Halle Berry Gears Up For Custody Battle With Gabriel Aubry, And Warned That He's Full Of Rage!

What seemed to be a peaceful separation between Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry is turning out to be anything but "peaceful."  Accusations are flying around on both sides with each trying to gain an upper hand in the custody battle.  Get the deets on this messy situation inside....

 

 

 

Halle's friends are speaking out about Gabriel and warning that he could be a danger to Halle or Nahla.  Gabe's former friend and business partner Stephane Bibeau told PEOPLE,  "Once they broke up he became verbally threatening to Halle.  He is a vindictive guy." Stephane says he even used a racial slur against her (Halle).

 

But friends of Gabe tell PEOPLE that he is a very dedicated father and only wants to be recognized as the father of Nahla and share custody of her.  A source close to him said:

 

“From the beginning, Halle kind of had the upper hand because she was essentially supporting all of them for the most part. Gabriel never liked how that felt. Their split was tough because they're both so involved in raising Nahla, and neither ever wanted to give that up."

 

So maybe this is a battle of two strong-willed parents each wanting to be the biggest influence in their child's life.  If that is so, it's not looking good for Gabe as old lovers are coming out of the woods and saying Gabe would be a bad influence on Nahla.

 

Page Bogart, a former girlfriend of Gabriel, recently told TMZ that Gabriel is a lying cheat, prone to fits of rage.  She then gave them a voicemail of him in a fit of rage, where he accused her of leaking gossip about him.  Page claims she warned Halle saying, "Gabriel's entire motivation has always been money.  I tried to warn Halle early on but she didn’t want to believe it."   

Well…Halle clearly has her suspicions up now as her rep told PEOPLE that Halle has "serious concerns for her daughter's well-being while in the care of her father." 

I have a feeling this is going to explode into a big Hollywood drama.
