According to TMZ, Berry’s fiance, Olivier Martinez, approached Aubry in the driveway and said “We need to move on.”  The comment sparked the slugfest that turned their holiday into a headline.  Aubry allegedly shoved Martinez and tried to punch him in the face but missed, striking him in the shoulder. Martinez, 46, returned the favor and clocked Aubry in the face.  He eventually managed to pin Aubry, 37, on the ground, according to TMZ. Berry, 46, ushered Nahla away when the donnybrook began, shielding the girl from the throwdown. The two men trash-talked each other in French, the gossip site reported.  Police took Aubry to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was treated for a broken rib and contusions on his face, according to the site. Roughly an hour later, Martinez checked himself into the same hospital.  The pair were down the hall from each other in the hospital, TMZ reported.  The extent of the injuries to Martinez’s hand and neck were unclear. But the stressed look on Berry’s face as she and her fiance drove away from the hospital with Nahla in the backseat spoke volumes about the intense incident.  After Aubry was treated cops charged him with misdemeanor battery and he was released on $20,000 bail.  A judge issued an emergency protective order that requires Aubry to stay at least 100 yards away from Berry, Martinez and his daughter, TMZ reported, citing law enforcement sources.  Early Friday morning, Martinez was spotted in a liquor store. Dressed casually and standing near a few bottles of vodka, he appeared to be nursing a swollen hand.  The holiday brouhaha is a new low in the ongoing custody battle over Nahla.  In January, Berry sought to strip Aubry of custody following an incident in which the little girl’s nanny fell while holding her. Berry claimed that Aubry shoved the nanny causing her to take the spill.  “(The nanny) picked up Nahla to leave and Gabriel yelled at her and shoved her out the door so hard that she hit the wall — while she had Nahla in her arms!” a source told RadarOnline at the time.  Recently Berry sought to move to France with her fiance and daughter, but a family court judge denied the plan, citing the need for Nahla to be close to her dad.  Berry and Aubry met in 2005 at a Versace photo shoot. Berry gave birth to Nahla in 2008, and two years later the couple split.  They’ve had a rocky relationship ever since — despite Berry’s efforts to keep the split amicable.  Representatives for both Berry and Aubry did not return requests for comment.
