The Dark Knight actor – who is accused of “pushing and shoving” his mother Jenny and sister Sharon at his Dorchester Hotel suite in London on Sunday (20.07.08) – wants to focus on promoting new movie The Dark Knight, rather than discuss his personal life.

He said: “It’s a deeply personal matter. I would ask that people respect my privacy in the matter.”

Christian was questioned for four hours by London police on Tuesday (22.07.08), before being released on bail without charge.

The 34-year-old actor insists the allegations are false. It has been claimed he flew into a rage after Jenny, 61, and 41-year-old Sharon asked him for £100,000 to help raise Sharon’s three daughters.

Jenny is also believed to have aggravated the star after making insulting comments about wife Sandra ‘Sibi’ Blazic.

Christian must return to Britain in September to answer bail.
