Halle Berry wants custody of her daughter Nahla

Halle Berry began dating my doppelganger, male model Gabriel Aubry, in 2005 and the two even had a kid together in 2008. When they split up last year, it was about as friendly as possible, with both making it clear that there would be no custody fight over their daughter Nahla. Um, yeah, about that . . .

Halle Berry says she's preparing to go to court with her ex Gabriel Aubry over custody of their 2 ½-year-old daughter Nahla. To clear her schedule for custody litigation, Berry, 44, pulled out of the film New Year's Eve, set to start filming this week in New York. She's being replaced by Katherine Heigl.

"Halle has serious concerns for her daughter's well-being while in the care of her father for any extended period of time and is prepared to take all necessary steps to protect her," the actress's rep tells PEOPLE.

"She has attempted to resolve these custody issues amicably with her daughter's father, Gabriel Aubry, directly, but given his lack of cooperation, Halle has no choice but to seek swift judicial intervention."

OK, now this sweatshirt that Halle wore a few weeks ago makes a little sense. She was clearly trying to intimidate Gabriel. No wonder he hasn't been seen in public since. You do not fuck with a woman harnessing the mythical spirit and energy of a white tiger. Many have tried . . . MANY HAVE DIED!
