Hollywood superstar Halle Berry has fired back at her ex-husband Olivier Martinez after he publicly claimed she was failing to meet child support obligations for their 10-year-old son, Maceo.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, Martinez accused Berry of withholding payments, sparking a heated response from the Oscar-winning actress.
Halle's Fiery Response
Berry didn't hold back in her reply, posting on Instagram: "When co-parenting gets messy, the only ones who suffer are the children." She emphasized her commitment to her son's wellbeing, adding, "I've always put Maceo first and will continue to do so."
The Backstory
The former couple, who divorced in 2016 after two years of marriage, have had a tumultuous co-parenting relationship. Sources close to Berry suggest the recent conflict stems from disagreements over parenting time rather than financial matters.

Family law specialists note that high-profile divorces often see these kinds of public disputes. "When emotions run high, social media becomes a battleground," explains celebrity divorce attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan. "It's rarely productive and usually hurts the children involved."
Fans have flooded social media with support for Berry, with many praising her dignified response to the situation.
