Halle Berry’s former husband Olivier Martinez has filed a petition seeking a temporary restraining order against the actress, alleging that she physically abused their 12-year-old son, Maceo. According to court documents cited by PEOPLE, Martinez claims Berry attacked the boy during an alleged September 26 incident, including putting her hands around his neck and choking him. He is seeking sole custody of their son and has raised concerns about what he describes as previous incidents involving physical, verbal, and emotional abuse. Berry has strongly denied the allegations through her attorney, who called Martinez’s filing “entirely meritless and deliberately misleading.”
