UPDATE: Christian Bale arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother

July 22nd, 2008 // 89 Comments

Christian Bale was picked up by Scotland Yard this morning after his mother and sister claimed he assaulted them in his London hotel room Sunday night. Police didn’t arrest Christian for questioning yesterday because of The Dark Knight premiere. Also, he’s not considered a flight risk (Really? Batman?) and the cops don’t quite believe the seriousness of the allegations, according to The Sun:

A source said: “It was a very difficult situation but it would have been wrong to have wrecked the premiere over a complaint which we don’t yet know is founded in truth.”

It’s a probably a simple matter of Christian wanting to sleep in his cape, but his mom wouldn’t let him. So he hung her from the balcony by her ankle and left a note for Commissioner Gordon. Ha ha! Kids.

UPDATE: TMZ is reporting the alleged assault was most likely verbal which apparently you can get arrested for in England. Ah, those wacky Brits. Christian Bale has already been released and his reps issued the following statement: “Mr. Bale, who denies the allegation, co-operated throughout, gave his account in full of the events in question and has left the station without any charge being made against him by the police. At this time, there will be no further comment by Mr. Bale.”

    He’s a serious martial artist. His mom is 60. WTF? This sounds trumped up to me. Maybe his mom and sister got caught sleeping with Adam West, the original batman, and Christian flipped out?

    I’m guessing mom was sneaking out with the keys to the Batmobile and he stopped her. Bad idea, mom…

    I watched a bio on him and his father left his mom in England and took him to LA so he could work on his career. Perhaps the mom and sister still feel bitter about it and proceeded to bug him about it or money or something; and they finally got a negative response from him. I am not excusing his behavior but the entire story has not come out.

    Isn’t assault just the threat of physical violence whereas battery refers to unwanted physical contact? If so, then all he did was threaten to harm them. (Not excusing his behavior, but haven’t most of us done that to various family members?)

    Who can honestly say they have never punched their sister in the face because she’s a stupid whore, or told their parents they were going to kill them in a violent explosion.

    I love this. Everybody’s falling down, knocking heads in their rush to fellate everybody associated with Batman, making Heath Ledger out to be the greatest actor of his generation and Christian Bale the most humble, nicest guy, willing to step aside for Heath’s legacy. It turns out – SURPRISE – Ledger was a loser druggie and unfit dad, and Bale was so good in American Psycho because he is one.

    Time to stop pretending to bash while waiting desperately for a chance to suck the celebrity cock. If you can (I doubt it). I see arthritis of the knees and jaws in your futures.

    I was keenly disappointed when I finally found naked Linda Carter pics on the internet. Of course, maybe the pictures were perfectly ok but by the time I found them I was totally hooked on “big wet asses”.
