Batman "Assaults" Mum: Christian Bale Investigated

[Earth 2 Chris]

The reporting on this story is all over the place. This morning it seems like, Aussie stated, that reports are claiming this is more serious than it seemed late yesterday.

Could be, or it could be the whole "rumor down the line" syndrome where one outlet is just running what the other one said. Time will tell...or maybe not.

I wonder if the movie's revenue will take a hit for this either way?

Just watched the news here. . .and they aren't in anyway making this sound like a verbal assault. . .and apparently now the MEDIA at least claim that Bale is blaming his "Lashing out" on depression after the death of Heath Ledger and current marital difficulties he is experienceing.

It is also stating he was arrested. . .not charged. . .and that when he left the Police Station that it is on BAIL conditions, and that he is expected to be present for further proceedings in relation to this matter. In the interim he is permitted to return to the US for continued filming on the Terminator movie. . .but expected to return.

So if he is on Bail. . .and our news at least describes it as an "attack", and a "lashing out". . .and no mention of verbal anywhere. . . is there more to this???

Time will tell. Media rarely tell the truth, or get the story right. . .at least initially.

The bad part is, "the beating" and arresst is still getting around. I was driving home from work and some DJ was talking about how much money Dark Knight made, "but that still didn't keep Christian Bale from getting arressted for beating on his mom" There are only two parts right with that story. Bale and his mom. The rest is pure hogwash, but that's what will get around. Hopeful, responsible outlets will clarify this mess and Bale can move on.

Wee67...I suggest you edit that title of your thread...the BEATS MOM part...it's exaggerated and misleading to say the least.

The 1st reports I read,made it sound exactly like he posted

I thought he hit them for sure,the way they made it sound

Also, in addition to the revelation that the accusation was "verbal assault", a further point of clarification is that Bale was not "arrested" as some sources have reported, nor has he been charged with any crime. He went in for questioning after his mother and sister accused him of verbal assault, then left of his own recognizance. End of story.

[toys2cool]

Maybe his mom was asking for it.

what did you say mom? the Joker was the star of the movie?!? wham!!!

hey leave mom alone!

why you little *****!! this is the last time I ever bring you to a premier...wham!!!

[The Bat]

None of us knows the facts here. "Innocent till proven guilty", anyone? I myself was arrested and prosecuted for an assault I did not commit. These things happen.

Same here...a Cop attack Me....then the Police turned around, and charged Me with assault! But...I beat them in Court...and justice prevailed!

The Superficial - UPDATE: Christian Bale arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother



So it indeed sounds like much of nothing.

Chris

It does sound like nothing...everything thrown out of proportion.

Mom and sis probably hassle him for money all the time, ok, I'm assuming that, lol...but like I said...it does sound like a nothing event.

[Hector]

Many of you are jumping the gun and assuming Bale is the bad guy here.

First of all it was NOT a physical assault...it was a verbal assault...and that remains to be seen whether it's true or not (and who instigated it).

I just get irked a little when people automatically assume the female is innocent and the male is guilty without having any proof as of yet.

I have read somewhere else that there's a history of drugs problems concerning some of his family members...perhaps that could have been one of the causes that produced this whole fiasco.

I'll shall reserve judgment until all the evidence presents itself.

This is in the UK. . .so his Mum probably wanted Chris to take her to the Premier. . .but wasn't prepared to get out of her dressing gown, fluffy slippers and rollers in her hair. And then she said "AND your sister is coming too. . . I'll pay the $10 for her if I have too but she is coming and sitting with us. . . .you're a very naughty little boy". BALE: "But Mummy. . .I want to sit with my friends!"

Chris meanwhile had been hoping to take a super model. . .or someone at least mildly S-E-X-Y. Who wouldn't have at least yelled at Mum under these circumstances.

"A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can get it's boots on." Never truer than it is today.

I blame WEE67!

Down with reporters!

The Superficial - UPDATE: Christian Bale arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother

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."

So it indeed sounds like much of nothing.

"Assault" covers even the most minor of altercations, it doesn't mean he hit them at all.
