"Gabriel Aubry isn&amp;apos;t going down without a fight.\r\nOne day after Halle Berry announced she was pulling out of a movie (New Year&amp;apos;s Eve) to focus on &amp;quot;custody issues&amp;quot; related to her two-year-old daughter Nahla, Aubry&amp;apos;s rep at Wilhelmina Models released a statement on his behalf.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;While Gabriel is disappointed in Halle&amp;apos;s decision to falsely malign him publicly and for her own purposes, he refuses to be pulled into her dispute over a canceled film production,&amp;quot; his rep told Access Hollywood. &amp;quot;Gabriel also refuses to air their issues in the press as he believes this may ultimately harm their daughter. The fact is that Gabriel is a caring father who shares custody of Nahla.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Gabriel fully believes that a consistent and balanced living situation and two loving parents are crucial for their child even if Ms. Berry feels otherwise,&amp;quot; his rep continued. &amp;quot;He will always defend his rights as a father and will always consider Nahla&amp;apos;s best interest. Halle&amp;apos;s continuing allegations in the press are untrue and irresponsible.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe 44-year-old Oscar winner&amp;apos;s rep previously told UsMagazine.com that Berry had &amp;quot;attempted to resolve these custody issues amicably with her daughter&amp;apos;s father...but given his lack of cooperation, Halle has no choice but to seek swift judicial intervention.&amp;quot;\r\nUp until recently, the ex-lovers appeared to be amicably co-parenting in the wake of their April split. But on December 30, Aubry asked the courts to be formally recognized as Nahla&amp;apos;s father and to establish shared custody.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Halle has always made the needs and safety of her daughter her first priority,&amp;quot; her rep told Us Monday. &amp;quot;Halle has only acted in her daughter&amp;apos;s best interest.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
