Halle Berry’s ex-husband Olivier Martinez has denied storming out of a Los Angeles court hearing. His lawyer told TMZ that the judge had approved a three-minute break before proceedings resumed.
Patrick Baghdaserians said Olivier had asked to use the bathroom during Tuesday’s proceedings.
The hearing forms part of Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez’s ongoing legal dispute, which involves their teenage son.
Olivier obtained a temporary domestic violence restraining order against Halle earlier this month, alleging she physically abused their son. The allegation concerns an incident on September 26. Halle has denied all the allegations.

Olivier Martinez’s lawyer disputes courtroom account
Page Six had reported that Olivier appeared upset as he left the courtroom on Tuesday. It also reported that he used profanity during an animated discussion with his lawyer before heading towards the toilets.
In contrast, Patrick told TMZ that Olivier was happy with how the case was progressing. The court had heard from the former couple’s son and an administrator from his school, the lawyer said.
The hearing was closed to the public while the teenager gave evidence.
TMZ also reported that Halle and Olivier both testified on Wednesday. Halle’s daughter Nahla Aubry was also due to testify, alongside the actress’s partner Van Hunt, according to TMZ.
