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 knew all this hype around Batman would get to him. He’s really pissed that Heath Ledger got all the accolades. Must be hard feeling frustrated and not being about to SAY you are. He’s an actor after all and they have EGOS. If you do say it, you become just a petty person. Heath is dead after all.

Everyone has a breaking point, apparently he hit his. Another site said it was verbal assault which is a crime in England. Don’t know if he threatened physical abuse. We’ll just have to see how it plays out. Still hard to imagine him doing that, but then again , he’s human. We only know his public image.

He dared touch his mother? Why that no good A-hole!

Any man who lift a finger or even threatens his own mother is worse than slime!

He is overrated just like The Dark Knigh movie. What a jerk!

I just looked up his information because I was curious about if it was actually his real mother that reported that, here’s what I found. It seems sad, looks like his parents were divorced, his dad now dead, his mom is a circus preformer…I don’t want to be prejudice, but being a circus preformer seems excentric haha so maybe that’s why we can’t relate to what she does. Perhaps a Non-conventional woman?

Father: David Bale (pilot, d. 30-Dec-2003, brain lymphoma)
Mother: Jenny James (circus performer)
Mother: Gloria Steinem (stepmother, married Bale’s father in 2000)
Sister: Erin Kreunen (musician)
Sister: Sharon Bale (software designer)
Sister: Louise Bale (avant garde filmmaker, b. 22-Jul-1972)
Wife: Sibi Blazic (”Sandra”, Winona Ryder’s personal assistant, m. 29-Jan-2000)
Daughter: (b. 27-Mar-2005)

WHAT?????????????
CANNOT BE TRUE.

I ran into him at JFK airport 2 years ago and he was not nice at all. I said hi Mr. Bale, and he gave me a look to kill. Was it too hard to say hi??

How can you women support a man that attack his own mother? I”m a guy and I was raised to respect my parents. I know when to cross the line. Bale cross the line here. Stop supporting him! He’s a celebrity that doesn’t care about you or how much you love him. He should face the law and punish.

“His sister Sharon, 40, shouted “it’s a family matter” through a window when approached by reporters at her home in Corfe Mullen, near Wimborne, Dorset. A man who answered the door at the home of his mother Jenny, 61, in Bournemouth, said she did not want to comment.”
————————————————————————————————

Yeah.. Family Matter.

MONEY matter that is.

I just heard Christian is out and no charges were filed!!!!!!
It turned out there were some VERBAL assaults exchanged between him and his mom & his sister. I couldn’t believe in England you could be arrested for verbal assaults!!!! Well, now you can kiss any family gatherings goodbye!

I heard it was verbal, not physical.

“In a statement just released to TMZ, his reps say “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.”"

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 with no charges.

You have got to love the idiot fangirls and fanboys on here. “He’s innocent,” , “No way CHRISTAIN BALE did this,” etc. etc. It might be something that was cooked up, but it’s so funny that if it had been someone else, 500 posters would’ ve jumped down the person’s throat calling him an a****** and what not. But since it’s BATMAN, he must be innocent. Pathetic.

more news:

“There are reports circulating that Christian Bale was arrested for verbal assault, and one of Bale’s reps is echoing that.

Who knew, but we called around jolly old England and found there is such a thing as verbal assault, Class 4 and Class 5. Class 4 is more aggravated than 5, with “an intent to cause alarm.”

Was Christian’s offense mouthing off to mom? We’re checking.”

“Scotland Yard tells us after his mom and sis dropped a dime on Bale yesterday, the cops didn’t jump because they felt Christian was not a flight risk. Also, they thought the crime was not super serious.”

http://www.tmz.com/2008/07/22/cops-knew-batman-would-return/

from poster on another board: “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.”

Bobby, there is no one being pig-headed about it. Everyone’s just expressing their shock and surprise, “no way!” havent u ever used the term urself?

As for you, I wouldn’t jump to conclusions, either. there are so many rumors rampant about the internet - that his sister and mother started it, that he did hit them, that it was a verbal argument, etc etc.

Bobby, nobody’s saying that dude is innocent just because he’s Batman. I’d just rather not be a sheep and automatically believe sensational headlines from a tabloid without some additional factchecking. All it took was three seconds on Google.

Actually, it’s pathetic to think he did it just because he’s grumpy in interviews or because he played Batman or Patrick Bateman, et al of these violent characters. . . ..

Gosh: “So keep your stupid comments to yourself!”

Ah, Gosh, it’s a comment board.
That’s what people do here.
As annoying as that whole ‘freedom of speech’-thing is, we all just have to live with it…or, stop reading the comments.
That works, too.

Christian had a really great relationship with his father but I rarely heard about his mom.

This alleged assault is absolutely ridiculous! Christian is probably one of the best Hollywood actors with the best low-key profile from the media, I HIGHLY doubt Christian would even do that! As a Balehead, I stand by my favorite actor and hope this gets resolved and hope it was just blown out of proportion by his mom and sister (some kind of family they are!).

and that’s a JoliePitt fan.

i think that this is just the tip of the iceberg; so to speak. look christian has been acting since he was a child. his work as a child star more than likely put money in his mother’s pocket. now that he’s an adult christian must feel that he shouldn’t have to support either his mother or his sister. it may be that these two women have been after him for money and he snapped. had enough!!

Wow bobby is a bit dim.

And so are all the people posting saying Bale is a psycho. If he had actually attacked his mother and sister it would be battery. In fact the story on this site is misleading because it mentions lashing out.

Edna, firstly Brits don’t use the word “cussing” and secondly, how on earth did your father know they were drunks and drug addicts based on one incident?

Your story is fishy.

Christian Bale’s law firm issued a statement saying that Bale had shown up at the police station voluntarily to give his account of the story. He was later released and no charged were made against Christian Bale regarding the assault

Funny they say he’s the coolest guy ever due to his talent and he is so private. These twits sure have it wrong. I knew this guy had a temper basing how he treats his fans like crap.

edna @ 07/22/2008 at 10:20 am My father works security at the hotel, and he said it was a mess. His mom and sister wanted the front desk worker to let them into his room to wait for him. When they were told no they started cussing and yelling. they sat in front of his door for an hour until he finally arrived.

May I just add that the terms mom and cussing are Americanisms that are not used in England, over here it’d mum and cursing.

Seems strange considering your father is supposedly a security guard in the Dorchester.
