More details emerged regarding Christian Bale’s weekend arrest. London police picked up the actor after the UK premiere of “The Dark Knight” on allegations that he assaulted his mother and sister.

Sources claimed the charges came after Christian “flew off the handle” after his mother, Jenny Bale, said “outrageous things”about Christian’s wife, Sibi.  

The source said: ‘Christian was stressed, but he didn’t lay a finger on anyone. Instead, he flew off the handle and cussed his mother. He just got very loud because his mother was saying some very outrageous things about him,  and his wife.’

‘Christian’s attitude is that this was his mother’s fault because she became very provocative in an argument they were having,’ the source said, adding: ‘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 fans and paparazzi outside.’

‘He regrets the way she treated him in their argument a lot more than having to talk to police about it. Christian has admitted that something just snapped, but he didn’t threaten anyone with violence.

‘He’s under a lot of pressure right now and simply got incredibly loud with members of his family around. I think his wife is going to be very important to him after all this is over because she does, at the end of the day, know how to calm him down.’

Christian’s mother and sister refused to comment on the charges, saying it was a “sensitive situation.”
