of LA would accomplish the same thing. I’m hoping the judge feels the same way, but we’ll see.
TMZ reports that Halle has subpeoned a paparazzo to testify in her custody case, and that she plans on using video to prove how dangerous a situation it can be for Nahla.
Halle Berry is going to court today to convince a judge to let her move to Paris with 4-year-old Nahla — over the vigorous objections of baby daddy Gabriel Aubry — and Halle’s secret weapon is the paparazzi.
Halle will try to prove it’s unsafe for her to continue living in the U.S. because the paparazzi have created extreme danger for her and Nahla. We’ve been in touch with various paparazzi agencies and know Halle’s lawyer, Stephen Kolodny, has been on the hunt for video he can show the judge … hoping to show Halle and Nahla being “terrorized” by aggressive photogs. The trial will become a video presentation, which will include a crazy scene where Halle had to call the Beverly Hills Police so she and Nahla could make an escape from a restaurant.
Ironically, Halle has subpoenaed her arch-enemy, paparazzo Andrew Deetz. You’ll recall, Halle went nuclear on the guy (see video) after he dogged Nahla at her school. Sources connected with Deetz tell TMZ … Deetz has not only been subpoenaed, he will gladly testify it’s his job to be uber-aggressive.
And we’ve spoken with sources connected with expert witnesses who will testify Halle and Nahla will get safe haven in France, where it’s a crime to harass celebrities in public.
I believe that Halle really does hate the paparazzi. She had a guy spy on at home in 2008 and I remember Halle telling Tyra Banks in 2009 that she found it “horrifying” when a lady recognized Nahla on her own when she wasn’t with her. But if that’s the case, she can rectify the situation by getting better security, moving to a more secluded area as I mentioned or just taking more precautionary measures to avoid the paparazzi. She’s had years to do this, and now her only solution is to hightail it off to France. That incident in which she screamed at a photographer is looking mighty convenient now. This is about limiting Gabriel’s access to their daughter, and using the paparazzi as an excuse. Honestly I’m surprised she’s still even with Olivier Martinez. I expected them to break up by now.
If Halle is successful in her bid to move to France, at least she’ll have to foot the bill for Gabriel to visit his daughter. I hope she gets shot down in court, but we’ll see.

I have grown to loath this woman. I pray she loses. For Nahla’s sake.
HAlle is one vindictive crone.
Nahla needs ready access to her Dad.
Word!
DAMMIT!! I have to take the kittehs to the vet for their shots mid-morning, and they don’t have WIFI! (I don’t want to miss the cray-cray.)
Oh, Olivier will be gone soon enough, mark my words. Just as soon as she’s gotten what she wants out of playing “happy family” for the judge.
I am still puzzled about this allege threat in LA. That the only way for Halle to be safe is to live in France.
So to be awful and point out the obvious. The most famous woman in the world died in a tunnel in Paris… being chased by the paparazzi.
All this has been about from the get go. Was to remove Gabriel from Nahla’s daily life.
And I am not convinced that the boyfriend is interested in living in France full time.
Considering he is a business owner in Florida.
Plus he has those others girls on the side in Florida and New York. I would think those poor girls would get lonely without Martinez being in the States. 🙂
I’m pretty sure the paps aren’t as big a problem in Canada as they are in LA, maybe she and Nahla should move to Aubrey’s home town
Brilliant observation about Di-thank you! Hope the judge reads this!
Hoping she loses this one — and every single lawsuit she files in the future.
Because she’ll keep trying, we should know that by now. She’ll stop for nothing, she’s too delusional for that.
*She will stop AT nothing.
Delusional and selfish.
And crazy.
What happens if Gabe and his team prove it’s her and her people calling the paps in the first place? She seems to get an awful lot of attention which she didn’t before. And what happens when she and Olivier breakup which they will? Does she stay in France or will she just move to another country to make it hard for Gabe to see his daughter? If some off the planet judge gives her what she want’s I hope she has to pay for all of Gabe’s visit’s and he wants to go every 2 weeks or something all on her dime. Or maybe Gabe will move to France? He can model anywhere and that would really make hot headed Halle mad.
Good comment! I just think this women is playing a game & what’s sad is she is trying to cut her child’s father out of her life. He really does seem like a good father that’s what gets up my goat. I can’t believe Oliver hadn’t seen her for what she is. Maybe it’s the Aussie coming out in me, but he should have stayed with KM.
I find this woman to be reprehensible. This entire “safety” issue has been used by her in an effort to get her daughter away from her ex. She is as low as it gets.
Unfortunately for Berry this would make a grey argument for Gabriel having primary custody. Any judge worth his salt will see through this ploy to alienate her father and shut it down. God help this poor little child.
Yup, and they can move to Canada where she can lead a normal paparazzi-free life.
It is so well documented the hateful mindset and vindictive desire of her crazy need to separate the daughter from her father.., how will she explain herself later..
It seems like the judge on this case has shown almost Solomon-like wisdom so far. Let us pray fro the sake of poor Nahla that this gift for wisdom on the part of the judge continues.
I hope everything works out in Nahla’s favour today and she gets to live in the same country as both her parents.
I also hope she doesn’t grow up with too many issues having a mother as vindictive as Halle.
Was just thinking the same thing, that I hope the mother’s hostile behaviors and volatility don’t permanently scar the child.
I feel really sorry for Nahla…growing up with a borderline mother is a toxic emotional experience. I am still recovering.
I can’t even with this Bish…… Hey Halle I hear Kansas or Kentucky has a low drive by Paparazzi rate. How about you try one of these States on for size, and guess what theres many others to choose from too! Wow imagine , There’s a great big country out there outside of LA. I find it very hard to believe all of the US is too dangerous for her. She’s a psycho.
What was the last hit movie she was in? Her fame at this point is tied to this nasty custody battle and is the primary reason the paps follow her so much. If she would calm down in that area she wouldn’t be followed by the paps because there wouldn’t be much interest in her. She isn’t the most famous or sought after person in LA so I don’t understand how she has it any worse than the others there. Other celebs have had stalkers and they take the logical measures to protect themselves. I have never heard of anyone moving to France for the reasons she is claiming. It’s so transparent. Children need their fathers. Not mommy’s flavor of the month who is playing daddy. I just cannot see a judge separating a father and his child on such thin reasoning. Won’t she have to come back to the US to work? Won’t she have to travel to other countries to film? It’s not like she is going to exist in a vacuum if she moves to France. Why uproot a little girl from all she has ever known to move to a country she knows nothing about? When she breaks up with her boyfriend will she stay in France? A country she has no cultural, familial or linguistic ties to? Poor Nahla. A nut for a mom who is being so shortsighted and vindictive that she would do anything to keep her dad out of her life. I use to be a fan of hers but those days a long over. She is such an ugly person to me now because of her actions.
All she has to do is LEAVE LA. she doesn’t have to take the baby halff way across the world.
I grew up with no father and I am SO SICK of these women who are in a position where they have men actively wanting to take part in the child’s upbringing and do anything they can to road block that.
I don’t know much about Gabriel Aubry, but he seems (at the very least) to want to take an active role in his kid’s upbringing.
If Halle was a TRUE single mother (ie. not a millionaire and actually had to get up and go to work everyday without the aid of housekeepers/nannies/bodyguards etc) you could bet your ass she would be HUNTING THIS DUDE DOWN to try and get him to help her.
Makes me sick
Yeah, it’s a weird move pretending France is the only way to protect your child. I hope she doesn’t get the permission. She probably has a romantic view of living in France, but wouldn’t she still spend much time in LA? Or is her career pretty much over? 😉
It would be so refreshing if Halle stopped thinking about HERSELF, and started thinking about what’s best for her daughter. Like, oh say a FATHER that wants to be involved with his child’s upbringing.
If a father wants a relationship with their child and actively wants to be a part of their life they have to fight tooth and nail for it. They’re basically ripped a new a-hole just to have a relationship with their children. It’s brutal…lots of unfit mother/fathers out there for sure but there are so many good ones too that it only hurts the child in the long term.
My bf is going through this right now. His ex kidnapped their son and took him to another country. He ended up getting his son back to our country after waiting 9 months on the courts to prove she did kidnap him and it was police enforced to return the child. But it’s a battle for custody to keep him here. The mother could care less if their son has no relationship with the father and she is using their poor son as a weapon to get her way. That is a crime in itself and the mothers out there that do it are evil, selfish and not at all thinking about their children’s well-being.
I don’t know (or care really) if she’s crazy or not, but those stories about the paps give me the chills.
I cannot imagine what that would feel like…poor Nahla.
THAT f*cking baguette increases his douchiness 1000%. 😡
LOL! Come on, RHONYC-he’s FRENCH-you gotta give him a free pass on the baguette.
Besides, you know that if someone put a fresh baguette in front of us, we would both eat the sh*t out of it. Put some butter on it and that thing wouldn’t stand a chance! 🙂
i know, i know…i guess i’m still pissed that he let his looks hit the wall after ‘UNFAITHFUL’.
what a f*cking waste. *pst* 🙄
i know who’s fine a*s would still be ‘butterin’ my bread’ if i were Halle. job or no job. 😉
LOL! SO agreeeeeeee.
After Unfaithful he was my Number One for a long time. I finally had to retire him due to his haggard appearance.
No buttering indeed. 🙁
And it is quite an impressive baguette he’s got there….
Mmm-hmmm, TEAM AUBRY…all day errryday! 😆
I found it odd when she suddenly approached the pappers at Nahla’s school screaming like a banshee.
She has so much money/resources that if she wanted to she could live in a gated community instead of next to Harvey Levin from TMZ.
This woman is a cold calculating shrew incapable of putting her kids needs first.
Gabe deserves more access to Nahla than Ollie and I hope the Judge knocks her back.
Here are pictures of her old nose, breasts and before her plastic surgeries.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2188473/Halle-Berry-unrecognisable-1986-Miss-World-hopeful.html
I think she was horrified her daughter was recognized when she wasn’t around because that means Halle is no longer relevant and as we all know Halle is number one. I am so disgusted with the way this is playing out and how every thing seems to rule in her favor that I have actually had to take as step back from reading stuff about her because I realized this issue is so important to me that I was becoming too emotionally invested. So here’s hoping this narcissistic beast gets put in her place by the judge, but I have a feeling that won’t happen the judge does not seem very intelligent. Her actions at parental alienation and narcissistic personality disorder are so obvious, in fact they are textbook I don’t see how anyone could see otherwise.
Team Gabriel.
He seems more stable, even though he has limited visitation. I think it was a ploy on her part and the judge bought it, not that he really needs supervised visits.
No proof of this, obviously, just a gut feeling.
Poor Nahla.
She’ll be wanting to leave France when she realizes that the new President there is taxing the wealthy at 75%.
The father does seem very involved and the daughter looks happy with him. It’s cruel to the child to take her half way around the world.
I don’t know if the 75% tax is a done deal, considering how many businesspeople would leave France if that becomes the case, but if true, I hope she doesn’t find any loopholes plus Gabe makes her fly him out there every month and pay for his week long stay, etc. It would serve her right to go almost broke for being so childish. I wonder how long her fiance would stick around then.
Halle has always been overrated in every possible way. Sure, she is good looking but there are thousands of other biracial women who look just as good or better than her. She absolutely did not deserve to win an Oscar; she is a mediocre actress at best. She really doesn’t have a career anymore and her antics dealing with this custody dispute have pretty much destroyed her reputation. Everyone knows she is crazy and vindictive. She needs to take a chill pill and enjoy the millions of dollars she’s made off of her good genes. I am waiting for her to seriously lose it when things fall apart with Martinez.
I’m really hoping the judge says no. But on the off chance he OKs it at least Gabriel will still one up her because he speaks French plus she would be paying him more money to go to France. If he has to go all the way across the world, it should be accommodating. I don’t care if he’s a model or not. Nobody should have to fly across the world to see their kid, nobody.
Sidenote: So Salma Hayek is such good friends with Halle that she attended Halle’s birthday party? May have to re-think my position on Salma. Remember, like atracks like.
Isn’t Salma married to the guy that fathered the model’s (was it Evangelista?) kid but has nothing to do with the child and had to be sued to pay child support? Sorry, I don’t think much of any woman who wants to be involved with a guy who doesn’t want to have any responsibility or relationship with a child he fathered (the exception being a guy who, with the bio mom, made the difficult decision to put a child up for adoption)
Olcranky, I agree with you. I totally forgot about that.
You can just sense the love between Father & Daughter. Its in the expressions in nearly every photo. I really hate when other partners come in the equation and strut around with them like it is their son/daughter a la Leann Rimes.
These people are so quick to be intimate with anothers child. If this were me I would sure take my time before holding another womans child so intimately.
Maybe its just me but the bond between mother/father & child is sacred, this Martinez guy seems to be violating that holding Nahla as if she were his, yuck.
She’s despicable and this is only what we know about, I imagine whats going on behind closed doors is far worse.
@Imelda,
You are so right and that’s what celebs do they breakup with the baby mama/papa and then immediately shove someone else in their kid’s life. Look at JHo, she is dating a 24 year old and I saw pics of her leaving the airport in Brazil walking hand in hand out in front with her boytoy while her mom and someone else carried the kids out behind them just like they were luggage. It shows how secondary her kids are in her life. She and her needs are number one. There are too many pics of Caspar holding the twins. If I was Marc I would be livid that some boytoy, someone who is only in their life temporarly is running around with my kids playing dad. I mean we saw Kate Hudson do this before she finally captured another rocker.
You’re criticizing him for holding his fiancee’s child? I don’t get it. Personally, if the man I’ve been dating for over two years WASN’T comfortable holding my child, I’d have a problem with it. The fact that he does just shows that he is comfortable and affectionate towards a child that is technically not of his DNA and I think that is to be commended, not criticized.
agreed. there are too many times a parent is angry when a step-parent has an appropriate (side-eye to LR) and good relationship with a child and, instead, would prefer a distant or adversarial relationship between them. If you love your child, shouldn’t you be glad/relieved that your ex’s new partner loves and is a source of support for that child?
Most of the time yes, but not if your ex is trying to remove you from the picture then no it’s not so commendable.
makes me sad that she’s willingly trying to seperate a loving dad from his daughter, there are too many kids out there with dads who don’t want them. it’s extremely selfish on her part and when Nahla’s old enough to figure it out there will be hell to pay for Halle..
Hey Halle, ‘Good Times’ called, and Willona would like her wig back..
“Happy Birthday Halle!”
Martinez has turned into such a dud! all the hotness has evaporated. and his rolled up jeans–I just can’t. Halle, she needs to be scolded. and someday soon enough NAHLA will be the one to do it.
I used to love Halle; now, because of her obvious, cruel machinations and using her daughter as a pawn to get back at her ex, and keep her child from having a meaningful relationship with her father, a father that WANTS to be involved, I will never EVER pay to see her in a movie again. I cant’ stand the sight of Halle Berry.
Nobody else is watching these pictures and thinking “God Olivier, get some new jeans PLEASE!”? Just me?
Btw I don’t know if it was on purpose, but in the pictures above Nahla looks happy with GA and kindo miserable with OM… maybe it’s just casuality in those pictures, BUT.
@ O Kitten – I do see your point but to see one pic of Gabriel holding his child like that and then to see Olivier doing the same thing has gotta burn him, especially in light of whats going on. Its not quite the same as say a “normal” situation and I’m not saying this isn’t where you’d want to be in time with your partners children, just if it were me I’d be proceeding with caution so as not to offend anyone.
And he was pulling this s-it very early on in the relationship and I dont think he’s in it to stick around or has Nahla’s best interest at heart. If that were the case why doesn’t he talk some sense into Halle or at least not be an accomplice to her actions.
Halle’s got, what? a 2-3 year burn on relationships? Aubry et al should just delay. OM will be gone by 2014, latest.
I hope the judge takes custody away from her and gives it to the dad. Let miss crazy go and seethe child when Gabesays it is ok and fly back and forth from paris or wherever she wanta to move too. If she is in so much danger the child has no business living with her. Time for the judge to shut this down and put this little liar in her place,
Halle using paparzzi as excuse to separate her daughter from the father who has so far won joint custody and substantial child support settlement from Halle as he is a highly involved father in his daughter’s life. Halle has fought him the whole way. And this is just another attempt to gain sole custody, reverse the child support settlement through what is called “a change of circumstances”.
I don’t think GA would take full custody. He isn’t asking for full custody and she needs both her parents but maybe short term it would be good for her to learn a lesson. All of this court nonsense is taking away energy that could be focused on Nahla.
I hope she loses. There is no reason to take a child from his/her father when they are trying to be a good father (some exceptions to apply). Halle seems like she is being selfish. She could manage the paps by moving to another state, not another country.
Really I’m puzzled. Vanessa Paradis thought it was better for her children to let them stay in LA at least during school year. I can’t figure anything of this need of moving to France. O. Martinez has not been very strong in the fidelity part so far but, he proved to be strong in giving help during bad times, so… It may explain his role, for now.
