Olivier Martinez and Halle Berry’s ex Gabriel Aubry involved in brutal Thanksgiving brawl

Kylie Minogue’s ex Olivier Martinez and Gabriel Aubry were involved in a brutal Thanksgiving brawl yesterday outside the home of Halle Berry.

Martinez – who is now engaged to Berry – reportedly became involved in a fight with Aubry when he dropped off his and Halle’s daughter Nahla.

Olivier reportedly tried to speak to Aubry about the ongoing custody dispute between him and Halle.

After Olivier said to Gabriel ‘We have to move on,’ the Canadian model is said to have pushed the French actor and tried to punch him before a full blown fight broke out.

Gabriel and Halle – who split in 2010 – have been at odds ever since she tried to convince a judge to allow her to move to France with Nahla, a move which was recently blocked by the courts.

Sources told TMZ the fight was ‘brutal’ with the website describing a blow-by-blow account of the melee.

“Olivier blocked [Gabriel’s punch] and the punch struck him in the shoulder instead… Gabriel then pushed Olivier to the ground, a struggle ensued, ending when Olivier pinned Gabriel to the ground.”

Police were called to the home and arrested Aubry for battery. He was charged on his release from hospital and bail was set at $20,000.

Andrew Smith, Commanding Officer, LAPD Media Relations and Community Affairs Group told People: “He [Aubry] was booked for a private persons arrest for battery.”

A judge then issued an emergency protective order – meaning Aubry has to stay 100 yards away from Halle, Olivier and Nahla.

Gabriel was taken to hospital for his injuries after suffering a broken rib, bruises to the face and a possible more serious head injury.

Olivier has a possible broken hand and neck injuries. He arrived at the same Los Angeles hospital for treatment as Gabriel around an hour after him.

It is unclear whether four-year-old Nahla witnessed the fight between her father and stepfather.
