'The Dark Knight' actor - who is accused of “pushing and shoving” his mother Jenny and sister Sharon at his Dorchester Hotel suite in London on Sunday
(20.07.08) - wants to focus on promoting new movie ‘The Dark Knight’, rather than discuss his personal life.
He said: "It's a deeply personal matter. I would ask that people respect my privacy in the matter."
Christian was questioned for four hours by London police on Tuesday (22.07.08), before being released on bail without charge.
The 34-year-old actor insists the allegations are false.
It has been claimed he flew into a rage after Jenny, 61, and 41-year-old Sharon asked him for £100,000 to help raise Sharon’s three daughters.
A legal source close to the case told Britain’s The Sun newspaper:
“Christian is a very wealthy young man and was asked to help his sister out financially.
“He was asked to loan her £100,000 but he refused and that caused an almighty row.
“During that row, the women claim he assaulted them by pushing and shoving them. Both Jenny and Sharon are terribly upset over what happened.
“They did not want any publicity. But they say he bullied them. They are both devastated that it has come to this but want him to be taught a lesson.”
Jenny is also believed to have aggravated the star after making insulting comments about wife Sandra 'Sibi' Blazic.
