Christian Bale's Family Allegedly Asked Him For Money Prior To Argument
Christian Bale was allegedly asked for £100,000 prior to the Dark Knight Premiere in London.
Christian Bale turned himself into authorities in London after his mother, Jenny and sister Sharon accused the actor of assaulting them at the Dorchester Hotel on Monday night.
It's being reported that the fight between Bale and his family members was a result of them asking him for £100,000 to help raise their families. Bale is accused of pushing and shoving his sister and mother after declining to hand over the cash they requested.

A source said, "Things got out of control and he now says he wishes he just left the room. Normally Christian would just call a friend and go out to a pub to cool off. But he was literally trapped into this confrontation with his mother and sister because there was an army of paparazzi and fans outside."
Christian hasn't been particularly close with his mother and sister. His parents divorced when Christian was 13 and he later chose to live with his father in America. He was one other sister, Louise that wasn't involved in the altercation.
His mother Jenny worked as a circus clown before become a reflexologist, his sister Sharon worked as a dancer, a sword- swallower's assistant and at an amusement park, so it's fair to say their earning capacity is well below that of Christian's. Sharon and Jenny both have modest homes in Southbourne, Dorset.
Authorities didn't want to disrupt the Dark Knight Premiere in London, so they let the report await follow up the next day.
Christian Bale spent nearly five hours at Belgravia police station in central London on Tuesday giving his side of the story and was released in time to make it to the Spanish Premiere of Dark Knight in Barcelona.
