According to The Chicago Sun Times, Christian Bale has been estranged from his mother and sister ever since he took his father’s side in their divorce in the early ‘90s. On the evening of the alleged assault, Bale agreed to meet with his mom and sis at their hotel, but realized quickly they were only trying to get money from him. Some words were exchanged and Bale’s mom supposedly insulted his wife, Sibi. Bale is said to have pushed his mom out the door, which resulted in her filing the assault charge, an accusation he denies. All this seems terribly fishy to me—a greedy mom who mouths off about his wife? If the most Bale did was enthusiastically escort his mom at the door, I don’t see what the problem is. But this does bring up an interesting question about loyalty in a relationship—should a guy always take his wife’s side and defend her, even among family members?

@balefan I only have faith in people I know, so when it was a possibility that he maybe hit his mom or sister, my love for him was on pause. But now it’s back on!

they were ‘estranged’… therefore i dont see why he would put up with his mother, whom he probably has no relationship with, berate his wife without putting his food down. they obviously wanted money out of the whole thing. who reports their son to the police for yelling? bale: 1 - the’ mom’: 0

His stepmom is a feminist icon for crying out loud. No way would he have laid a finger on any woman, let alone his mother or sister.
He should have never let those two come close to him or his wife. As an grown man, his loyalty should be to his wife. Thus, I am proud of him and his actions.
This all sounds like extortion to me. I bet you anything his mom and sister sue him. I say he should countersue for defamation. He should also file charges against them. They were trespassing, it was his hotel room after all and once asked to leave, they should have left. Instead, they got in his and his wife’s face, baiting him.
Apparently, his sister asked for a loan to help raise her children, but she didn’t just ask for an amount to get by, she asked for 100,000 GBP. Ridiculous! It’s not like he’s been making a lot of money either, only recently has he been bank. He even admitted to having his house repossessed only a few years ago.

And remember, “assault” can just be verbal, it’s “battery” when you hit someone.

One should always side with your partner, except in rare instances where your partner is being abusive to a family.
And successful people are not obligated to “help out” other family members. Especially if the in-need party have been mismanaging their finances.
Mr. Bale still rocks.

I never stopped loving Christian Bale. This whole thing was clearly blown out of proportion.

Bale seems too in-control of himself and too smart to ever physically go after anyone

I was passing through, and the final question caught my attention. I thought it was definatly worth a response, because I’ve watched so many people get it, in my opinion, dead wrong. My wife is my partner, picked above every other woman, every other person, as the single individual that completes my life.
She rates in my esteem above my family, friends, and anyone else I may ever meet. My vows said so, and I meant them. I still mean them.
But you gasp, “What if she’s _wrong_??”
Good question. Pretty rare with my wife, but it doesn’t happen often. Like any other situation where you have a partner, be it business, love, or war, we never ever show a divided front. If my wife is wrong, I’ll back her up anyway, because that what I vowed to do and I won’t let anyone pull us apart.
Does she get a free pass? Absolutly not. Once we’re out of the contention, we’ll have a lengthy conversation and figure out the ins and outs of what’s going on. Does my family deserve an apology? They’ll get it from us if so, also jointly. But everything we do, we do in union.
Why would you want it any other way?
