Christian was accused of assaulting Jenny and Sharon at his Dorchester hotel. Jenny and Sharon went to a police station in Hampshire to make their complaint of assault.

Per daily mail, Sharon told her friend: ‘I asked them to talk to Christian before he left as we felt his verbal and physical actions – especially in front of three children under the age of 12 – and no show of remorse afterwards needed to be pointed out to him as wrong.’

Sharon had also said she “went to the police because I felt he should be cautioned. I thought one day his temper could get him into trouble. I regret it now because the media got involved and came out with some very hurtful things, about mum and me instigating the argument.”

It has been alleged that they were arguing either about Christian’s wife, Sibi Blazic, or money. Christian was released on bail and the charges were dropped. Sharon and her mother withdrew their statements two days after the incident. Christian had denied the allegations and called the incident “a deeply personal matter”.

The Crown Prosecution Service declared they would take no further action against him because of “insufficient evidence to afford a realistic prospect of conviction”. On August 14, 2008, a Crown Prosecution Service spokesperson said:

‘We can today confirm that we have advised the Metropolitan Police Service that the actor Christian Bale should not face any charges following an incident which occurred in relation to his mother and sister at the Dorchester hotel on 21 July this year.’
