Halle Berry’s ex-husband Olivier Martinez has filed a temporary restraining order against the actress, accusing her of physically abusing their son, Maceo.

According to new court docs obtained by Page Six Thursday, Martinez accused Berry of jumping on their 12-year-old son, putting her hands around his neck and choking him on Sept. 26.

He claims her fiance, Van Hunt, was present during the incident.

Martinez alleges that the argument between Berry and Maceo started when she told him that he looks “so stupid” and is “such an idiot” for playing a game with his virtual reality goggles.

“The situation escalated and Petitioner jumped on our son and started physically fighting with him,” he claims in the docs. “She grabbed Maceo by the neck and started choking him while shouting, ‘Who is dominant now?! Who is dominant?!’”

Martinez alleges that Berry has been abusive towards their son on multiple occasions.

“Throughout the last year and a half, Ms Berry had wrestled Maceo to the ground and forced him to ‘tap out,” he claims in the docs.

He also claims that Berry has caused Maceo mental distress due to making racially charges statements. Back in 2023, he claims the Oscar winner told their son his dad is “a white b—h trying to rob a black woman” due to their child support issues.

“Ms. Berry then asked our son, ‘How do you feel about that as a black man?'” he claims.

Martinez states in the docs that he has “significant concerns” about Berry’s mental health, “as well as her alcohol abuse, which I believe have contributed to her abusive conduct.”

Martinez is requesting sole custody of their son.

Page Six has reached out to reps for Berry and Martinez, but did not receive an immediate response.
