EXCLUSIVE: Halle Berry's Jealous Rage Over Girlfriend Started Custody Battle, Says Source
Posted on Feb 01, 2011 @ 01:56PM
Choose between your girlfriend and your daughter!
That’s the ultimatum Halle Berry threw at her Baby Daddy, model Gabriel Aubry when he began dating a high-profile TV star, a source familiar with the situation tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.
It was the beginning of a custody dispute that is now headed for court after Halle released as statement Monday claiming she will fight for custody of her daughter as she “has serious concerns for her daughter's well-being while in the care of her father for any extended period of time and is prepared to take all necessary steps to protect her."

But Berry, 44, is also driven by jealousy and a desire to control her ex-boyfriend, the source close to the situation claims.
Aubrey, 35, believe Berry is using two-year-old Nahla as a “pawn,” while trying to control him.

"The real trouble started last year when Gabriel started dating a high profile reality TV star," the source tells RadarOnline.com. "Halle totally lost it with Gabriel and gave him an ultimatum - to choose between dating this girl or having a relationship with his daughter.
"Gabriel was furious. Halle has absolutely no right to tell him who he can and can't date, especially when you consider she's already moved on herself and is dating Olivier Martinez, but even worse in his mind, was her willingness to dangle their daughter in front of him as bait to make him do what she demands.

"The problem was that they had no legal custody agreement in place so he was pretty much at her mercy as to when he got to see their daughter. So, he did what she wanted - he broke it off with the girl - but then he started legal proceedings to set up his custody rights so Halle couldn't pull that crap on him again.
"Well, that totally tipped her over the edge, now the gloves are well and truly off.

"Gabriel has suspected for a while that Halle is having him followed by a PI, and now she's coming out with all this bull about how she's worried about Nahla's 'well being' while she's in Gabriel's care.
"It's absolute trash talk - Gabriel is an amazing father, and he's hardly party central - the guy is bordering on one of the most boring, regular people I know!
"This is all about Halle not being able to control and manipulate Gabriel, therefore she's hitting him where she knows it will hurt most - holding his daughter away from him.”
RadarOnline.com was the first to report on the couple's split last April and then to report that things were turning nasty despite other outlets' reports to the contrary.

Halle, according to the source, has threatened several times to keep Nahla away from Gabriel.
"That's been her MO since they split, anytime she got angry at him the first thing she would threaten would be him not being able to see Nahla,” the source said.
And as RadarOnline.com previously reported, Gabriel has voice mails and emails from Halle that do NOT show her in a flattering way – and he will use them.

"If she's not careful though this could backfire right in her face. Gabriel has a whole load of crazy emails and voicemails from her that show the truth about what she's like and prove what a control freak manipulator she is,” the source said.
"Put it this way - Gabriel will do anything and everything to keep his daughter in his life. He loves her more than life itself and he will move heaven and earth to ensure she's safe, balanced and happy."

As RadarOnline.com previously reported the Canadian born model has already consulted attorneys in both Canada (where Nahla has duel citizenship) and California, and is now planning on pursuing sole custody, something that was never his intention when he first initiated legal proceedings.

Convenient H is worried about N's welfare. Never before was G unfit. When I read G filed to establish his rights I thought it a good idea. If true H's using N to control G, I don't blame G for protecting his relationship w/ N.

What a control freak & total narcissist. Wonder how her man is taking her obsession over Gabriel? She needs to grow up & move on. Obviously a startlette who has let her fame get to her head thinking she can control everything & everyone around her

Disappointed in both. Keep your personal business out of the tabloid media for the sake of your daughter. She deserves to be put 1st! Halle was stupid to not have him sign a "no disclosure" contract so he can't talk about her.

Aubry is a skank, so are the women he brings around his daughter. Halle knew he didn't any class nor sense when she married him. She needs to quit the emotional reactions and come up with a plan.

They were never married.

Gabriel better study up on Parental Alienation Syndrome because Halle is exactly the type to try and brain wash their daughter into hating him.

GA was good enough for HB to take over 30 pregnancy tests in an effort to have a child with him. Warning-don't bash the daddy for the little girl to hear about it. Nahla will hate you for it. BTW Once you dump a partner move on.

Last summer Halle was photgraphed all over Europe with Olivier Martinez, she has no right to question who Gabriel goes to a basketball game with and is a selfish & controling narcissist to deny Nahla equal time with her father.
