Officials want Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry to take parenting classes together, counselling recommended for three-year-old Nahla.
Can’t Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry just get along, for the sake of their three-year-old daughter? That resounding “NO!” you just heard is from them, their neighbours, Nahla’s nanny, the teachers at Nahla’s school, and the mailman. But even that’s not enough to make the social workers who drew the short straws to handle their case stop from trying to make Nahla’s parents come together for the greater good.
According to Radar Online, the Los Angeles Department of Children & Family Services is recommending that Halle and Gabriel take parenting classes. OK, sounds good, right? Well, hold up; Department of Children & Family Services — you want them to take the classes together? Gulp. Er, that could be a problem, considering they’ve both made it their sole purpose in life to make the other look like a crap parent.
Social workers interviewed Halle and Gabriel together on Friday (separate interviews with both were conducted earlier last week), and the tension in the room was as uncomfortable as Justin Timberlake in a jewelry store. According to a source close to the couple, the purpose of the joint session “was to get these two in the same room and recognize that all of this fighting is hurting their daughter.” Thanks, Captain Obvious. But did anything come of it?
“It was an emotionally charged interview as Gabriel feels that he can’t do anything right, and there is reason to believe his concerns,” revealed the source. “Social workers have written an extensive report that will be given to the judge for his consideration, and that report will recommend that no changes in custody be made. The report recommends that Halle and Gabriel attend parenting classes together, so that they can co-parent Nahla together. The classes will give them the tools to work through their issues, and hopefully become better parents for it.”
The official investigation by child protective services will “remain open while Gabriel and Halle take the parenting classes and to ensure that Nahla's safety and well-being continue. Gabriel absolutely wants to work with Halle, and that hasn't happened, so he is hopeful that can happen now,” the source says.
“Of course, Gabe doesn’t like being accused of hurting his child or anyone, but he knows the truth and that he didn’t do anything the nanny has accused him of,” the insider added. “He wants to take this negative and turn it into a positive so that he can be the best father for Nahla.” So here’s hoping the anger management classes he agreed to enrol in will help with that.
The worst part of all this is, of course, poor Nahla. TMZ is reporting that officials are recommending the three-year-old girl go into counselling after being treated like a yo-yo, a thing, an inanimate object that two pretty people constantly fight over.
Halle and Gabriel are scheduled to be in court today, with sources telling TMZ that she wants the judge to prohibit her ex from having any contact with Nahla until the criminal child endangerment investigation has been resolved. (Nahla’s nanny filed a police report against Aubry, whom she accused of pushing her while she was holding the girl, and has since asked for a restraining order against him. Gabriel denies pushing or even touching the nanny.)
If Halle and Gabe can pull it together, and get through parenting classes without it turning into the Wild West, the rest of Nahla’s childhood could be a happy one. All her parents have to do is grin beautifully and bear it, right? Halle’s an Oscar winner and Gabriel’s a model; together, the two can out-fake-smile the best of them.
THE REST OF THE WEB
Blame Taylor Swift for Lea Michele’s hard-posing (Lainey Gossip)
Minnie neither of them parade the daughter in front of th media, the paps stalk them. Halle is just trying to protect her child from a man whose personality changed when he found out he couldn't control her.
Her record of personal relationships left a lot to be desired! Hope the judge takes her new relationship in to consideration and how it is affecting her daughter.
Really? So, this whole "Poor Halle" bit is getting a little old. Every relationship she's in seems to involve a man who's mistreated her ... & now her daughter too?? I've seen about a hundred pics of her ex with their daughter (both looking very happy)... vs about 5 of her with her daughter.
once a councillor sits down with the child and listens to waht she has to say this will all be straightened out I'm sure.
Are you affraid of your daddy, is he always yelling at you, does he get upset alot and easily. Is mum always trashing daddy in front of you.
While the two of them were together, all Halle did was praise Gabriel as a wonderful and devoted father and partner. Since they broke up, she has changed her tune, now he's an abuser with a bad temper. I haven't heard too much bad mouthing on Gabriels part, but it seems that Halle's camp has been doing all of the talking. Please, for the sake of the poor child why don't the both of you grow up.
Ya well we don't really know what is going on. Did it ever occur to you that maybe Halle is concerned that her child isn't harmed in some way...by a man that seems to loose his cool easily....but then again do we know if this is actually a fact. Frankly I can make no judgement as I don't know the facts. Halle seems fairly together in interviews and seem fairly evolved when you listen to her...just saying
This whole drama has been going on for what seems like years (maybe it IS). It's disgusting - that poor little girl. Parenting classes?? Those two, like many unfit parents, should not have had a child in the first place
Your parents first & fore most, you both should be ashamed of yourselves for prancing your daughter through the media, shame on you both, grow up & get along, jesus........Minnie
The only common denominator in all of Hallie's bad relationships and troubles are Hallie herself. I'm so sick of hearing this woman whine and cry about how it's so unfair that she's treated so badly. I wish she'd just go away. And leave that poor kid with her Dad so she doesn't have all her mothers neurosis passed on to her.
the only thing Halle Barry wanted was a good looking f.c... so she could produce a great looking child for her to hang on her hand...like a purse...like a jewel, like a thing. She forgot that he wasn't just a sperm donator.
I truely believe Halle is a do anyhting saying to win kind of person and she is way outta control on this. It took her a long time to get pregnant and she will never let anyone tell her what to do WITH HER DAUGHTER including her own father
Parenting classes. Absolutely.
Together? NO!
Imagine how every other parent in those classes is going to be shortchanged by the hysteria and drama of these two grandstanding and one-upping each other.
That poor child.
Child services in the USA take away children from their parents all the time. This may be a good case to protect the child from battling parents - a time out is necessary. That Halle keeps painting Gabriel as the bad guy only alienates her child further.
I agree K, I think the problem here is Hallie.It seems that she is determined to keep Gabriel away from his little girl, she is in my opinion , a controller. I think she has done this with every guy she has married or gone with, and she always makes them out to be the bad guy..hopefully all will work out for little Nahla.
Halle is a unfit mother. How come just because she is the mother she can dictate to the father. Women can be such douchbags at times. Other than very few exceptions who would you be able to trust your children with more than their father. Hope you get though this Gabe and from no on what those so called africian amercans. You know the ones that aren't really???? Just another mixed breed just like me!!!!

Yeah, you're right spyke. I get it so messed up times.

Another mess of a child in the making.
People such as Halle and Gabriel should stick to having affairs and not have children. Who'd want children anyway!

THIS IS WHAT HALLE BERRY WANTED FOR HER DAUGHTER!

As I said beforehand, Hallee your daughter will grow to resent and hate you for trying to keep her father out of her life.
Enjoy that later.
