Christian Bale Arrested

christian_bale_94__opt.jpg

As we told you he would

Christian Bale was arrested in London today in connection with assault charges brought against him by his mother and sister.

The incident apparently occurred in his hotel on Sunday.

The actor is currently being questioned by police.

He has yet to release a statement.

Update:

He has handed himself into police voluntarily over the mysterious domestic feud.

He went to Belgravia police station in central London earlier today and is still there, being held in custody.

When asked if Bale had been arrested, a police spokesman said "A 34-year-old man attended a central London police station this morning by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault. He currently remains in custody."

His family is not talking.

      It is probably a case of the family wanting their 15 minuts of fame and money. They more than like started the assault if there was one.

      I cannot believe it. He assaulted his mom? He doesn't seem like the type. On Sunday,he was walking around Hollywood with his family looking very calm and everyone was saying how nice he was. And praising him for not being the Hollywood type.

      *I bet drugs were involved. I see a short stint in jail, then rehab.

      That is complete bs! And if it is true then we know that he is accountable for his actions and therefore he can be forgiven this time around.

      How much do you wanna bet that they were trying to mooch off of him?

    39. Chris says – reply to this


      39

      NO, not Christian. Was he posessed? Was it drugs? I hope it's not true, then again, what what would possess a parent/sibling (with no known bad history btween them and son to file charges?) It should clarify itself in a sensible way soon I hope.

      WOW! That is so messed up & hard to believe. Why would he do such a thing? Hmmmm…it'll be interesting to see how this one turns out. It's too bad, though…..just when he's on top of the world something like this happens. Hope it's not true….but it must be because he turned himself in. I'd like to know the history of his relationship w/ his family…bad blood, obviously. You're in my thoughts, Christian!

      It's more of a look into his private life that I didn't want to see. Regardless of truth, I don't want to know that my dark knight, my american psycho, my machinist is getting treated or blackmailed or anything.. This goes for anyone I admire and respect.

      I don't know about London, but here in America assault is a verbal threat, and battery is a separate charge given when actual violence is physically used…

      What a crock! The timing of this just looks too dodgy - they say they it happened on a Sunday but waited until the Monday - whatever. Sounds like someone (mommy and sister) want a piece of his fame. How pathetic. If they had a bad relationship before, it's only going to get worse because of their actions. I highly doubt it happened as the mother and sister say - Christian Bale assault his family - no way, never. Greedy bitches.

      62

      Sounds like he was cutting off the cash flow to his mom and sister and they decided to get even. Typical style for people that feel entitled to someone else's money, and that they waited until Monday to report it was so to try and embarass him at his premier. The more telling sign is that the police allowed him to attend - sounds like they don't quite believe the mother or sister, but of course they have to investigate it since a complaint was lodged. Will wait to see what actually happens.

      Usually it's hilarious to see these big egos end up in the pokey, but 1) Bale seems to lack that Paris Hilton/ Kardashian/ Lohan ego and sense of entitlement, and 2) He's never whored out his daughter to the press (do we even know her name for sure?)

      Reasons he might have done it (and still retain my love for him)
      1) They threatened his daughter
      2) They threatened his wife
      3) They threatened to send pictures to the tabloids of him and me on a romantic getaway
      4) They betrayed him to the Nazis.

      I'm dying to hear what's the real story behind this. Sounds quite unbelievable. Surely they could have sorted this out themselves without the police and publicity? If this story is true then wow…



    75. 75

      Sounds batty. Mom and Sis reported it before the premiere. What they didn't get tickets and are pissed? Glad the police take in consideration innocent before proven guilty and didn't ruin the premiere. Christian is sure to be overworked and tired. Probably had to push his money grubbing relatives out of the way so her could make the premiere on time. What mom would have her son arrested? i want to see the evidence of this.

      81

      Romors online state that his mother and sister are low lifes who went to the hotel and demaded to be let into his room when he was out. The hotel staff refused, the family began a scene, and then they camped out and waited for christian to come back. When he did, they began verbally assaulting him and told him that he thinks he's a bigshot now, and that he "owes" them. Take care of your own, they apparently said. They shoved him or something, and when he tried to move one of them, or was self defensive, they went to the cops. The next day, I might add. This guy didn't do anything wrong, I'm pretty much sure of it. Money is the root of all evil. Why would he assault his own mother on the same night as his London premiere? Give me a break. Lying wenches.

    82. Gina says – reply to this


      82

      If he was arrested for assault, but not aggravated assault, then there's a good chance that his mom and sis felt threatened, but weren't actually attacked/struck/etc.

      It's also safe to assume that most people (except for Naomi Campbell) won't threaten others unless provoked. I'm not saying there's any excuse for violence, and I'm certainly not trying to blame the victims (if they are, in fact, victims), but I assume that his mom and sister in some way provoked a response.

      He's not above the law, but he's also innocent until proven guilty. Let's not condemn the guy based on one assault charge with no details. Let the police work it out, and then we'll see.

      Poor Christian. This is depressing. I feel bad for him because it seems like Heath Ledger is getting all the attention for The Dark Knight, and Christian is an amazing actor as well. I love everything that Christian Bale does. And now he's the new John Conner? Thats awesome. I can't wait to see that one.

      .
      THEY PROBABLY WERE DRINKING AND BEING ALL 'WHITE TRASH' WITH THE HOTEL AND AT THE PREMIER EVENTS.
      .
      THEY HAVE SUCCESSFULLY SCREWED A LIFETIME OF HARD WORK FOR HIM. EVEN IF IT ISN'T TRUE, THEY HAVE MADE SURE HE WILL BE LESS SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE OF THEIR DIRTBAG MOUTHS!
      .
      THERE WERE OBVIOUSLY NO INJURIES OR THE POLICE WOULD HAVE PICKED HIM UP.
      .
      VERY VERY SAD! HE HAS WORKED HARD SINCE HE WAS A YOUNG BOY! WITH THE FIRST BATMAN - ALL THE PRESS WAS TOM CRUISE KISSING ALL OVER KATIE HOLMES. THIS BATMAN IS ALL ABOUT HEATH LEDGER. NOW THIS!!

      99

      I agree that the timing is fishy in more ways that one.

      First of all, why wait until the NEXT day to file a grievance against someone who (verbally) assaulted you? Did they want to be absolutely sure they had a case, or was it more of a shakedown gone wrong and embarassing him was the only way to save face/get even?
      I think he acted nobly by coming in voluntarily. He must not be worried over this allegation. It is unfortunate though that this has marred his public/professional image. Maybe that was the family's motive?

      On another note, he has always been secretive about his personal life. Maybe he wanted to avoid something like this from ever happening. We all have those crazy relatives that we would rather not be reminded of. Could his mom and sis be those? Yes it's hard to think of a mom as "bad" but , it's possible, as this case points out.
      And, as far that drug reference that a few of you have posted, I highly doubt that Bale is a user. The guy seems too intellectual to dabble in drugs. His appearance may have more to do with whatever role he's working on right now. He runs the gamit of losing LOTS of weight for The Machinist , to beefing up for Harsh Times (ladies, check that one out!).

      P.s. I read somewhere his daughter's name is Emmaline.

      Bale arrested right when his new movie comes out. Damn. I hope "The Dark Knight" keeps shining on. P.S. …I think its real funny that when they post a comment on these celebrity articles, they type in first! or im #1 or first comment! and they are below the list. Except frggl though, of course.
