Christian Bale's Sister Reportedly Sought $200K Loan
In his first public comments since being questioned by London police on Tuesday for allegedly assaulting his mother and sister, Christian Bale today asked the press to respect his “privacy,” which – given the current Dark Knight media saturation – is respected about as much as Princess Di’s privacy in the summer of ’97. The latest tabloid take on the altercation has it that Bale’s sister Sharon, a computer programmer with three kids, was pressuring Bale for a $200,000 loan in his hotel suite the night before the London premiere.
Apparently, tickets to The Dark Knight just weren’t enough for his sister, and when Bale refused to cough up the money, his mother butted into the ensuing argument. Bale became livid when she insulted his wife, and may or may not have "pushed and shoved" them, depending on whether you believe the ex-circus clown mother and her parasitical daughter, or the big Hollywood celebrity. Bale admittedly has a hot temper; the London Sun dug up a quote from a previous interview, in which the actor concedes, “Everyone loses their sh** on occasions, don’t they? Like, ‘Oh God, what demon possessed me to do that?’” Hmm... the demon that hates it when your mom trash-talks your wife, maybe?

Ah yes. The relatives smell money and come running with their hands out looking for their piece of the pie. Hilarity ensues.

Is it really fair to call her parasitic based on a rumor from a UK tabloid?

I want to be unbiased, not knowing the full story, but just because my sibling has made millions, what right do I have to push them for 200k? That's an awful lot! Couldn't she just ask for cab money to the premiere?

Just because Bale is rich (super rich after this past weekend) and famous does not mean that he is frivolous or unaware of his finances.
Just because you have money does mean that you're bank lending money to all sorts of people that come in into your life.
Love Bale, so keep them coming.

Where was Heath Ledger when all of this was happening? He should have helped out his friend.

I'm glad he stood up for his woman! His mother should know better than to talk smack about his wife! And shame on his sister! $200k is a lot of money!
