Christian Bale Denies Assault Claims

Christian Bale Denies Assault Claims

Christian Bale’s is denying assault allegations made against him by his mother and sister.

His attorneys released a statement on Tuesday that reads: “Christian Bale attended a London police station today, on a voluntary basis, in order to assist with an allegation that had been made against him to the police by his mother and sister. Mr. Bale who denies the allegation, co-operated throughout, gave his account in full of the events in question, and has left the station without any charge being made against him by the police. At this time, there will be no further comment by Mr. Bale.”

Yesterday, Bale’s mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, went to a police station to lodge a formal complaint against The Dark Knight actor.

Denise? Typo.

# 2

Apparently his sister and mother are drunkasses. In the UK, assault is only verbal assault…I can not believe he got arrested and especially by his family.

# 3

I believe that Bale is innocent.

Anyway, Estelle Getty died! RIP.

# 4

Bogus bullshit. Sounds like he just has a really f’d up family. Sad situation. I think the media is being typical and blowing things out of proportion and making it sound like he attacked his mother and sister. I don’t believe that for a second or they wouldn’t have waited to take him in the the station, and wouldn’t have let him go without charging him.

There you go!

Now those two birds will be on every bloody TV channel to make money! Wanna bet?!

If there were a law in the US like that in England, 99.999999999% of the population would have an arrest record longer than Route 66.

TYPO JARED !

heh, you are right.. I guess they just wanna make some $$$$$!!! Disgusting!
Poor Mr. Bale!!!!
To get aressted for verbal assault??? ha ha ha ha!! Half of my country would be in jail already!!!!

I knew it. The lamers.

Denise =/ Denies

He and his family are a mess. mental.

This whole thing is shocking, and bad timing with the movie release. I can’t believe his own family turned him in. Families fight all the time. I know mine does. We don’t call the cops in for it.

Can you read, #14?

The statement was given by Bale’s attorneys. “Mr. Bale, who denies the allegation…”

It’s hard to tell because the media always twists things around. We won’t know for sure unless Christian releases a statement!

Um, [☆I n F a m o u s☆] , they’d have to build a fence around the desk where your computer sits.

shoes4life @ 07/22/2008 at 2:30 pm

Nothing like envious/jealous family members to try and mess up your good name.

Sad.

He looks a bit mental. I think it’s sad that you can’t even have a family fight without it leaking to the press . Next thng you know photographers and reporters will be haniging out in bathrooms and letting everyone know who has tummy trouble.

shoes4life @ 07/22/2008 at 2:35 pm

Well we will definitely know the mom & sisters motives for all of this if they end up selling their story to the tabloids.

Can you read, #16? The statement was released by Bale’s attorneys. “Mr. Bale, WHO DENIES the allegation…” If his spokesperson/lawyer says he denies it, then he denies it. Derr.

He fingered me once in the girls toilets at school. That’s my claim to fame, people. OUAT I got freaky with Batman.

lol

His mother and sister are estranged - both have attempted to contest his father’s will. He died in 2003. His two other sisters are in the entertainment industry. People forget that Bale is a child star. Show Business moms. Ugh. And he wasn’t even arrested, so I don’t know why headlines are saying he was.

I knew it - don’t pay you mom and sister anything…..sounds so much like my family. Augh!!!!!!

Team Christian all the way!!!! :)

what #31 said.

Maria (Shorty) @ 07/22/2008 at 3:41 pm

Christian hasn’t gotten along with his Mum for years! I think both Mum and Sis went to hotel to start a mess. THEY’RE the ones that need to be locked up.

All sounds like BULL SH*T to me!! Poor Christian, it just happens to take place during his European premiere. He has one screwed up sister and mom. Seems totally bogus to me! Especially around the time this took place! PURE BS! He performance in The Dark Knight was amazing and this is what he gets!? Poor Christian.

one of the few actors who tries to keep a low profile, and during one of the biggest moments of his career, his family does this to him.
if it is indeed true, i feel bad for him. his family should be ashamed of themselves.

kick them to the curb Christian! They probably got mad cause he didn’t want to give them money or he did give them money and they spent that already and wanted more :-/ he probably told them to go to hell and they called the police on him.

What kind of a mother would do that?

BETSY SMITH @ 07/22/2008 at 4:35 pm

When was the last time you saw Christian Bale with his mother…
Ever since his father died.. you haven’t heard him talk about his
mother or his sisters.. Just his wife and daughter…

Who knew that Gloria Steinim was his step mother. And the last
picture anyone has of Christian and his mother and sisters is when
he was a teenager

I’m sorry, but that is so messed up that your own family would press assault charges. Especially knowing that doing so would go straight to the press. It sounds like he’s (obviously) not too close to his mom and sister and there are two sides to every story. Regardless of this headline, Christian is still one of my favorite actors.

hypnotikal @ 07/22/2008 at 4:47 pm

eww obviously they are after his $

well, looks like Christian Bale needs a prayer to save him from his wacko family! Sweet Baby Jesus, Sister Mary Romano has a lot to say about this on celebrity prayer list

Dear Travis,

The title of this thread….

is friggin “Christian Bale Denies Assault Claims”

I almost feel bad making fun of you. Merely because its too easy.
And what fun is that?

His family may not be perfect but does not mean he is perfect. This guy may be on drugs too.

Bale turns me off now. Batman is really a cursed franchise.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=cIUiXJwNGlo

sweet moment when he wins he thanks his family and his wife especially its a sweet moment, the crowd ate it up with awwwws lol

LOVE HIM

Here is a little light over what really happened, and it is so, so sad because instead of helping him trough this times his family makes it even worse for him by going to the police!

“Batman star Christian Bale allegedly assaulted his mother and sister after becoming depressed over strains in his marriage and the death of close friend Heath Ledger, it was claimed last night.”

“A source close to Bale said the incident comes at a time when his marriage to Sandra ‘Sibi’ Blazic, a former model and make-up artist, is enduring difficulties.”

“The source also claimed Bale had been deeply affected by the death from a drugs overdose of Ledger, who plays The Joker in the Batman film The Dark Knight.”

‘Christian’s attitude is that this was his mother’s fault because she became very provocative in an argument they were having,’ the source said. ‘Things got out of control and he says now he wishes he just left the room.

‘The thing that happened here was that normally Christian would just call a friend and go out to a pub to cool off. But he was literally trapped into this confrontation with his mother and sister because there was an army of fans and paparazzi outside.

‘He was feeling the stress, but he didn’t lay a finger on anyone. Instead, he flew off the handle and cussed his mother. He just got very loud because his mother was saying some very outrageous things about him, his wife and his child.’

The source added: ‘His marriage is not perfect, but his relationship with his mother is in much more trouble.”

Here is the whole read:

Oh Chris, just leave them all and come move in with me for the week.

I will f/ck all your troubles away…

@ 47

LMAO! Can we make it 3?!

what could possibly be the reason for assaulting your mom and sister? must be a biggie.. tsk tsk tsk.

he’s a loser and ages badly

Batman rocks!!! @ 07/22/2008 at 10:04 pm

Probably the mom and sister are trying to drain money from him since his movie is doing well at the box office. He is not guilty otherwise the police would retain him already.
This is absurd.

Batman is so curse:

Bale’s temper and violent ways are being revealed.

Ledger a sad lost soul hooked on drugs.

Maggie a terrorist sympathizer. Karma got her when fire caught her
skirt in the set.

A stuntman died for TDK.

Superhero Hype and Batman On Film have pics from Batman Begins where Bale lashed out violently at a female fan and the husband almost got into a fight w/ him.Bale apologized later.

Only Mormon cult boy Eckhart is nice also Caine,Freeman and Oldman.

Different Batman sites also have pics of Bale giving fans the international sign of frienshi with his fingers. I bet TMZ and other entertainment would love to have those.
If Maguire aka Peter Pan has a temper he loses out to Bale.

An assault on the English language. Someone call the Grammar police!

Tmz is now reporting that Bale went Ballistic on the set of Terminator 4 just days prior to the incident with his mother and sister. It’s may not be the curse of Batman, but something is wrong in Bale-land. He’s got a lot of anger seething beneath the surface if the story is true. Maybe he’s irked because he was over-shadowed by Ledger. No matter what his mouth has said in public, I bet he’s royally pissed. You’re the ’star’ and you’re constantly told what a great performance your co-star gave. Ego is Ego. He can’t say anything in public. He’s keeping it all in. He’s gonna explode.The Dark Knight will always be Heath Ledger’s movie.

Then again, maybe he’s just a hot-head. I don’t know if there is anything to what happened with his mother and sister, but have to dysfunctional to report him to the police. It’ll all come out sooner or later. I never remember hearing anything bad about him before. Then again, I don’t really follow him.

I think it’s depression. If you haven’t had major depression, or seen someone struggle with it, then maybe you wouldn’t recognize mood swings, emotional outburts and other things. He’s battled it before, by his own admission. I wish him well, I really do.

groundcontrol @ 07/23/2008 at 12:35 am

A verbal assault is usualy a threat. It is against the law in the US as well. I can’t think of a single state where you can threaten someone.

Threatening behavior can also be an assault even with no touching. For instance you can’t wave or even point a weapon at someone, that could easily be found to be an assault.

Does Bale have any history of bipolar? Nothing has moved me more in a movie as his performance in Empire of the Sun. Maybe Meryl Streep in Sophie’s Choice but it’s close.

What?! Is this true? It would be horrible. I don’t know much about him (even from media) I hope he’s not violent.

sleeping Giant @ 07/23/2008 at 2:42 am

I read from wikipedia that he suffered from depression in 2002 2003 around the time his Dad died. I think He needs help if he really is depressed. If you see the recent interviews he made, he seemed edgy. I hope he’s okay. One of my favorite actors.

Take Care Christian and God Bless

Bad Bale begins. This does not shock me when reporters
and fans have talked about his bad behavior.

get some help,Bale. I have no respect for people like this. His mom and sis may be troubled but so is he.

It is very sad when a family sees fit to call the police because they had an argument and a screaming match with one of their members. Show me a family that doesn’t have those. If the police were called each time to deal with things like this, there should be a whole new task force.

To me this stunt is all about money. I would not be surprised if his mother and sister sued him for money compensation, claiming he assaulted them.

Whatever. I still love him and always will. The guy has no criminal record whatsoever and now his mom and sis decide to drag his name through the mud for their own malicious gain. A$$holes!

Balehead forever!

What mother do this to her child?
I think there is money involved and his family wants a piece from this cake…

Morning ya’ll :)

It is kidna nice to start your day with Christian, isn’t it?! ;)

So, mommy wants $$$ and know how to push buttons. Ingenious.

In his biggest day! Disgusting!

cheryl andrews @ 07/23/2008 at 11:40 am

Christian, we’re your really naughty, or didn’t you throw enough millions to your family and make them mad?

Velvet Goldmine Lover @ 07/23/2008 at 1:23 pm

Hes not on drugs. **** off the Mum and the Sister and leave him alone. And **** off the Feds! He probably didn’t finger Titolia either!

I Love Velvet Goldmine @ 07/28/2008 at 6:42 am

The London Premiere for TDK looked good from what I saw on the internet video. I was sorry I never made it .

I Love Velvet Goldmine @ 07/28/2008 at 6:42 am

To see the new Bat Car and stuff…….!

His mom must be a total ***** to call the cops after Bale flipped out at her for insulting his wife. Obviously, his mother and sister, who are pissed about Bale’s father’s will, plan to extort money from Bale. Why else call the cops just before the planet’s biggest movie, of which their son is the star, is released? They want to make him look bad.
