Halle Berry's oldest child, Nala, is responding to child abuse allegations against Halle.

Back on October 1st, Halle Berry was accused by her ex-husband, Olivier Martinez, of being violent towards their 13-year-old son, Maceo.

Martinez filed for sole custody of Maceo, claiming that Hallie physically abused him in a September 26th incident and alleged other instances of abuse in recent years.

Barry has vehemently denied the accusation, saying that she is a victim of domestic violence herself.

And in response to Martinez's accusations, Nala, the 18-year-old daughter of Halle Berry, denied those claims.

She said, I never observed anything abusive about her parenting.

She described her mom as a loving and devoted parent who is warm, supportive, and deeply involved.

She said, I have never seen my mom hit, slap, choke, grab, or physically abuse Maceo in any way.

She said she's never seen her mom place her hands around Maceo's neck, put him in a chokehold or restrict his breathing.

Those were some of the allegations against her mom in that filing from Olivier Martinez.

Nala says that she split her time with Hallie and her father, Gabriel Aubrey, and she says that she has lived with Maceo for most of his life.

She says that her mom has always made time for her children and prioritized what was important to them.

She said that her mother has never spoken negatively about her father or Maceo's father.

She said, my mom has always encouraged us to maintain loving relationships with our fathers.

And then she alleged that Olivier Martinez beat up her father when she was a child.

She said, in all my years of living with my mom, I have never witnessed her act violently toward anyone.

However, I do remember Olivier beating up my father in our driveway when I was little.

So a lot of sides of this story here.

Do you think it means anything that the 18-year-old is speaking out in support of Halle Berry? I

mean, I don't know.

It's...

You would think if somebody has an interest in trying to protect their mom, they would speak out for them.

So it's hard to say.

I don't know.

We don't know what anybody's like behind closed doors.
