Will Oscar Winner Halle Berry quit the business to protect her daughter? Last week, an ugly brawl broke out at her house between her baby daddy Gabriel Aubry and her boyfriend Olivier Martinez. Aubry took a beating and was arrested over the Thanksgiving holiday after dropping his daughter Nahla off to Berry. Aubry says he didn’t start the fight and was wrongly arrested. He claims Martinez threatened to kill him. Earlier this month, Berry lost her bid to take her daughter out of the country to live. A judge ruled that it would be harmful to the little Nahla. Martinez is an ex-boxer and broke his right hand during the fight. Aubry may have hurt his chances to see his daughter. Berry's career could also suffer from this. She hasn’t had a hit movie in years, and lately more attention has been paid to her
troubled personal life and problems with men.
