Christian Bale arrested for assaulting mother and sister!!

shocking i wonder what happened between bale and his mother and sister. I was reading avout this two hrs ago.

I'll go out on a "limb" and say MONEY was involved...

Where did you see it, webhead? I was lazy and slept in so I just opened an email and found the news.

well i too was sleeping in late like to do during the summer and currently with no summer job. But i got up around 11am est time. Then went down on family pc since it was already on and i was to lazy to turn on my laptop i use in my room. So i was checking some movie news/tv sites i go to daily and then was over at SHH boards and was in the terminator 4 thread there and someone made a mention that bale got arrested so i googled bale's name and found an article about his arrest.

I saw it here.

I guess we'll find out what went down eventually.

Yea hopefully its nothing major.

I saw a recently Biography about Bale on A&E. He has been estranged from his mother for years. When he was younger he moved to LA with his father to pursue acting jobs. Soon after that his parents divorced and his father remarried.

I think money is involve since TDK broke the bank. His mother is probably still pissed that he and and father left.

This is the first issue that I heard regarding Bale in the media. He is usually a quiet guy in the media

The situation seems a bit off as you read it. Feels like a bit of a setup so to speak....blackmailish almost. If there was proof that he beat the crap out of "mum" the Brits wouldn't have let him go to the premeire. I think it has BS written all over it.

Oh..and by BS I meant bullshit...not Bryan Singer...don't won't to sully the good reputation of cow turds.

Looked into it more. Was "simple assault" not a beating and with his status as well as the premiere taking place less than 24 hours after the incident, he was given R.O.R. by British authorities in order to attend the event. Formal charges have yet to be filed. As of now, it's only written complaints by both his mother and his sister.

I'm not a lawyer but since when has that been enough to keep someone in custody for two whole days?

I figured it was probably just a verbal assault.

There must be more to it than what is being released. You know we never get the full story on anything.

*UPDATE*

Bale spent 4 hours in a London police station after his mother and sister filed complaints of assault, which Bale completely denies. Formal charges have not yet been filed and authorities are continuing their investigation.

Nice updates hopefully we get to the bottom of things.

Here are the pieces you should be reading:

However, if you read a little more to comments posted by people working at the Dorchester or their families, it seems that mommy dearest arrived drunk and looking for a fight over money she wants from Bale.

Here is a snippet:

"His mom and sister are alcoholics and drug addicts, they showed up at his hotel uninvited and highly intoxicated. they were calling him big shot and that he needs to take care of his own. His mom was yelling that he would be nothing without her and he owed her. His sister was begging for money and when he was pushing her toward the door his mother came from behind and started hitting him on his head and kicking him. He managed to push them both out the door and his mom fell, they called the police and wanted him arrested. I believe that Chirstian is the victim here not his mom or sister."

If thats what really happened then yea christian is the victim and not mom/sister.
