DDG Accuses Ex Halle Bailey of Being "Psychological Risk" to Son Halo

Content warning: This article contains allegations of self-harm and threats of suicide.
Halle Bailey is facing serious allegations from her ex DDG amid the custody battle over their son Halo.
In an emergency motion filed by DDG on June 4, the rapper asked the court to deny Halle's recent request to take their 17-month-old to Italy for work, accusing that the Little Mermaid star of being "an imminent emotional and psychological risk" to herself and their child.
DDG (real name Daryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.) alleged in court documents obtained by E! News that Halle "routinely used emotional coercion and manipulation to exert her control over me, often threatening me by using self-harm or ending her life" throughout their "on again/off again" relationship of almost three years.
In one alleged instance during Halle's pregnancy in 2023, DDG said she "threatened me by demanding that we reconcile, or she would go through with the abortion."
DDG said the actress allegedly "threatened to end her life using my legally owned firearm" in another incident that same year, accusing Halle of grabbing the weapon and leaving their home without telling anyone her whereabouts.

DDG alleged that Halle also stalked him during their relationship, as well as physically and verbally abused him.
"Given these threats to self-harm," DDG wrote in his filing, "I believe the Petitioner is a threat to our son's safety such that she should not be allowed to take Halo out of the country to Italy for a period of two months."
He is requesting that the court grant him sole legal and physical custody of Halo, or impose an alternative visitation plan where he and Halle trade off two-day and five-day blocks.
DDG's filing comes weeks after Halle filed to obtain sole legal and physical custody of Halo, alleging that DDG attacked her during a co-parenting handoff in January. She was granted a temporary restraining order against DDG, who has denied the abuse allegations.
E! News has reached out to Halle's attorney about DDG's allegations but hasn't heard back. In a court response to DDG's filing obtained by TMZ, Halle accused DDG of being uncooperative in negotiations, alleging that he waited until her temporary restraining order was expired to file for custody of Halo.

Prince Joachim Makes Rare Comment After Kids Stripped of Royal Titles
Originally appeared on E! Online Prince Joachim of Denmark is thinking about the future. Two years after moving to the United States in the wake of his mom Margrethe II stripping his kids Nikolai, 25, and Felix, 22, Henrik, 16, and Athena, 13, of their royal titles, the 55-year-old opened up about potential plans to return to the motherland. "We have a desire to come home," Joachim told TV2 in an interview translated from Danish. "But we also do not rule out the possibility of staying abroad." Noting how he's in the middle of a three-year job with the Danish Embassy under the Ministry of Defense, Joachim—who shares his adult sons with ex-wife Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg and his younger children with wife Princess Marie—continued, "For now, it is on our radar, when the post here stops, we will return home." Joachim relocated to the U.S. with Marie and their two kids in the summer of 2023, months after then-queen Margrethe ruled all of his children will no longer be addressed as prince or princess as "necessary future-proofing of the monarchy."

Margrethe added in a personal statement at the time, "It is my duty and my desire as Queen to ensure that the monarchy always shapes itself in keeping with the times. Sometimes, this means that difficult decisions must be made, and it will always be difficult to find the right moment." The 85-year-old went on to abdicate her post as monarch in 2024, breaking a 900-year tradition. Her eldest son—Joachim's older brother King Frederik X—succeeded the throne. As for how Joachim's kids are adapting to life without their royal titles? "We are each busy in our own way," he told TV2. "The kids are at school, where they enjoy being challenged and have an ever-growing social circle, and I have my job." "We are our little nuclear family and enjoy it, and we make sure as much as possible that we also have time for each other," Joachim continued. "That it doesn't always get in the way of work, school and homework." For more royal news of 2025, keep reading.

Sydney Sweeney Teases Euphoria 's Cassie Is "Even Worse" in Season 3
Originally appeared on E! Online Cassie Howard still isn't feeling very euphoric. Sydney Sweeney shared some insight into her character's personal journey on the upcoming third season of Euphoria. And when it comes to where Cassie's mindset stands, the actress didn't mince her words. "Cassie is crazy," Sydney told Jimmy Fallon on the June 5 episode of The Tonight Show, before teasing that in the HBO series' new installment "she's even worse." As for whether Cassie's character arc will include a walk down the aisle, as seen in recently leaked set images? Sydney wasn't willing to explain the meaning behind the pics, which show her wearing a wedding dress while walking down an aisle featuring the intertwined initials, "C" and "N." (Fans have speculated that the initials stand for Cassie and Nate, her character's love interest in season two, played by Jacob Elordi.) "I can't confirm or deny," The White Lotus alum said before joking that the photos, "could be A.I." More from E!

Here's a silly puppet boxing game you never knew you needed
I have not played a single boxing game outside of Wii Sports this century, but that could be about to change. Summer Game Fest Live brought us the reveal of Felt That: Boxing, which stars puppet pugilists. This project from the appropriately named Sans Strings Studio and Seth Green's animation company, Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, is billed as "a comedic, over-the-top boxing game set in a world where the charm of furry puppets collides with the fury of boxing." The clip is structured like a trailer for an underdog sports movie and it is just delightful. The snippets of gameplay suggest there will be training minigames that include dodging slices of burnt toast that a trainer hurls at your puppet (who is named Fuzz-E) and, uh, plunging a toilet. According to the description on the YouTube video, the developers are aiming to make the "boxing mechanics are intentionally ridiculous, favoring fun over precision, with [puppet] limbs flailing about with an insane sense of chaos." Lovely. This trailer was immediately the most interesting thing during SGF Live up to that point. Felt That: Boxing does not yet have a release window, but you can wishlist it on Steam now, like I just did.
