This is stunning news, but Batman star Christian Bale has been apparently accused of assaulting his mother and sister. The actor’s mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, claim Bale lashed out at London’s Dorchester Hotel on Sunday night July 20th, and they reportedly filed a police report in Hampshire, England on Monday (21Jul08).
Th authorities were reluctant to speak to Bale on Monday, because he was promoting his new movie, The Dark Knight, in London, for the first European screening . A source tells The UK Sun, “It was a very difficult situation but it would have been wrong to have wrecked the premiere over a complaint which we don’t yet know is founded in truth. A mother filed a report against their son and they have serious doubts?
“But Mr Bale will be contacted at the earliest opportunity and be asked to provide an account of anything that happened.” A police spokesman says, “We can confirm we have received allegation from another force in relation to an alleged incident in central London.”

Police are expected to make attempts to question the Wales-born actor today. But one expects with the way authorities tip-toe around celebrities that this will likely all get swept under the rug quickly, unless Christian’s mom talks with the press.  Interesting side note, Christian’s father who is now deceased divorced his mother (jenny) and married  Gloria Steinem.

Update: Christian Bale has turned himself into police voluntarily in response to the domestic assault charge.He went to Belgravia police station in central London earlier today and is still there, being held in custody.

When asked if Bale had been arrested, a police spokesman said “A 34-year-old man attended a central London police station this morning by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault. He currently remains in custody.”

His family is not talking, which is a good thing right now.
