The Daily Mail reports Christian Bale has been accused of assault by his mother and sister.
The alleged incident occurred on Sunday before the European premier of The Dark Knight, but police allowed Bale to attend the showing. One police source explained, “It was a very difficult situation…it would have been wrong to have wrecked the premiere over a complaint which we don’t yet know is founded in truth.” Bale is now in custody and will be questioned today.
Scotland Yard confirms they’ve received an allegation regarding a separate “incident” in central London.
I’ll be honest, my knee-jerk reaction was perhaps a bit like London police: sadness over this Batman buzz-kill. And then it hit me that it’s really uncool a guy might have assaulted his mom and sister.
Dam….so uncool
want to clear this up before you all blow it out of preportion.
Christian Bale has yet to be charged with any crime, he has been accused of VERBALY not PHYSICALY assaulting his mother and sister. He voluntarily reported to a London police station and assisted police with questioning, after which he left on his own without being charged.
Just wanted to make that clear before everyone assumes the worst and blows this thing out of preportion.
People.com story included a statement from Bale’s attorney and a denial of the allegations from the actor:
“Christian Bale attended a London police station today, on a voluntary basis, in order to assist with an allegation that had been made against him to the police by his mother and sister,” the star’s lawyers said in the statement. “Mr. Bale who denies the allegation, co-operated throughout, gave his account in full of the events in question, and has left the station without any charge being made against him by the police. At this time, there will be no further comment by Mr. Bale.”
Kris Tapley:
And personally, I feel like headlines such as “Did Batman beat up his mother and sister? , while accurate on the face (in so far as the question), and certainly controversial,are somewhat disrespectful.
These reports drive me crazy! Living in Los Angeles, any celebrity “news” is the lead story…ummmm, aren’t we still involved in a war that the president lied to us about? I’d like to hear about how THAT is going, please…not the exaggerated BULLSHIT that passes for news. Report the story if it ACTUALLY HAPPENS!
Bale seems too in-control of himself and too smart to ever physically go after anyone
