Dear Editor:
I do not believe that Christian Bale assaulted his mother and sister. Sounds like hysteria to me. Tyler Carter
Also: Queen Sonja of Norway is in the papers for breaking-up a marriage when she was a barmaid in Cambridge England back in the late 50’s. Sonja was in England for two years trying to work on her English. She is so pretentious the Queen of England said, “she is far to grand for us”. This is a put-down as Sonja is really the daughter of a tobacco shop owner. She is mock royalty, chipped around the edges.
WHAT mother or sister would FALSELY accuse her son/brother of these abhorrent acts? Surely a mother or sister would only MAKE UP these claims if there was something to gain? Money? Fame? And how about the TIMING of these allegations? Is it in an attempt by them to de-fame him? To knock him off the pedestal propped up by fame and glory as The Dark Knight premieres? There’s a really good chance these claims are TRUE… why else would they go to the police… they are probably fed up, and felt it the BEST time to expose this beast. Can you imagine how hurt and angry they must have been with him to actually go to the police?
