According to reports, Gabriel Aubry has obtained a restraining order against Halle Berry’s fiance Olivier Martinez, who busted up Gabriel’s face during their brutal Thanksgiving brawl. The papers that Gabriel filed paint an all together different picture than the original story the LAPD was given. In the documents, Gabriel says the day before Thanksgiving, he took he and Halle’s daughter Nahla to her school play. Halle and Olivier showed up and Olivier walked up to Gabriel and whispered in his ear in French: “I want to beat the s–t out of you right now. We’re going to take Nahla right now and you’re not going to follow us.” However, the next day, Gabriel says he took Nahla to Halle’s Hollywood Hills home around 10 AM. He says in a completely unusual move, Olivier came out of the front door. The nanny normally handled the custodial hand-off. Gabriel claims Olivier said: “We need to talk.” Gabriel says he walked toward his car to close his door when Olivier jumped off the stairs and knocked Gabriel to the ground and started brutally beating him, screaming that Gabriel cost them $3 million dollars to fight the custody war. As Olivier assaulted Gabriel, he screamed that they were going to move to Paris and Gabriel had better move there too or Olivier would kill him! Drama….drama and more drama!
