Halle Berry's Daughter Nahla, 18, Files Court Statement Defending Her Mom Against Abuse Claims

Halle Berry’s custody battle with ex-husband Olivier Martinez just shifted in a major way, and the person at the center of it is her 18-year-old daughter. Nahla Aubry filed a declaration in court stating she has never seen her mother hit, slap, choke, grab, or physically abuse her younger brother Maceo in any way. She also called Berry a loving and devoted parent and rejected claims that her mom made racially insensitive remarks.

The case stems from allegations by Martinez, who accused Berry of choking their 13-year-old son during a September 26 altercation. Martinez also raised other claims about past incidents. Following the allegations, a judge temporarily granted him primary custody, limiting Berry to court-ordered visitation. Berry denies all of the allegations and is fighting to have their 50/50 custody arrangement reinstated.

What makes this situation stand out is how rare it is for a celebrity’s child to speak publicly in a legal dispute. Nahla, now legally an adult, chose to put her statement on the record, which adds a new layer to an already complicated case. The next hearing is scheduled for October 16, so stay with us as more details emerge.
