Halle Berry has produced text messages as proof of her long-running fight with ex-husband Olivier Martinez over the custody of their 11-year-old son, Maceo. The actress, 58, accused Olivier Martinez of sabotaging his son’s development and colluding with two of her former employees to make false accusations against her.
The dispute over this lawsuit concerns Martinez’s coordination with former nanny Erica Simamora and long-time employee Miryam Haziza. Halle Berry maintains Martinez persuaded Erica to reach out to his therapist to disturb Maceo’s therapy session. Court documents report, “Inexplicably, he prevailed upon Erica to contact Maceo’s therapist to try to sabotage Maceo’s therapy process.
She also provided some of her and Miryam’s exchange texts. At one point she challenged Miryam concerning possible discussions with Erica regarding the latter’s lies to be able to win. “I will sue her ass OFF,” she wrote of Erica as a dishonest person.
Halle Berry also complained that Martinez was retaliating due to a previous loss in court. At one point, she texted Olivier to say, “Olivier is just mad that I won the school battle… He’s trying to drag me to his level.”
Martinez denied the allegations and asked that Erica be brought into court to testify. Halle Berry has threatened to question her.
This has, thus revealed internal strife and accusations of betrayal within Berry’s innermost circle. The court has scheduled next month to deliberate on the custody of their son with Martinez. Both parties are going to present their cases and testify in what has become an extremely contentious court battle.
