Halle Berry Drops Out Of "New Year's Eve" Film, Says She Doesn't Trust Gabe With Nahla's Well-Being

The fight for custody of baby Nahla Aubry is heating up.  Mom Halle Berry, who is currently dating her recent Dark Tide movie co-star Olivier Martinez, has reportedly been replaced in a big comedy film she was recently cast for.  And her rep says Halle pulled out because she needs to focus on getting custody of her 2-year-old baby girl.

 

Details on the impending custody battle when you read on...

 

 

Halle Berry's rep put out a statement saying the seasoned actress has dropped out of the upcoming New Year's Eve comedy movie, also starring fellow Hollywood bigwigs Zac Efron, Josh Duhmel, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Biel, Seth Meyers, Robert DeNiro, and Hilary Swank.

 

Gabriel Aubrey, Nahla's dad and Halle's ex, is going hard with the custody battle and Halle needs more time to focus on what really matters to her.  Especially because Halle says she is concerned for the well-being of her child if Gabe, who has not been cooperating, cares for her for an extended period of time.  Damn.

The statement from her rep:

"Halle Berry was forced to pull out of a film production in New York this week due to pending custody litigation involving her daughter. She has attempted to resolve these custody issues amicably with her daughter’s father, Gabriel Aubry, directly, but given his lack of cooperation, Halle has no choice but to seek swift judicial intervention.

"Halle has serious concerns for her daughter's well-being while in the care of her father for any extended period of time and is prepared to take all necessary steps to protect her."

"Halle has always made the needs and safety of her daughter her first priority and, both while Halle and Gabriel were a couple and since their break-up, Halle has only acted in her daughter’s best interest."

Halle has since been replaced in the movie by actress Katherine Heigel.  The film is regarded as being a sequel to Marshall's successful 'Valentines Day', which grossed over $110 million at the box office.

1.  Speaking of splitsville court battles, the Dream and Christina Milian are still duking it out in court.  And now Christina is demanding more money than the 10% publishing rights of Justin Beiber's "Baby"--which The Dream wrote and receives money for.  Story
