Aubry, 18, claimed that she had never seen Berry abuse Maceo in any way and addressed the allegations made by Martinez point by point.
She went on to say, “I have never seen my mom place her hands around Maceo’s neck, put him in a chokehold, restrict his breathing, or engage in any conduct remotely resembling the allegations that have been made against her.”
Martinez accused Berry of all those alleged incidents of abuse that he claimed unfolded Sept. 26 in a heated exchange.
