Shakedown!

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.
