Halle Berry Fleeing U.S. Due to Death Threats?

Halle Berry does not want to move to France with young daughter Nahla and fiance Olivier Martinez to spite Gabriel Aubry - she fears for her life, according to reports.

TMZ reports that Halle is motivated by security in asking a judge for permission to move to France with Nahla - something Gabriel Aubry is trying to block.

There have apparently been serious threats to Halle's life - from one man in particular - and she feels the move out of the country is a life or death situation.

Robert Hoskins, a mentally unstable man, escaped from a mental institution last week and has made threats against Halle, specifically to "slit her throat."

Hoskins threatened to slit Madonna's throat in the past and was actually shot by her bodyguard in 1995 after he trespassed onto the pop star's property.

As if that weren't enough, another stalker who recently trespassed onto Halle's property multiple times in the past has just been released from jail.

Halle is particularly concerned because Starmaps and some Hollywood bus tours literally take tourists to her doorstep, and it freaks her out.

The actress is also concerned that Gabriel Aubry, Nahla's father, is parading in front of paparazzi almost daily and possibly putting her at risk.

A judge has yet to rule on her request to skip town.
