Nahla Aubry, the daughter of Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry, has officially entered the legal fray to protect her mother's reputation. In a declaration filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court, the college student provided a firsthand account to counter claims of physical violence.

The declaration further clarifies that Nahla has never seen Berry engage in any conduct that resembles the physical abuse alleged in the recent court filings. She emphasized that Berry has always been a constant preseence in her and Maceo's lives, attending games and advocating for their education.
The September 26 allegations made by Olivier Martinez
The current legal tension centers on specific claims made by Olivier Martinez regarding an incident on September 26. Martinez alleged that Halle Berry choked their son, Maceo, during an argument. He further claimed that Berry had previously made racially charged commets toward the boy.
As the report notes, while Martinez was granted a temporary restraining order , the judge has allowed contact to continue between Berry and her son.. Nahla addressed the racial allegations directly in her filing, stating that as a biracial family, Berry has always taught her children to embrace their identity and respect people from all backgrounds. Nahla expressed that she was "heartbroken" and "shocked" by the accusations, noting that Maceo seemed happy during their last phone call on September 29.
A history of legal friction since the 2013 marriage
This conflict is part of a long-standing legal battle between Berry and Martinez, who were married from 2013 to 2015... Although the pair settled their divorce in August 2023, the friction regarding their son's upbringing and legal boundaries has persisted for years.
The legal filings suggest a pattern of misconduct, with claims that Martinez has repeatedly violated court orders and interfered with necessary therapeutic and educational interventions for Maceo. The report indicates that Martinez has already been legally sanctioned for such behavior in the past.. Nahla's declaration characterizes the current filing as part of a documented history of "erratic, possessive and violent behavior" attributed to Martinez.
Who can confirm the details of the September 26 argument?
Despite the strong defense provided by Nahla Aubry, several critical aspects of the case remain unverified. It is currently unknown if Maceo has provided his own direct testimony to the court or how he personally views the allegations made by his father. additionally, while Nahla reported that Maceo sounded happy during a call on September 29, the specific details of the September 26 argument and the validity of Martinez's claims have not been independently confirmed by judicial authorities.
