Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez Have a ‘Lot of Dirt on Each Other’ Amid Battle Over Son Maceo

There’s zero chance that Halle Berry and ex-husband Olivier Martinez will reach a compromise amid their battle over 13-year-old son Maceo, a source tells Star.

“The hatred between these two is off the charts,” reveals the source. “There’s years and years of ugly history.”

On Thursday, October 1, People reported that the Unfaithful actor, 60, was granted a temporary restraining order against the Oscar-winning actress, 60, as well as modified visitation after he accused her of physically abusing Maceo.

“Olivier’s accusing Halle of being dangerous and saying he needs to protect their son from her, which is something she vehemently denies,” reveals the source. “She’s furious and says all Olivier is doing is trying to alienate her son from her.”

In documents obtained by Star, the Monster’s Ball actress asked that their former custody agreement, which grants her 50/50 custody and tie-breaking authority, be reinstated and that Martinez be forced to attend court-ordered therapy sessions.

“She’s also very quick to point out Olivier’s infamous temper,” the source adds, referencing a 2012 Thanksgiving fistfight he got into with Berry’s ex Gabriel Aubrey, with whom she shares 18-year-old daughter Nahla. “Their relationship was incredibly toxic.”

“Regardless of who is right, they have a whole lot of dirt on each other [and] the more they fight, the more likely it is that one, or both, of them will do some sort of ugly tell all,” says the source. “They’ve already spent a fortune on lawyers and it’s only made things worse. It’s not hard to imagine this dragging on until Maceo is 18.”

However, Martinez’s rep issued a statement to Star in response to our story.

“Mr. Martinez’s paramount concern is the safety and wellbeing of the minor child Maceo,” it read. “He is not interested in mudslinging or disparaging Ms. Berry through the media.”
