Christian Bale’s professional career may be at all an
all-time high, but his family life certainly leaves something to be desired. Although Bale has remain tight-lipped about allegations that he assaulted his mom and his sister, a source close to the Dark Knight star has shed some light on the charges.
Bale has not exactly been tight with either his
mom Jenny or his sister Sharon since his parents’ divorce over a decade ago. Christian
sided with Dad; Sharon
sided with Mom. (Apparently, no one explained the whole
making-your-kids-pick-sides-in-a-divorce-causes-irreparable-psychological-damage
phenomenon to Christian’s parents). But just before the Dark Knight premiere, Sharon
and Jenny reached out to Christian, and he reluctantly agreed to meet them in
his hotel room
Turns out they were hoping Christian would front them some
cash for a business scheme they’d cooked up. Christian got mad and ordered them
out of the room, allegedly pushing his mother out of the door. Sharon and Jenny
went to the cops, who questioned Christian and then released him. He has not
been formally charged yet.

But that hasn’t prevented his mother from trying to sell her
assault story to the media. Perhaps she won’t need her son’s financial
assistance after all…
