Halle Berry Seeks to Block Son's Testimony in Custody Case

Halle Berry has filed a request in court to stop her 13-year-old son, Maceo, from testifying in her ongoing custody dispute with her ex-husband Olivier Martinez. Berry alleges that Martinez has been coaching Maceo regarding the case, which she claims violates a 2024 court order that prohibits both parents from involving their son in legal matters.

Berry's concerns stem from weeks of discussions between Martinez and Maceo about potential testimony. The custody dispute is centered around an incident on September 26, where Martinez alleges that Berry attacked Maceo following a disagreement over a virtual reality game, a claim that Berry has denied.

She argues that there is already sufficient evidence for the court to consider, including video footage and eyewitness testimony from her boyfriend, Van Hunt, who was present during the incident. Berry asserts that requiring Maceo to testify would impose emotional pressure on him and accused Martinez of placing their son in the middle of their conflict.

The couple is scheduled to return to court on Friday.
