Halle Berry leaves film to fight for custody

(HMG Celebrity News) – Halle Berry is making sure everyone knows she has pulled out of a role in “New Year’s Eve” (being replaced by Katherine Heigl) that was scheduled to shoot in New York this week “due to pending custody litigation involving her daughter.” Berry and her ex-boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry were often seen cordially co-parenting in the wake of their April split , but now are going to legal war over daughter, Nahla, who will turn 3 in March. Halle’s publicist Meredith O’Sullivan sent out a statement to many magazines announcing her leaving the movie because:

“She has attempted to resolve these custody issues amicably with her daughter’s father, Gabriel Aubry, directly, but given his lack of cooperation, Halle has no choice but to seek swift judicial intervention.” “Halle has serious concerns for her daughter’s well-being while in the care of her father for any extended period of time and is prepared to take all necessary steps to protect her,” her rep adds.
