custody battle

Which one is uglier: Halle Berry’s custody battle or the public’s reaction to it?  The more comments I read on the web about Berry’s fight for custody of daughter, Nahla, the more I’m convinced of the latter.

Make no mistake. I’m not saying that the battle between Berry and her ex Gabriel Aubry over Nahla isn’t a nasty one. After all, Berry’s camp insinuated that Aubry was an unfit father. The French Canadian model has also been accused of hurling the N-word at Berry. These racial allegations have resulted in all sorts of mudslinging—with commenters on mainstream (or non-black owned websites) calling Berry vicious names, and commenters on black sites using the allegation that Aubry hurled slurs at Berry to justify why interracial relationships should be avoided.
