A lot of you see Gabriel Aubry as a victim fighting back at the parental alienation and public smearing that he’s suffered at the hands of an ex with a lot more power and resources at her disposal. I don’t think of it as one-sided as that, but I respect your opinion and understand it. I just see both sides as over the top lately, but I do see how it’s more on Halle and how Gabriel is on the defensive role. He is fighting very hard to make sure he still has a relationship with his daughter, Nahla, while Halle is trying to cut him out of Nahla’s life at any cost.

Well now Gabriel is asking for a lot of money in his custody battle, according to both TMZ and Radar. He’s supposedly going for $20k a month child support, which sounds excessive to us, but let’s remember that Halle is worth $70 million. TMZ paints it as Gabriel being greedy, since TMZ gets their stories from camp Halle. Radar, typically camp Gabriel, explains that Gabe is fed up and claims that if he doesn’t get the money he’ll write a tell all about Halle. Now we heard this stuff about the tell all before, but in the earlier version Gabe was too good a person to write one and didn’t want his daughter to have to read it someday. Now he’s claiming that he’s further along in the process of dishing the dirt on Halle, and that he has some six figure offers from major publishers. Does this make him look bad because he wants money, or does this make it look like he’s pushing back from the corner he’s been placed in?

TMZ has learned what Gabriel wants in the way of $$$ — and it’s a lot. We’ve learned Aubry has filed legal docs asking the family law judge to force Halle to give him $15,000 – $20,000 a month for a proper home.

Gabriel has also asked for a laundry list of other things from Halle, including what we’re told is a “very large” amount of money for the little girl’s clothing, as well as money to take the child to Canada to visit his family.

We’re told Halle is fighting Gabriel tooth and nail on his request. The hearing on the money issues was scheduled for Monday, but it’s now been put off until April 9, in part because the family law judge wants to see what the dependency judge does to Gabriel. – From TMZ

Halle Berry is working hard to lock her ex-boyfriend and baby daddy, Gabriel Aubry, into a non-disclosure agreement to prevent the Canadian born model from spilling all about their tumultuous relationship, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

But, it’s going to cost her dearly, as a source tells RadarOnline.com that Gabriel is sick of being portrayed as “an abusive father, a racist and a fool” and is planning to hit Halle where it hurts — in the wallet.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Aubry is being urged by his friends to write a tell-all book about his relationship with Berry. And, although he is wary as he wishes to spare the feelings of the warring couple’s daughter, Nahla, a source close to the situation says he has been approached by publishers offering high six figures.

“Gabe has finally woken up and is going for the money because he knows there is no way he can fight to keep his daughter without it,” the source says. “If he doesn’t get the money he wants from Halle, he is going to go ahead a write a tell-all. Gabe has two separate high six figure offers on the table from NY publishers. Halle is terrified of this happening; it’s her worst nightmare come true — and she’s talking settlement money but locking Gabe into a non disclosure deal. So one way or another he’s going to get paid.

“Gabe has taken a lot of flack without fighting back, but now the gloves are off and he’s going all out. – From Radar

If a woman was asking for $20,000 a month in child support, would we call it excessive? Probably. Many of you wrote in our last post that you would buy Gabriel’s book if he wrote one. I think he’s just using it as leverage to get Halle to both drop her suit trying to strip him of access to their child and pay child support. The more support Gabriel can get from Halle, the more it legitimizes his role in their daughter’s life, or at least that may be how he’s trying to spin it. I doubt he’s going to write a book. If Halle would have played nice from the beginning it would have been much less expensive for her, that’s for sure. The core issue is Nahla and the fact that she deserves to have parents who respect each other’s role in her life. I don’t see Gabriel as doing anything that would make him deserve being shut out like this.
