From a source at the hotel involved who works security.

“His mom and sis­ter are alco­holics and drug addicts, they showed up at his hotel unin­vited and highly intox­i­cated. Not only that but they wanted the front desk worker to let them into his room to wait for him. When they were told no they started cussing and yelling. Defeated, went to a sec­ond option of sit­ting in front of his door for a hour until he finally arrived. They were call­ing him big shot and say­ing that he needs to take care of his own. His mom was yelling that he would be noth­ing with­out her and that he owed her. His sis­ter was beg­ging for money and when he was push­ing her toward the door his mother came from behind, started hit­ting him on his head, and kick­ing him. He man­aged to push them both out the door and his mom fell, they called the police and wanted him arrested. I believe that Chris­t­ian is the vic­tim here not his mom or sister.”

i heard the room was pumped with scare­crow juice, and when his mom and sis­ter turned around and BAM– Hes in noth­ing but his under­wear, socks, cape and cowl. The rest is obvi­ous. Im jok­ing. Relax. They said recently that it was more of a ver­bal dis­pute, his wife was insulted by his mom, and the ask­ing for money part was more or less right. Ver­bal assaults are an actual crime in Lon­don, which is log­i­cal con­sid­er­ing he didnt go to the sta­tion till mon­day, after a 3 day open­ing of the pre­mière. Per­son­ally, I dont care either way, it sucks that it came out in the open like this, but when youre famous in a cal­iber like him, its expected to hap­pen. Remem­ber kids, dont mess with the god­damned Bat­man, or you be get­tin’ a tounge lashin’ !!
