Halle Berry Seeks Sole Custody Of Son, Citing ‘Detrimental Behavior’ Of Her Ex

Halle Berry is seeking sole custody of her 10-year-old son, Maceo.

The Academy Award-winning actress filed court documents alleging that the child’s father, French actor Olivier Martinez, is a hindrance to the child’s “best interests.”

Berry is requesting custody “or in the alternative, tie-breaking authority to make all decisions” about her son’s education, health and therapy needs, per legal documents obtained by People. The 58-year-old star claims she “is not perfect” but is “always seeking to prioritize the best interests” of her son.

The filing mentioned the child’s “educational challenges” and other concerns the actress had as she “fought for tutoring, an educational assessment and finding an environment that was suitable to Maceo’s needs.”

“[Martinez’s] actions and lack of cooperation with respect to Maceo’s psychological and educational needs have been detrimental to Maceo’s health and welfare,” the filing states. “Respondent’s refusal to allow early interventions have caused Maceo to fall further behind in school, caused Maceo’s acting out behaviors to worsen, and caused further damage to Maceo’s and Petitioner’s relationship,” Fox News reported

The document includes Berry’s claims that Martinez has been “oppositional, unmoving and withheld his consent for years.”

“Because of [Martinez]’s opposition to any interventions whatsoever for years and because of [Martinez]’s prioritizing soccer activities over Maceo’s educational and psychological well-being, Maceo’s educational and behavioral challenges worsened, and he continued to fall further behind in school,” the document states.

Berry claimed Maceo would “act out” toward her after “longer periods of custody” with his father. She also stated that Martinez said Maceo was “old enough to make his own decisions.”

Berry and Martinez finalized their divorce last year following a lengthy court battle. The actress was ordered to pay her ex-husband close to $8,000 monthly for child support in addition to 4.3% on any income she makes over $2 million, per Fox News. Berry also pays for Maceo’s private school tuition, extracurriculars, and health care.

The actress previously went through a messy custody battle with her previous ex-husband, Gabriel Aubry, over their daughter. Their fight turned physical in 2012 when Aubry was arrested following an altercation stemming from him wanting to keep Berry from taking their daughter to France to live with Martinez, who she was dating at the time. 

Leftists Behind DNC Protests Include Several Anti-Semitic Groups

The leftist organizations behind the anti-Israel demonstrations at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week consist of an agglomeration of some of the most viciously anti-Semitic groups extant.

The number of demonstrators is expected to reach roughly 100,000 people.

“Many of the March on the DNC members have led and participated in antisemitic and pro-terror events since the Hamas-orchestrated October 7th massacre – including on U.S. campuses,” NGO Monitor reported, adding:

This includes CODEPINK, Palestinian Feminist Collective, Students for Justice in Palestine Chicago, American Muslims for Palestine Chicago, National Lawyers Guild -Task Force on the Americas/San Francisco Bay Area chapter, ANSWER Coalition – Chicago, Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, Jewish Voice for Peace Chicago, U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN), and National Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).

The members of the March on the DNC also include the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). On October 9, 2023, two days after the brutal Hamas massacre of more than 1200 people in Israel, AFSC published a fact sheet of “5 things you need to know about what’s happening in Israel and Gaza,” which stated, “Violence did not begin with the attacks from Gaza.”

Five days after the brutal Hamas massacre, SJP published a statement saying, “Today, we witness a historic win for the Palestinian resistance: across land, air, and sea, our people have broken down the artificial barriers of the Zionist entity … We must continue to resist directly through dismantling Zionism.”

“JVP (Jewish Voices for Peace) refers to itself as the ‘Jewish wing’ of the Palestinian solidarity movement and as ‘Jews against Zionism,’ notwithstanding the fact that many of its activists are not Jewish,” NGO Monitor noted, adding, “JVP’s declared agenda is to create ‘a wedge’ within the American Jewish community, while working toward the goal of eliminating U.S. economic, military, and political aid to Israel.”

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network was designated a terrorist organization in February 2021 by the Israeli Ministry of Defense, which stated the group was  “a subsidiary of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).” In November 2023, Germany banned Samidoun for violating its Basic Law (Article 9(2)) and its Associations Act, saying the group “impairs and endangers the peaceful coexistence of Germans and foreigners” and “advocates and calls for the use of violence as a means of enforcing political interests.”
