Christian Bale (Batman star)arrested over assault on mother and sister

[Royalty]

I do not think Bale was actually arrested.  I think he was just questioned. He denies the charges. I bet the cops asked him more about "Dark Knight" than his wife's allegations. I could be wrong.

Agreed. His mother and sister are supposedly druggies, and he will probably be cleared of all allegations and everything will be fine.

Christian Bale's mother and sister are "devastated" that their confrontation with the actor led to his arrest but they also believe he had to be "taught a lesson," London's Sun newspaper reported.

The two went to his hotel room Sunday so his sister, Sharon, could ask him for a $200,000 loan to help raise her three children.

"The Dark Knight" star refused.

At some point during the discussion, Bale's mother, Jenny, reportedly insulted his wife, Sibi Blazic, which caused him to "fly off the handle." He allegedly "pushed and shoved" his mother and sister, The Sun reported.

Bale was questioned for four hours by police earlier this week about the incident but then released. He has denied the charges.

"Christian is a very wealthy young man and was asked to help his sister out financially," a source close to the case told The Sun. "He was asked to loan her £100,000 but he refused and that caused an almighty row.

"During that row, the women claim, he assaulted them by pushing and shoving them. Both Jenny and Sharon are terribly upset over what happened.

They did not want any publicity and the last thing they wanted to do was wreck his premiere evening. But they say he bullied them. They are both devastated that it has come to this but want him to be taught a lesson."

Bale has to return to London in September to find out whether he will be charged.

He probably did not push them, and if he did, they had to do an awful lot to provoke the reaction. They are probably gonna have a hard time proving what happened.

And asking him for money to raise kids? Jebus christ, how fucking pathetic and useless are these women? And then insulting his wife because he refuses them money that they have no right to have?

Fucking bitches.

I really feel for the guy.  With all due respect to his sister, she had no business asking him for a $200K "loan."  What is the likelihood she would have ever repaid it?  Why does she feel she is entitled to any portion of his movie earnings?  If she needs money to "help raise her three children" then she should scale back her lifestyle and/or get a better paying job.

If he, out of the goodness of his heart, decides to share his wealth with her (or anyone else for that matter) that is his choice.  She had no business making such an outsized request.

If your sibling suddenly became very wealthy would you feel it appropriate to ask him/her for money?  I wouldn't.

[MAXX]

hah! i knew it was about money the first time i heard the story.

no matter how wealthy my relatives was i would never ask them for money. thats low, have some pride..

[Deicide]

Agreed, Bateman is his defining role, its reached massive cult status now, he was robbed of an oscar nomination for it too.

Yes, he was truly amazing in that film. It's one of my favourites. We should engage in public protest; I thought he deserved the Oscar as well...

They are whores too.

I just had a hunch that it couldn't be true because it's so out of character for him. The guy is very well behaved in real life.

He didn't give into extortion from crooked family members, yet gets tagged as the bad guy

I hate to say it but that is really the way I see it.  I wish the press would make this extortion point when talking about this story.  There are so many greedy people out there who think they have a right to other people's money.  She wanted a $200K loan?  Yeah, right.  If she needed a loan why didn't she go to a bank?  Could it be that she is a poor credit risk?  That she could never repay the loan?  Was she expecting her brother to "loan" her the money and then forgive the loan later... perhaps even ask him for more money down the road? 

You take out a loan to buy a house or car.  Who takes out a loan to "help raise her three children"?  This all sounds like a vague grab at cash couched in "for the children" rhetoric to me.  Have you ever noticed that our society accepts anything as long as you say it is "for the children"?  Who wants to bet that had she gotten the money it would have gone for fancy clothes, jewelry, spa treatments, etc. for herself--not her kids.  Remember that family that sued Jacko for molestation?  The mother claimed they were being held hostage at Neverland even as she went on shopping sprees and spa treatments and billed Jacko for all of it.  I'm sick of these leeches! 

Bale needs a PR firm to help tell his side of the story.

Bale doesn't seem like the type of guy who would fight back with the media

And our society is full of scumbags who love to sucessful and talented people take pit falls. We've got people sticking up for cokehead whores like Lindsay Lohan, but a super talent and a pop culture icon like Bale gets tagged as a woman hitter when he didn't do anything. 

[youandme]

The biggest movie of the summer and everyones talking about Heath Ledger. He stole the show! Bale had to get his name in the media somehow. It's all a publicity stunt.

Umm, I don't think he would want his family laundry aired out for the world to see his mom and sister are greedy ugly liars, but they did that themselves.

[Deicide]

Bottom Line...Women are scum...

[m8]

He should have killed the bitches.

[Quickerblade]

LOL well his sister and mother are definately scum. So he said "no" to a 200k loan and they probably dissed the wife, hahaah typical whore mentality, who borrows 200k to "raise kids" thats just pathetic, what the hell is the kids father doing?? I said it before i will say it again Woman in general are dumb bitches, only good for fucking. Smart, decent girls are rare.

[Get Rowdy]

He should have killed the bitches.

Mouthy whores, Big Beef It Betil would've killed them!

[Stu]

If Bale wished to beat those whores to within an inch of their lives I don't think any sane man would really blame him...
