DDG makes serious allegations about Halle Bailey; restraining order against her denied for now
DDG has failed for now in his attempt to get a domestic violence restraining order preventing Halle Bailey from taking their son, Halo, out of the country — but not for lack of trying. The rapper, real name Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., made serious allegations about Bailey in a new court filing this week after she served him with a domestic violence restraining order in mid-May. DDG must keep his distance from his 'The Little Mermaid' ex and their son, who turns 2 in October. He was also ordered to refrain from contacting them in any way, including electronically. On Wednesday, when a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge was expected to consider whether to make the temporary order more permanent, the 27-year-old influencer's attorney requested that Bailey be prevented from traveling internationally with Halo, specifically to Italy, alleging there was a risk she would kidnap the child. The filing also asked that the hearing be continued to a later date. DDG's team got the later date. His attorney did not reply to The Times' request for comment. The domestic violence restraining order request, which was denied pending a hearing later this month, was supported by DDG's version of some of the same incidents his 25-year-old ex cited in her May filing, according to court documents reviewed by The Times. It includes declarations from Tonya Granberry, DDG's mother, and George Charlston, her fiancée, who is also DDG's driver, alleging they found Apple AirTags that had been hidden in the rapper's vehicles and in Halo's diaper bag, presumably by Bailey. DDG's team complained in his filing about Bailey's alleged 'emotional instability and coercive control,' her 'repeated threats of suicide and self-harm' and instances where she 'endangered the child's safety while in emotional distress.' The filing includes text exchanges in which Bailey sent myriad frantic-sounding messages, many more than DDG replied with. In one exchange, which occurred after he drove off following an argument in 2022, Bailey sent texts 'claiming she had a knife and implying she would harm herself if he did not return,' the filing says. 'YOI HATE ME AND WANT ME TO DIE!!!' she said amid a flurry of text messages in March 2024, according to the filing, following up with texts saying 'I WANT TO DIE BECAUSE OF YOU!!!' and 'I WILL DIE BECAUSE OF YOU!!!' In February, Bailey told DDG via text that 'everyday i want to die because of the way you embarrass me online and allow other women to speak on me,' the filing says. The two dated for two years before breaking up in October 2023; their son was born a couple of months later. Bailey allegedly 'weaponized' her pregnancy to try to persuade DDG to reconcile with her, the filing says. The court filing alleges she tried to medically abort Halo in June 2023 but didn't take the second dose of medication that would complete the task. The rapper said the singer-actor went through his phone while he was asleep, slapped and punched him during a fight over the phone, falsely claimed that he slammed her head into his car's steering wheel during a custody exchange and surveilled him by planting Apple AirTags in his vehicles. He accused her in the filing of tracking the AirTags to show up uninvited to events and studio sessions where he was, 'often resulting in confrontations.' 'During emotional outbursts,' the filing says, Bailey 'has destroyed my personal property including my laptop that contained critical music and content word' and 'stole my legally owned firearm during an argument in August of 2023 and was found outside the house in possession of it.' In March 2024, Bailey allegedly sent DDG 'a series of alarming text messages threatening to kill herself and suggesting that their infant son, Halo, might also be harmed,' the document says. 'She then proceeded to drive her vehicle — with the child in the car — while in an emotionally unhinged state. [DDG] was so disturbed by her condition that he immediately contacted [her] godmother to intervene and assist.' The filing, which includes photos of a gash in DDG's thumb that he said Bailey caused, notes that similar exchanges happened last September and October, demonstrating that Bailey's alleged 'instability is not a thing of the past, but a present and ongoing danger.' Bailey's attorney did not respond immediately to The Times' request for comment. DDG found out about Bailey's restraining order against him via a phone alert in the middle of a livestream in May — no advance notice of the request was given because Bailey, according to court documents, was afraid he would retaliate with violence or by taking Halo out of the area. In her declaration, Bailey accused DDG of 'badmouthing' her to his millions of fans on Twitch and YouTube whenever he 'wants to cause upset.' 'He claims I am withholding our son and that I am with other men. As a result, I then receive threats and hate on social media. He seems to try to set up drama for his fans. He goes 'live' ranting about me and alleges that I am keeping Halo from him. This is false. I have requested a set schedule, which he refuses.' She also said he frequently calls her 'b—' and says she is 'evil.' She detailed one physical altercation from January of this year that ended with her bruised with a chipped tooth. Bailey was giving DDG their son and strapping him into the rapper-streamer's car when, according to her filing, she asked when the child would be returned. A verbal dispute quickly turned physical, the court document said, and he pulled her hair and slammed her face into the steering wheel. But DDG says that is false — according to his filing, she hit the steering wheel while launching herself forward from the back seat while trying to hit him. He says he attempted to 'shield himself' by holding her arms down so she couldn't keep hitting him. 'I wanted to get out of the car with Halo but was now stuck,' Bailey said in her filing. 'Darryl then said that since I would not leave the baby in the car, he would take me with them. He drove quickly towards his house. When we arrived at his house, I was crying and told his family what happened. I begged his family who were there to help me figure out a schedule with him. They said just leave Halo and go. I left hysterical.' A hearing in the case is now scheduled for July 24. On Thursday evening, DDG lamented his public status on X (formerly Twitter) and got a heaping helping of backlash in return. 'now I know how michael jackson felt being famous,' he wrote. 's— crazy.' For the most part, X users did not agree. Here's a sampling of the reactions: 'let's aim lower, ur more latoya jackson in terms of fame.' 'You are a Z lister. Stop comparing yourself to an actual talented man who had streets closed down for him and was globally recognized.' 'Everyones crazy is their own crazy. But Michael Jackson lived a life few can even imagine. Its not really the same.' 'mj performed for presidents, royalty, and broke world records. and you? you went viral on TIKTOK. oh come on man, be SERIOUS.' 'You're not famous bro ... You're just known.'

DDG seeks sole custody of son with Halle Bailey, granted temporary protection
Halle Bailey's ex DDG has been granted a temporary restraining order against her, weeks after the actress was granted her own temporary restraining order against DDG over allegations of physical and verbal abuse. DDG, 27, whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., filed for a restraining order against the "Little Mermaid" actress, 25, on Wednesday. The filing comes three weeks after Bailey requested sole legal and physical custody of the pair's son Halo. In her petition last month, Bailey said she was "seeking permission to take Halo" with her to film in Italy. DDG, a rapper, YouTuber and Twitch streamer, filed a motion this week requesting an emergency hearing, asking for sole legal and physical custody of their son and for the court to restrict Bailey from traveling internationally with Halo. The court denied that request until a hearing could be held on the matter. MORE: Enter headline of content here DDG also claimed in the declaration he filed that he endured instances of physical abuse and coercion. He claimed Bailey "poses an immediate threat to my safety and emotional well-being and more importantly, to the stability and safety of our son" in the filing. DDG specifically claimed Bailey allegedly "routinely used emotional coercion, including but not limited to threats of self-harm" when he attempted to leave their relationship, allegedly "weaponized our pregnancy" with threats that she would "abort our baby should I not reconcile or accede to her demands," and allegedly invaded his privacy, according to the declaration. He included third-party statements from his mother, Tonya Granberry, and her fiancé, George Charlston to try and support his claims. Tonya Granberry claimed in a declaration filed with DDG's TRO request that she and Charlston allegedly discovered several AirTags, which she claimed were "left behind" by Bailey, and alleging it was a "clear and deliberate pattern of unauthorized surveillance and stalking" of her son. On Wednesday, the court granted a temporary order of protection for DDG against Bailey, ordering her not to, in part, harass, assault, stalk, impersonating, or surveil DDG. The court denied his request for "no-contact" and "stay-away" orders until a hearing. DDG's lawyer, Larry M. Bakman, told "Good Morning America" that the custody-related issues regarding DDG and Bailey's son are pending and that DDG "remains committed to resolving them through the appropriate legal channels, not the court of public opinion." Bakman stated that a hearing on both requests for domestic violence restraining orders is set for June 24. Attorneys and representatives for Bailey did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the temporary restraining order against her. Halle Bailey says her grandparents helped her overcome 'The Little Mermaid' casting backlash In her petition last month, Bailey accused DDG of starting "drama" and "badmouthing" her to his fans. She also alleged that DDG had been physically and verbally abusive with her since their split in 2024, which she claimed was due to DDG's "temper and lack of respect towards me." She also claimed in a declaration included with her TRO request that "incidents of physical abuse" allegedly occurred before their son was born. According to the declaration, the actress claimed that when Halo is in DDG's care, their son is usually left with DDG's mother. "I cannot keep living like this," Bailey stated at the time. "I never know when he is going to demand our son be in his Mother's care and whether I will be subjected to his threats and abuse." Bailey also stated that she wants Halo to be close with DDG's family but said DDG "should be present instead of simply leaving Halo with his family for days."
