Shakedown!

Filed under: Legal Matters > Christian Bale

wenn1987618.jpg

Every day hour we're learning a bit more about the "incident" between Christian Bale and his mother and sister.

As we mentioned yesterday, there might be some bitterness between Bale and his mother, a former clown.

When Bale's parent's divorced years ago, his mom forced him to choose which parent he wanted to live with.

Christian moved to L.A. and chose his dad, who later became his manager.

And as for the police charges, Bale's camp believes it is most likely motivated by money.

Apparently his mother was "extremely jealous of both his and his dad's success."

As for the "assault" that took place last Sunday at his hotel room, it's been reported there was some physical contact, but nothing violent. It's being described as either a push or a brush, though no one was hurt or even fell.

However, his people still believe the main reason behind filing the charges is purely financial reasons.

As of today, some magazines have already been offering large amounts of money for the mom and sister's story.

We say, forget the mom! If she wants to offer the story for free, then let her. But if not, don't pay her a nickel.

If she really wants to tell her story and isn't motivated by money, she'll do it for free.

    Of course his peeps are going to say it's a shakedown. They're going to say and do anything to protect their cash cow! More than one mother and grandmother has been thrown under the bus where money is concerned. His mom and sister don't have a snowball's chance in hell.

    Psychical contact? Major typo Perez.

    This is so wierd because every British guy that I have known has always put the Mum and the sister in front of everything. They are creepy that way. If you are dating a Brit look out, its secret calls to the Mum and comments about the sis that are freakish.

    perez i agree with your comments at the end. if she doesnt want the reputation of jealous money hungry mom, she should sell it for free. but let's face it, it would be a huge slap in the face either way and at least she'll get the publicity she doesnt deserve.
    always about the money
    why do celeb moms always s

    leave perez alone for his typos. He is trying to relay these stories as fast as he hears them so sometimes things are said in haste. no one is perfect.

    use spell check perez. it shows you're uneducated when you can't spell
    physical. a simple word.

    The mother and sister: unbelievably low class, unscrupulous leeches. Just because you're related to someone doesn't mean you should interact with them or that they will treat you with respect. Bale has finally found that out the hard way. I cringe to think what kind of witchy, pushy stagemother Mrs Bale was when her young son was in Empire of the Sun. Amazing he's survived her.

    I was there @ the Batman premiere and you could tell that he too wasnt happy…signing autograph but no smiles…his wife stuck with him like glue…makes sense now, her tryin 2 help him. He left very early from the premiere 2, 2 our surprise!

    Gee, Perez, you flip-flop more than a crooked politician. First you're on Bale's side. Then there's video of him having a bad day and you change your mind. Now, you're sure it's a shakedown again.

    Hmmmm… maybe you should try not blogging every little brain fart you have and try getting all the information before you make yourself look like a bigger idiot.

    I'm waiting for the day someone posts a video of you having your meltdown at Hot Topic and for you to whine about "having a bad day", but no one else is allowed to.

    Your standards are weak. Seriously weak.

    Yay! Christian is my baby:)
    i knew he couldnt hurt a fly.
    those money grubbing bitches deserve to be put into jail for lying to the police.
    this is ridiculous of course they bring up this story after a week of box sales to see if it would be worth their while. why now? why not a year ago before batman (biggest box office hit) came out?

    money drives people to do shameful things.
    its disgusting!

    I hate to interrupt this high-level "discussion" with an actual fact, but "assault" is legally defined as making a physical threat, not a a physical attack. If a physical attack follows, the perp is then charged with "assault and battery."

    Bale is a talented (no, ridiculously talented) class act. For a kid who was pushed into acting, it is surprising he turned out so together. It is a good thing he happens to be great at it and started to love performing. He clearly doesn't get along with his mother - and it appears that it wasn't from a lack of effort on his part. He lived with his father after she forced him to make a choice on which and insisted he go to auditions at an early age. She has done nothing but put him and his wife down. This is a bogus accusation. She is clearly after money and hopefully this will be cleared up soon.

    What is "psychical contact"? Is that like in your brain or what? Is his mom a clairvoyant sending shockwaves into his head or something? Sometimes I feel like I'm reading Courtney Love's blog when I come here.

  46. 46

    "….it's been reported there was some psychical contact…"

    Do you mean "physical" contact? This site has more grammatical/spelling errors than a second grader's book report. Do you even have editors? Hire me, I'll do it for you!

    THANK YOU PEREZ! I DON'T THINK YOUR FLIP FLOPPING. I THINK YOU'RE KEEPING AN OPEN MIND!
    .
    THANK YOU ALSO FOR POSTING CHRISTIAN BALE PICS THAT SHOW HIM HEALTHY AND HOT! MAYBE A FEW AMERICAN PSYCHO SNAPS IF YOU CAN FIND EM!
    .
    HE PLAYS SO MANY INTENSE ROLES THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF GAUNT SCRUFFY PICS OF HIM OUT THERE.

    Love him! Everyone has family drama and gets in fight with their family sometimes. His mom is crazy for getting the police involved. Never cool.

    He probably did shoved her but that doesn't mean you charge him with assualt (a more serious crime) If we did that than everyone would be in jail lol.

    You owe your readers AND Christian Bale an apology for jumping on the bandwagon earlier and condemning him before you had the facts. Your gossip is becoming increasingly worthless. I think the only reason why I still check this site out is to see just how low you stoop to stay relevant.

    Aww this sux! His mom should keep her trap shut! He's a REALLY REALLY great acotr and I've loved him for quite some time now, sense American Psycho and Velvet Goldmine! Two of my favorite movies EVER! Hey Christain, I love U and not cuz UR hot, I enjoy UR acting!

    Did I just read that his mom was a former clown??? I can't believe no one else commented on that. Doesn't that clear it all up? Clowns are fucking creepy.

    Perez blatantly ripped the wording of this story off from the AP, is it really that hard to write your own take on the story. you got busted stealing pics without paying for them, is a plagerism lawsuit?

    fattie's gotten rich on using other peoples shit

    This has always been about money. He's a former child star, his mother was all about Christian's money then and now. I hope no one in the media will give this woman any kind of money, not one dime. This looks like a job for some good investigative reporting aimed souly on this mother and siblings. The entire background in reguards to actions , jobs, aquaintances, bills, crime records, lawsuits etc. Let them get a taste of greed via the press. Go get her boys and girls!

    I am not going to pay a cent for any magazine who would help such a devilish mother to get money and fame she doesn't deserve.
    .
    It was Bale's talent that earned him the recognition. HIS money.
    She doesn't deserve anything to be riding on her son's reputation and success.

    the first thing I thought when I heard all this
    MONEY, MONEY, MONEY
    its a sad day when family members make something public of a private situation. I also beleive if he has lost his temper of late….his schedule is obviously strenuous…everyone needs to leave him and his family ALONE!
    I'm moved by his acting and always will be no matter what the gossip mongers say!

  62. 62

    His mom is cuntie which is why he chose to live with his dad in the first place. Christian honey, don't let the bitch get to you. She's jealous of your success + your bank account.

    xoxo, Isa

    Bale is such a great, low key guy. He just happen to be a brilliant actor.
    I never heard of him going fame whoring.
    -
    His mother on the other hand is willing to sell him for the fame and for the higher bidder.

  67. 67

    LEECHY SNATCHES!!!
    .
    FORGET SELLING HER STORY… YOU JUST KNOW THE ONLY REASON THESE TWO CARNY TWATS WENT TO THE POLICE WAS TO CREATE A BASIS FOR SUING HIM.
    .
    HE'LL NOT WANT MORE BAD PRESS AND WILL PAY THEM OFF! PAYDAY!
