Halle Berry’s Daughter Nahla Defends Her From Abuse Claims in Rare Comments

She has, however seen Berry and her brother “playfully wrestle, tickle each other, and roll around laughing on the floor or on a bed many times. I have never seen my mom place her hands around Maceo’s neck, put him in a chokehold, restrict his breathing, or engage in any conduct remotely resembling the allegations that have been made against her.”

The teen added, “I have never seen Maceo hurt, upset, cry or do anything but laugh after his and my mom’s playful wrestling.”

E! News has reached out to attorneys and reps for both Berry and Martinez for comment but has not yet heard back.

In the filing, Berry’s legal team notes, “Olivier’s account of the events of September 26, 2026, […] is contradicted by video evidence, witness testimony, documentary evidence, and the parties’ subsequent conduct.”
