Christian Bale Arrested on Assault
Christian Bale walks the red carpet at the UK premiere of The Dark Knight held at the Odeon, Leicester Square on Monday.
The Dark Knight star allegedly lashed out and assaulted his mother and sister at London’s Dorchester hotel on Sunday, where he has a suite. Bale’s mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, went to a police station on Monday to lodge a formal complaint against him.
Bale was allowed to go to the premiere but police in London were expected to question him soon after.
A Met Police spokesman said: “A 34-year-old man attended a London Police Station on Tuesday by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault.”

I can’t believe everyone is assuming that Christian’s mom and sister started the altercation. Personally, I don’t know what happened and I’m reserving judgment until more is known. Until both sides are heard, no one will know the truth.
# 24 Helena @ 07/22/2008 at 10:20 am I thought his mother died?

That was his father that died, in 2003 i believe.
He IS a weird person, I’m not shocked at all. My friend met him and she said he was a total ass and wasn’t paying attention to what was going around him at all.. like he was drugged up or something.
Jess your a retarded *****…not every movie star out there is fucked up….there are some good talented people out there….who work hard…and stay out of trouble…so don’t go stereotyping ever single person…
I didn’t say fucked up but if you’re looking for role models Hollywood should be the last place you look. Don’t confuse talent with being “good” people. Trust me they don’t get where they are by being what any normal person would define as “good”.
……um, are peōple supposed to believe bale went american psy·cho… on his ōwn mother and sister? haha!
in a fɛw hōurs they’ll be talking about hōw this wholɛ thing is a big misundɛrstanding.
I am gutted to hear the bull! I love Christian. I just hope he manages to clear his name. He’s never been in trouble and all of a sudden at the height of his career his family accuse of him of assault?! It’s just a bizarre story. And why did his mother and sister report the assault to a police station in Dorset and not in London where it happened?
Hope he is released soon and gives a statement.
@ DEB - This is EXACTLY what I was thinking about!!!
This is so sad.
Aw, poor baley. I don’t think his mom and sister would charge assault charges against him, unless he has a long history of assault. I’ve never heard anything about him being an angry, aggressive person before. I doubt this is anything serious. Hopefully this will all blow over. If his mom and sister do charge him and its for money… than obviously they just want a piece of his cheese. With Dark Night record breaking at the box office, he sure has a lot of dough now for people to start making accusations to get a piece. I hope thats not the case!
Jared… I forgot to mention - You’ve reported it FIRST! ;)
The story is everywhere on the net now. I seriously think his mom and the sister are up to something. How could you turn a family member in? It doesn’t make any sense. I would wait for the facts before we can make any judgement. Christian has so much going for him, wife and child and awesome career. In the mean time as fans, we should give him the benefit of a doubt.

Yeah, you’re right. I remember one of them dying.
What a Pig!!! HE SHOULD SEE A PSYCHIATRIST
Holy shite! I hope this isn’t true. Not Christian! I thought he was one of the good guys!
what the…… this cannot be true.. can it?
I hope that this story isn’t true. A son should never lay a hand on his mother in anger. Popping sis isn’t cool, either.
So good to know that 99% of you in here use you common sense!
Of course this is some kind of a set up! I think his family was whining about money. He didn’t gave it to them. They’ve made this little “plot”. It is so damn OBVIOUS!
Now they’ll have the money. How? They’ll settle it out of court. Remember this.
They don’t want only the $. They want to finish him off.
And if true (I hope it is) it’s simply despicable!
MAYBE IT WAS ALL THOSE SIGNS THAT SAID “RIP HEATH LEDGER”
IT MUST BE FUN GOING TO ALL THESE PREMIERES ONLY TO TALK
ABOUT HEATH LEDGER.. AFTER WORKING SO HARD ON A MOVIE
THAT HE GETS ALL THE CREDIT FOR IT..OSCARS ARE NOMINATED
BY THE ACTORS… SO WE WILL SEE IF THE ACTORS AGREE…
THIS SPECIAL OSCAR SHOULD BE NOMINATED BY THE
AND MEDIA…SORRY THAT IS THE GOLDEN GLOBES.. MAY HE MIGHT
WIN THAT TOO..WHY NOT HAVE CHRIS NOLAN SHOW UP BY HIMSELF AND PROMOTE THE MOVIE SINCE HEATH A DEAD DRUG ADDICT .. WAS THE ONLY ONE HONORED THE POLICE SAID A 34 YEAR OLD MAN….THEY DID NOT SAY IT WAS CHRISTIAN…
if he did assault those women, they would be in a bad way. bale is a tank. he would batter them lol
There has got to be more to it than this. I can not believe he would do something like this. I hope its all a misunderstanding. But anything can be seen as an assult this days so it may not be anything serious. If he did push his mother out of the way, just laying a hand on her to do that could be seen as an assult.
I hope it comes out that he has had problems with his mom and sister before, so he can clear his name. He will not be losing me as a fan, I have heard too many horror stories like this before. Money does really stupid things to so called family. I know, when my uncle died and gave money to his children some of the family acted in a way I would have never guessed. To this day I don’t talk to any of them. How can you trust people that would try to hurt you just so you will give them money.
In Bale’s defense, he did tell those b1tches not to touch the mini bar.
the fact that this happened on sunday and was reported by his mother and sister the next day, and that bale went willingly to the police station after his premier make me think that this is not as serious as everyone initially thought. i hope it all gets worked out!
and i love bozzer’s comment :)
Here is a decent explanation:
