Christian Bale Denies Assault Allegations
Christian Bale should be celebrating the box office success of The Dark Knight. Instead, he's been arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother and sister — allegations he denies. The Batman star was arrested in London on Tuesday, following assault allegations made by his mother, Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40. After he was questioned, he was released and, pending further inquiry, he'll return to a police station in September.
After he was released, his rep released this statement: "Christian Bale attended a London police station today, on a voluntary basis, in order to assist with an allegation that had been made against him to the police by his mother and sister. Mr. Bale, who denies the allegation, cooperated throughout, gave his account in full of the events in question, and has left the station without any charge being made against him by the police. At this time, there will be no further comment by Mr. Bale."
The alleged incident took place Sunday night at London's Dorchester hotel, where Christian was staying before Monday's U.K. premiere of Knight. The day after the incident, Christian appeared on a morning talk show and attended the premiere that evening with his wife, Sibi.
Christian is scheduled to travel to Barcelona for Thursday premiere of the blockbuster film, which also stars the late Heath Ledger.

He is a good guy. He appears to not like the limelight and the paps, which I think is natural. I loved him in Empire of the Sun and am happy for his success. He deserves it. His wife Sibi and daughter Emmaline are so beautiful! I hope all goes well for Christian!

Don't believe it! If he lost his temper they must have done something to him. This will blow over and be forgotten. His wife and child are gorgeous!

I think it is BS anyways.I dont think he even touched them I think they just wanted attention.The timing was funky which just says that its BS.I adore Christian Bale as an actor and I dont think he would attack his own mom and sister when his movie premiere is freshly out,thats stupid.
