More details are emerging about the family flap and subsequent arrest of The Dark Knight star. Christian Bale. Christian’s sister Sharon asked him for $200,000 to help her bring up her three children. Sharon is a part-time CLOWN, which would explain her financial trouble. Bale apparently refused, and the spat ensued at his Dorchester Hotel suite.
Christian was alleged to have “pushed and shoved†his mom Jenny, 61, and Sharon, 41. But sources close to Bale, say Jenny inflamed the situation by hurling insults about his wife Sandra Sibi Blazic. As you know, unless you’ve been on a desert island for the past week, the fight happened on Sunday night, hours before Monday’s European premiere of Bale’s new Batman film. Interesting timing on the part of mom and sis! The Sun quotes a source close to the case who said:
Christian is a very wealthy young man and was asked to help his sister out financially.
He was asked to loan her £100,000 (approximately $200,000 US) but he refused and that caused an almighty row. During that row, the women claim, he assaulted them by pushing and shoving them. Both Jenny and Sharon are terribly upset over what happened. They did not want any publicity and the last thing they wanted to do was wreck his premiere evening. But they say he bullied them. They are both devastated that it has come to this but want him to be taught a lesson.
Sounds like someone needs to give the whole clan some counseling. Particularly Sharon the clown, who might want to consider a more lucrative line of work.
