Bale Arrested for Allegedly Assaulting Mother, Sister
  • "The Dark Knight" actor Christian Bale was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly assaulting his mother and sister, according to British media reports.

    Earlier Tuesday, the Welsh-born actor was in custody at a central London police station being questioned by officers over the incident, said to have taken place in his hotel suite.

    “A 34-year-old man attended a Central London police station this morning and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault,” a police spokeswoman said, according to the Times of London.

    Bale, 34, is alleged to have lashed out in his suite at Park Lane’s Dorchester Hotel on Sunday.

    According to Sky News, Bale's mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, went to police on Monday to make a formal allegation against Bale. The complaint about the actor was then passed to the Metropolitan Police for further investigation.

    A police spokeswoman told British media: "A 34-year-old man attended a central London police station this morning by appointment. He was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault. He currently remains in custody."

    Despite the alleged incident and report, Bale was allowed to attend the first European screening of the new Batman blockbuster "The Dark Knight" in London's West End on Monday night.


Bale, like Ledger, seems like something of a dark fellow in real life, one of those "brooding" actors. I hope this isn't the beginning or symptom of some sort of personal crisis that, like Ledger, ends badly....if, for no other reason, the press will invent some sort of "Batman curse."

Nah. My money's on Keaton trying to get his old gig back...or maybe a bitter George Clooney, sick with the realization of what a Batman movie can be like with a good writer and director.

Actually, sounds like one of those things where the family probably thinks it deserves money from him, or something, and are trying to frame him because he won't give it to them. I can't see him just "lashing out" at his mother and sister for no reason...

I'm sure Bale had a lunch meeting with Cliff Huxtable at the Four Seasons in 20 minutes or had to return some videotapes.

His mom is also his sister? No wonder he's so fucked up.

Ohmigod there IS a Batman curse.

I agree with Pro....this doesn't make sense at all. He was just on TMZ yesterday. they were showing the footage of him getting on the plane heading to London and he was happy as hell. Signing things for fans and talking to the TMZ scum. He may do dark roles but I think he is not the type of person to do this. But like basams says how well do we know him? I just find it fishy that they went to the police to report this "crime".

"Assault" can mean anything, even not really hitting a person. He's out on bail now, and his sister and mom are hiding from the reporters now. We'll see how this turns out.

"Christian Bale attended a London police station today on a voluntary basis," read a statement from Bale's lawyer, Simon Smith, of the London-based firm Schillings. "Bale, who denies the allegation, cooperated 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."

typical G-man post. you overlook Val Kilmer who is well known for being difficult and having a bad attitude.
but of course you blame the very liberal Clooney, who is known to be a very nice guy.
And no mention of Adam West? Are you so ageist that you can't conceive of an old man beating up a woman and blaming a younger man?

Bale did this for a publicity stunt 'cause his little Batman movie is doing so poorly.
