Christian Bale Sister Sharon Wanted Money

Over the weekend Christian Bale was accused by his mother Jenny Bale and sister Sharon Bale of verbal assault, and was arrested. The Sun now reveals Sharon, who has two daughters aged 10 and 12, plus a new baby from a new relationship, asked Christian for $200,000 to raise her children the evening she and her mother accused Christian of assault. Now tabloids are offering Jenny and Sharon big bucks for their story. As we said before, it’s a shakedown.

In the picture above Christian and his wife Sibi Bale attended the Spanish premiere of The Dark Knight in Barcelona, Spain last night, showing no signs of the rumored marital strain. When asked by reporters about the allegations of assault Christian said:

"It’s a deeply personal matter. I would ask you to respect my privacy in the matter."

Jenny and Sharon should be deeply ashamed for what they have done to Christian.

Christian Bale Mother and Sister are Source of Dispute

Christian Bale had an interesting childhood. He grew up in a hippy environment. His mother Jenny Bale was a circus clown and dancer. Christian spent most of his childhood with his sisters Louise Bale and Sharon. On Sunday Jenny and his sister Sharon Bale accused Christian of verbal assault and he was arrested in London.

Christian’s sister Sharon originally denied knowing anything about the alleged assault, but finally admitted:

"OK, there was an incident but the police are dealing with it."

"It is an extremely sensitive situation. There is nothing more I can say."

Christian’s mother Jenny Bale added:

"Yes I was there and yes there was a family situation but the police are handling it, and I cannot say anymore at the moment."

"We didn’t call the police to the scene. I can’t say anymore but we didn’t call the police."

Jenny and her daughter went to a police station in Hampshire to make the allegation of verbal assault, and alleged that Christian pushed his mother out of the way [after his mother pushed Christian to the edge emotionally].

Sources said the argument was over a long-running family dispute.

The family dispute could have been over a lot of things, and was most certainly made worse by the poor relationship between Christian and his mother. In 1991, when Christian was 13 years-old, his father and mother divorced. At the age of 17 Christian moved to Los Angeles to live with his father. His father, David Bale, died at the age of 62 in December of 2003. Since moving to LA Christian has only been back to Wales once.

In a previous interview, Jenny said Christian had never shunned or snubbed her. Despite Christian’s obvious effort to maintain positive relations with his mother and sisters, there are still a lot of raw feelings.

In 1988, a 14-year-old Christian Bale attended the London premiere of "Empire of the Sun" with his mom Jenny and two sisters pictured above. Now that his mother and sister Sharon got him arrested, and accused him of verbal assault, perhaps Christian will now further distance himself from his troubled family. His mother is trouble.
