In response to the filing, Berry’s attorney Marina Beck told E! News in a statement, “In a way, today’s filing is not entirely unexpected from an individual with a well-documented history of erratic, possessive and violent behavior. Fortunately, Halle is used to this kind of outrageous conduct from Mr. Martinez.”
“While she is deeply saddened,” the statement continued, Berry “will not allow it to deter her from fighting for [her son’s] best interests and providing him with the love and support he needs.”
E! News has reached out to reps for Martinez and Hunt for comment but has not heard back.
Once Martinez and his son arrived back at his home, his son explained what had happened, saying he’d been playing a VR game in his bedroom when Berry entered and “began pushing” him.
“From what I can tell, the initial contact appeared to be intended to be in a joking manner,” Martinez noted in the doc. “[Their son] told [Berry], ‘Stop. Let me finish the game first.’ This sent [Berry] into a rage.”
She then allegedly began fighting with the boy, as she grabbed him “by the neck and started choking him while shouting, ‘Who is dominant now?! Who is dominant?’”
