Halle Berry’s ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry was arrested for investigation of battery on Thursday after he and the Oscar-winning actress’s current boyfriend got into a fight at her Hollywood Hills home, police said.
Aubry, 37, was booked for investigation of a battery, a misdemeanour, and released on $20,000 (Dh73,462) bail, according to online jail records. He’s scheduled to appear in court on December 13.
Aubry came to Berry’s house Thanksgiving morning and police responded to a report of an assault, said Los Angeles Police Officer Julie Boyer. Aubry was injured in the altercation and was taken to a hospital where he was treated and released.
Emails sent to Berry’s publicist, Meredith O’Sullivan, and Aubry’s family law attorney, Gary Fishbein, were not immediately returned.
Berry and Aubry have been involved in a custody dispute involving their four-year-old daughter, Nahla. The proceedings were sealed because the former couple are not married. Both appeared in the case as recently as November 9, but neither side commented on the outcome of the hearing.
Berry has been dating French actor Olivier Martinez, and he said earlier this year that they are engaged.
Berry on Saturday had tight security when she and Nahla attended a live performance of Yo Gabba Gabba in Hollywood with her four year-old-daughter, reports thesun.co.uk. Four policemen on motorbikes surrounded the actress.
