The legal problems between Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry continue - this time over their daughter's hair.
Attorneys for Berry and Aubry appeared in court on Monday to settle a disagreement over their six-year-old daughter Nahla's hair. The 48-year-old actress accused Aubry of changing the texture of their daughter's hair to make her appear "white."
Aubry, a French-Canadian model, reportedly straightened and added highlights to his daughter's hair while she was in his care. After some back and forth conversations, a judge eventually decided that neither Berry nor Aubry are allowed to "change Nahla's look from its natural state," TMZ reported.
According to court papers obtained by the Daily Mail, Berry said her ex caused Nahla "potential psychological and physical damage," and could cause her to question "why her natural appearance is not good enough."
"Halle kept asking and asking Gabriel about Nahla's hair and he kept denying it," a source told the Daily Mail. "What does this say to a six year old who's half black? Her father is denying her identity. Halle then filed the court papers and Nahla's curls came back."
After the couple's five-year relationship ended in 2010, Berry and Aubry have been involved in a nasty custody battle over their daughter. The "X-Men" actress recently filed documents to decrease her child support payments to Aubry from $16,000 to $3,800 a month.
Berry claimed that the $16,000 allowance keeps Aubry from trying to find a job.
Last year, Berry was denied permission to move with her daughter to France, claiming that the paparazzi and a convicted stalker made her worry about her family's safety.
