Christian Bale is speaking out for the first time since his mother and sister accused the actor of assaulting them Sunday night.
The Batman star asked for privacy at a press conference in Spain regarding the allegations, saying the incident was personal.
The 34-year-old actor explained, “It’s a deeply personal matter. I would ask you to respect my privacy in the matter.”
Bale spent four hours talking to British police Tuesday following charges he assaulted his mother and one of his three sisters.
Bale has said through his lawyers that the assault allegations are unfounded.
The drama unfolded even as the latest Batman installment, The Dark Knight, broke box office records and was met with critical acclaim. The movie pulled in $158.4 million during its opening weekend in the U.S. last week, and is expected to do well in Europe.
