Christian Bale dispute over money

The argument between Batman star Christian Bale and his mother and sister that led to his police questioning this week has been blamed on money.

The Dark Knight star Christian Bale is said to have argued with his mother and sister about money this week which led to allegations of assault and his police questioning The Sun claim. "Christian is a very wealthy man and was asked to help his sister out financially," a source told the paper. "He was asked to loan her £100,000 but he refused and it caused an almighty row. During that row, the women claim, he assaulted them by pushing and shoving them. Both Jenny and Sharon are terribly upset over what happened. They did not want any publicity and the last thing they wanted to do was wreck his premiere evening. But they say he bullied them. They are both devastated that it has come to this but want him to be taught a lesson." However the Daily Mail's sources tell a different story, "things got out of control and he now says he wishes he just left the room," their insider says. "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."
