That the actor simply “flew off the handle” after Jenny Bale said “some outrageous things”. The source maintains that although Bale had a heated discussion with his mother, no violence was involved. The source said:

 “Christian was stressed, but he didn’t lay a finger on anyone. Instead, he flew off the handle and cussed his mother. He just got very loud because his mother was saying some very outrageous things about him and his wife.

“Christian's attitude is that this was his mother's fault because she became very provocative in an argument they were having,’ the source said, adding: ‘Things got out of control and he now says he wishes he just left the room.

“Normally Christian would just call a friend and go out to a pub to cool off. But he was literally trapped into this confrontation with his mother and sister because there was an army of fans and paparazzi outside. Christian has admitted that something just snapped, but he didn't threaten anyone with violence.”

The incident comes at a time when Christian’s marriage to Sandra 'Sibi' Blazic is said to be enduring difficulties. His relationship with his mother is also known to be somewhat tumultuous.

Jenny Bale has since insisted she was not the one who called the police.
