New York, Feb 2 (IANS) Model Gabriel Aubry, who is embroiled in custody battle with ex-girlfriend Halle Berry, has hit back at claims that their daughter would be unsafe in his care.
‘While Gabriel is disappointed in Halle’s decision to falsely malign him publicly and for her own purposes, he refuses to be pulled into her dispute over a cancelled film production,’ people.com quoted Aubry’s representative as saying.
‘Gabriel also refuses to air their issues in the press as he believes this may ultimately harm their daughter. The fact is that Gabriel is a caring father who shares custody of Nahla,’ the representative added.
Berry, 44, had issued a statement stating that she had dropped out of the movie ‘New Year’s Eve’ to focus on ‘custody issues’ related to Nahla.
‘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,’ said a statement.
