Halle Berry's ex Olivier Martinez's attorney denies claim that he stormed out of courtroom amid custody fight

Halle Berry's ex-husband Olivier Martinez denied storming out of a courtroom hearing in Los Angeles on Tuesday, as his attorney said he was taking a bathroom break.Martinez's attorney Patrick Baghdaserians told TMZ on Wednesday that his client had asked for a break, and the judge granted them three minutes before reconvening.Earlier this month, Martinez, 60, obtained a temporary domestic violence restraining order against Berry, 60, after accusing her of 'physically abusing' their 13-year-old Maceo 'by jumping on him and choking him' in a September 26 incident. Berry has denied all of the allegations.Martinez was pleased with how the case had been progressing, his attorney told the outlet, as the court listened to testimony from a series of people, including Maceo and an administrator at his school. The court has been closed for the hearing while Maceo has been testifying.The statement from Martinez's team came in the wake of a Page Six report that Martinez appeared 'agitated and distressed' as he made his way out of the courtroom Tuesday. The report indicated that Martinez 'could be heard using profanity in an animated discussion' about the case with his lawyer before he headed for the restroom.The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for both parties for comment but has not yet heard back.Halle Berry's ex-husband Olivier Martinez denied storming out of a courtroom hearing in Los Angeles Tuesday, as his attorney said he was taking a break the judge granted Martinez's lawyer Patrick Baghdaserians previously told The Daily Mail his team was 'pleased with the court’s ruling' on permitting Maceo to testify, adding, 'We believe it was necessary.' Both Berry and Martinez had testified Wednesday, while Berry's boyfriend Van Hunt, 56, and daughter Nahla Aubry, 18, were also slated to testify, according to TMZ.In a legal filing made in Los Angeles Superior Court last week that was reviewed by The Daily Mail, Berry claimed that Martinez has repeatedly inserted himself into ongoing issues regarding Maceo's schooling and therapy, obstructing progress in all areas.She told the court that Martinez has inappropriately gotten Maceo involved in the ongoing custody battle and undermined her efforts with the teen, per the filing.Berry said that the court should award her 'sole legal custody over matters relating to Maceo’s education, healthcare, and mental-health treatment,' and 'extend [her] tie-breaking authority indefinitely.'The aforementioned requests would be 'so that necessary interventions can be implemented without continued delay, conflict, and harm to the child,' Berry said in the court filing.Attorneys for Berry said in the filing that the ongoing 'case has been and continues to be about Olivier’s efforts to use manipulation, alienation, and litigation to obstruct necessary interventions for Maceo and to circumvent orders.'Berry's legal team said in the filing that it was not merely Berry's 'characterization of events,' as Martinez's 'custom and practice is confirmed by numerous judicial findings, court orders, and sanctions.' The Oscar-winning actress was pictured outside of an LA courthouse on Wednesday Martinez and Berry pictured at a 2014 event in LA Berry said in the court filing that Maceo's 'behavioral issues at school have significantly escalated' since the temporary restraining order had been issued earlier this month.In the filing, Berry pointed to letters submitted to the court by administrators from Maceo's school indicating that he 'has become increasingly oppositional, defiant, and disrespectful toward both peers and authority figures.'Berry added in the legal filing that the school officials have said 'Maceo has been more disruptive at school, harassed a younger student, used inappropriate language, thrown objects at peers, been disciplined with a week of detention and unilaterally announced that he is' switching schools. Berry said in the legal filing that, with Martinez's encouragement, Maceo has been reinforced to believe he has a say in 'decisions regarding his education, health, extracurricular activities, and general welfare.' In addition to asking for sole custody, Berry has requested the court authorize an arrangement in which Maceo would attend therapy sessions for a year, 'both individual and conjoint,' with a therapist of her choosing.Berry in the legal filing requested that both parties 'be ordered to forthwith communicate exclusively via Our Family Wizard,' a co-parenting app. She asked the court for conditions in which each party would check the app once a day, and send no more than one message daily in cases of no emergency.Berry and Martinez had been married from 2013 to 2015, finalizing their split in 2023.
