Christian Bale Arrested After Claims Of Assault By His Own Mother

LONDON � Batman star Christian Bale was arrested Tuesday over allegations of assault, British media reported.

British media had reported that Bale's mother and sister complained they were assaulted by the 34-year-old actor at the Dorchester Hotel in London on Sunday night, a day before the European premiere of his latest film, "The Dark Knight."

The women made the allegation at a local police station in southern England on Monday, Britain's Press Association news agency said. It later said Bale had been arrested, citing "police sources."

Asked whether Bale was in custody, a police spokesman did not refer to him by name but said: "A 34-year-old man attended a central London police station this morning by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault."

The spokesman spoke anonymously in line with force policy and refused to go into more detail. British police do not name suspects before they are formally charged.

U.S.-based representatives for Bale didn't immediately return messages seeking comment. Repeated phone calls to Bale's London representative went unanswered.

The Sun newspaper said police didn't question the actor Monday because they didn't want to interfere with the premiere of the movie.

Wales-born Bale first made a splash as the child star of Steven Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun" in 1987. His screen credits also include "American Psycho," "The Machinist" and "Batman Begins."

In "The Dark Knight," Bale reprises the role of wealthy playboy Bruce Wayne and his crime-fighting alter-ego Batman, a brooding vigilante superhero still scarred by the murder of his parents.

The film, which stars the late Heath Ledger as Batman's nemesis The Joker, took in a record $158.4 million at the box office in its opening weekend in the U.S. last week.

Because we all know that celebreties are saints and would never assault anyone

Posted by Irishaddict on Jul-22-2008 16:19:

this is just the more probable explanation. gut instincts are usually right.

women too.. think about it:

women cost time and money

let's say women = time x money

everyone knows the wall street catchphrase "time is money"

so women = money x money = money^2

if money is the root of all evil then money = sqrt(evil) so money^2 = evil

so women = money^2 = evil

/proof.

No, they're not saints. However, I find it hard to believe he'd do something like this the night before the euro premiere of the film and after such a successful opening weekend. Also, the fact that the cops delayed questioning him a day to let him attend the premiere/press conferences lends credence to what I (and others) think happened.

men dont cost nearly as much as women considering how much dating costs and who usually foots the bill, you know in the age of equality and all that

That's true but I dont think you realize how much girls tend to spend on clothes/accessories/makeup. It adds up

not sayin' that it's right, but it's reality...

It's possible the stress got to him, causing him to snap and 'assault' his mom and sister, but that could be as simple as pushing them out of the way or something trivial. If there were any injuries, I'm sure they would have been reported.

Great, now this has me reading TMZ.

There are reports circulating that Christian Bale was arrested for verbal assault, and one of Bale's rep is echoing that. Who knew, but we called around jolly old England and found there is such a thing as verbal assault, Class 4 and Class 5. Class 4 is more aggravated than 5, with "an intent to cause alarm."

I guess he busted out his Batman voice? lol

Posted by Dr. DAS on Jul-22-2008 18:16:

Verbal assault? Lame.

I mean, I'm glad he didn't man-handle mommy, but what a lame charge.

"Christan Bale arrested for jaywalking"

My guess, stress induced breakdown.

"Christian Bale attended a London police station today, on a voluntary basis, in order to assist with an allegation that had been made against him to the police by his mother and sister," the star's lawyers said in the 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."

I was just bringing a different point of view to the table..Since all teh responses before me were one sided.
