Halle Berry’s baby daddy yesterday obtained an order of protection against the actress’ fiancé after the men’s Thanksgiving Day brawl — and by the look of his face, he needs one.
Former underwear model Gabriel Aubry — who submitted photos of his black-eyed and badly bruised mug to an LA court — was granted an emergency restraining order even though he was the one arrested after fighting with French actor Olivier Martinez.
In court papers, Aubry said he had just dropped off his and Berry’s 4-year-old daughter, Nahla, at the actress’ Hollywood Hills home at 10 a.m. Thursday when Martinez hissed at him in French, “We need to talk.”
“I went to close my car door so I could to talk to him,” Aubry, a native of French-speaking Quebec, said in the court papers.
“All of sudden, [he] jumped on the side of my body and punched me such that he had taken me down [to] the ground. He continued to punch me at least two or three times . . . kicked me in the ribs with his knee or foot and . . . took my head in his hands and slammed it to the concrete driveway.”
Aubry said Martinez was screaming that Aubry had cost him and Berry $3 million in legal fees when he blocked them from moving with Nahla to Martinez’s native Paris, the documents show.
“When you see the [custody] judge, you’re going to tell him you’re going to Paris or I’m going to kill you,’’ the actor allegedly said. “You’re going to Paris, you’re going to get your $20 grand a month in child support. I’m not just some f–king actor. You don’t know me.”
Martinez snarled, “We called the cops!’’ adding, “You’re going to tell them that you’re the one who attacked me or I’m going to kill you!” according to the documents.
Aubry said he suffered a broken rib and cuts to his mouth that required stitches.
Tensions had hit a boiling point a day earlier, Aubry said.
He, Berry and Martinez were separately at Nahla’s school for a holiday play when Martinez said in French, “I wish I could beat the s–t out of you right now,’’ according to the court papers.
“You’re lucky we’re in a school right now,’’ he allegedly added.
Martinez received an order of protection against Aubry immediately after Thursday’s brawl.
Berry’s rep declined comment yesterday.
