UPDATE - The judge who heard Poison Berry's request to deny Gabriel Aubrey contact with his daughter made no ruling today. Poison will have to wait until Monday, January 30, when the judge, who would normally rule on the matter, returns from vacation.
Nahla's former nanny, Alliance Kamdem, was also in court this morning, seeking a restraining order aginst Gabriel Aubry. However, the judge rejected her request calling it "insufficient and speculative." In the court documents, Kamdem alleges other "abuse" she supposedly endured at the hands of Mr. Aubry - incidents that happened many months ago, which she never reported.
********************
Halle Berry is taking the father of her daughter, Gabriel Aubry, back to court today. Ms. Berry is once again playing the abuse card. It's a card Poison Berry loves, and one that has worked quite well for her over the years.
Poison has a pattern. At the end of every relationship and/or marriage, she claims the just-ditched partner was abusive. Sometimes she hints at physical abuse, other times she hints that the abuse was emotional. But there is always a claim of abuse, and she is always a victim.
Rather then seek counseling for her pattern of consistently choosing Mr. Wrong, Poison chooses to simply grab herself a new man. Case in point - within months of Ms. Berry ditching her Baby Daddy, Aubry, she hooked up with Olivier Martinez.
But Poison can't shut Gabriel Aubry entirely out of her life, because they have a daughter, Nahla, together. But she's sure as hell trying. Where she once sat on Oprah's couch, cooing about what a wonderful father Aubry was to Nahla, she's now determined to tar and feather him with the label of Worst Father Ever.
Today's emergency hearing is Poison's latest bid to strip Aubry entirely of custody and visitation of his daughter. According to published reports, Aubry had Nahla at his home, when Nahla's nanny showed up at his house. Nanny began questioning Aubry as to why Nahla hadn't been at school that day. According to Nanny, who filed a police report, Aubry lost his temper, began yelling, "You're the f**king nanny. Who do you think you are? You are a nobody. You don't need to f**king know anything," before pushing her out the door while she was holding Nahla.
Poison must be in ecstasy if Aubry did, in fact, lose it with the nanny. Yay - more "proof" for her that the "abuse" she claims is, indeed, a fact.
I am NOT making light of abuse, having watched a friend live for years with a husband that beat the hell out of her on a regular basis. But here's my beef with Berry. She's a little too glib with her consistent claims of abuse. Because she's done with Nahla's father, she has done nothing but try to obliterate him from her daughter's life since their split.
And she's very good at making her case in public. How convenient that the paps always show up when she's out with her daughter - at the beach, at the park, dining with the boyfriend. Halle loves her daughter - look how doting she is! But let Gabriel Aubry be snapped picking his daughter up at school, and within weeks, Berry files another claim in court that he's "unfit".
Poison certainly isn't the first, and won't be the last parent, to consistently haul her ex into court over custody matters. She's not the first parent who sees "winning" as more important then the welfare of her child. She just happens to have a wider audience, thanks to her celebrity. And it's an advantage that she appears willing to exploit, over and over again.
But she will never be able to erase the fact, despite her mighty efforts, that Gabriel Aubry is Nahla's father, and that he has rights where his daughter is concerned, as well. Sadly, Poison, while claiming to do what's best for her daughter, is more then likely screwing the child up far more then she will ever acknowledge. She's determined to slaughter Aubry's reputation at any cost.
As for Olivier Martinez - he would do well to pay very close attention to Ms. Berry's treatment of her exes. Better still, he should run like hell - now.
