Halle Berry’s 13-Year-Old Son Testifies For Nearly 4 Hours In Court As Actress Battles Ex-Husband Over Ab*se Allegations-His Testimony Will Remain Sealed

Halle Berry’s ongoing custody battle with ex-husband Olivier Martinez took another emotional turn Monday when their 13-year-old son, Maceo, testified in court about allegations involving his mother.

According to Page Six, Maceo spent nearly four hours testifying at Los Angeles Superior Court on October 19, although some reports placed his testimony closer to three hours.

Judge Shelley Kaufman cleared the courtroom to protect the teenager’s privacy, keeping his testimony sealed.

The atmosphere was reportedly “icy,” with Berry and Martinez exchanging tense looks. Berry arrived alongside her fiancé, Van Hunt, while Martinez attended with Maceo.

Martinez’s attorney, Patrick Baghdaserians, defended his client, stating, “Olivier is a great, loving father. He is very caring and only wants the best for his son.”

The courtroom showdown follows Martinez’s allegations that Berry ch*ked Maceo during a September 26 disagreement involving virtual reality goggles. He also accused the actress of calling their son “such an idiot” and requested sole custody.

On October 1, Martinez obtained a temporary restraining order that restricted Berry’s contact with Maceo.

Berry has strongly denied the ab*se allegations and requested that the court restore their previous 50-50 custody arrangement.

Her 18-year-old daughter, Nahla Aubry, also defended her mother, saying she was “shocked” by the accusations and had never witnessed Berry mistreat Maceo.

Although Berry previously opposed her son testifying, the judge permitted him to address the restraining order allegations.

The hearing could continue Tuesday.
