The Dark Knight star, Christian Bale, was arrested by London police today after his mother and sister told authorities that the actor assaulted them. Police were actually going to arrest Bale yesterday, but felt doing so during the European premiere of the biggest movie of the year might have been embarrassing. I think I speak for everyone when I say "What...the...fuck..." The Sun UK reports:

"He is alleged to have lashed out on Sunday night at Park Lane's Dorchester Hotel - where he has a suite. Mum Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, who lives in Dorset, went to a police station in Hampshire yesterday to lodge the allegation. The matter was referred to the Met Police. Detectives, well aware of last night's glittering bash, took the decision not to approach Bale yesterday. But they are expected to make attempts to quiz the Wales-born actor today. 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. "But Mr Bale will be contacted at the earliest opportunity and be asked to provide an account of anything that happened." A Met Police spokesman said: "We can confirm we have received allegation from another force in relation to an alleged incident in central London."


Bale seems like one of the normal actors in Hollywood, so I hope this is just one big misunderstanding. If not, I really hope he used his Batman voice. Girls always get scared when I use that. Not as scared as I would like, but my mom hasn't finished making my cape yet.

Lashed out usually means physical violence. The police would not be called for just trivial verbal assault.

He denies it so I'd rather give him the benefit of a doubt and he's still an awesome actor I just hope this doesn't affect his career in anyway.

from what i heard this is about his mom wanting money. When bale was a young tot his rents got divorced and he had the option of which parent to choose. He picked his dad, who is now his manager and his mom is pissed about the effect. It was told the mom said something very bad about Bale's wife and thats what made him mad. The police said there were no injuries and he was being released, but they arrest everyone there and then take them in for questioning.

So i think this is a case of his mom wanting some of the buck.

More details have been released regarding what exactly caused the altercation between Bale and his mother and sister. Details like his sister asking to "borrow" 200 grand to help raise her kids. And other details like, when Bale refused, his mother and sister threw a hissy fit and started talking shit about his wife. The Sun reports:

"But sources close to 6ft 2in Bale, who has another sister called Louise, said Jenny inflamed the situation by hurling insults about his wife Sibi, 38...A source close to the case said: "Christian is a very wealthy young man and was asked to help his sister out financially. He was asked to loan her $200,000 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."...Sharon, who works in computer programming, has two daughters - aged ten and 12 - from a previous marriage and a baby from a new relationship."
