Christian Bale Criticized for Upsetting Young Fans

Christian Bale, the acclaimed actor known for his role as Batman, has been accused of causing distress to young fangirls in a new book.

His former publicist, Harrison Cheung, shares unflattering details about Bale's behavior towards fans, particularly young girls, in what appears to be an unauthorized biography.

Reports from RadarOnline.com reveal that despite never receiving payment from Bale, Cheung worked as his publicist for an extended period.

Cheung sheds light on a darker side of the actor, referencing a notorious on-set outburst in 2009 that was captured on video and garnered widespread attention.

Allegedly, Bale exhibited a lack of patience and empathy when approached by fans in public settings.

The book describes instances where he reprimanded young girls for what he perceived as rudeness, causing them to cry, prompting their parents to intervene and remove them from the situation, as reported by the Huffington Post.

In “Christian Bale: The Inside Story of the Darkest Batman,” further peculiar incidents involving the actor are detailed.

One such occurrence involves Bale's extreme reaction to receiving a fan letter at his residence.

Cheung claims that Bale jokingly suggested eliminating the fan and provided disturbing instructions involving a screwdriver, though the authenticity of this claim remains questionable.

While the aforementioned incident may have been intended humorously, Cheung also alleges that Bale opted not to attend the funeral of his “Dark Knight” co-star, Heath Ledger.

Moreover, Cheung indicates that his experiences working with the actor not only left him profoundly disturbed but also necessitated intensive therapy to address the resulting emotional distress.

According to Cheung's account, the impact of his interactions with Bale led to a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder by his therapist.

The revelations in the book paint a complex picture of Bale, showcasing a side of the actor that contrasts sharply with his on-screen persona.
