Halle Bailey's chipped tooth, bite marks narrate harrowing ordeal; accuses DDG of abuse: ‘Pulled hair, slammed face'
The Little Mermaid actress Halle Bailey was granted a temporary order of protection after she complained that her ex-boyfriend Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr, who is popularly known as DDG, physically abused her.
In her complaint, the 25-year-old actress said, 'Daryl has been and continues to be physically, verbally, emotionally, and financially abusive towards me. I am seeking orders to protect myself and our son Halo from his ongoing abuse,' AP reported citing California Judicial Council documents.
According to Halle Bailey, there have been 'multiple acts of physical violence," throughout their relationship. The couple were in a relationship since 2022 until their breakup in October 2024. Describing several violent incidents, alleging that DDG physically attacked her and threatened her safety, Halle Bailey said that the first incident of abuse took place in January after their breakup.
As per Chloe x Halle singer's narrative recorded in Judicial Council documents, DDG became violent when she tried to discuss a visitation schedule of their 1-year-old son, Halo. The incident happened four months ago when DDG visited Halle Bailey's residence to pick up their son and got involved in an altercation.
Detailing the happenings of the day, Bailey said, 'We fought each other, wrestling and tussling. At one point, Darryl was pulling my hair. He then slammed my face on the steering wheel, causing my tooth to get chipped. I then stopped fighting back as I was in a lot of pain,' in the filings. As a testimony to her claims, Bailey attached photos of her chipped tooth and bruises caused by teeth marks on her arms.
The court documents mention another incident from March this year and accused DDG of entering her home without permission. She further revealed that her ex-boyfriend sent a photo of her bed in a text message with a threatening statement.
In another violent encounter, she allegedly that the rapper and YouTuber DDG became verbally abusive and destroyed her Ring camera. She claimed that he also took her phone when she resisted from sending their sick baby on a visit with him.

Weinstein jury still has 1 charge to go after partial verdict in sex crimes retrial
NEW YORK (AP) — After a partial verdict in a chaotic day at Harvey Weinstein 's sex crimes retrial, jurors are due Thursday to return to deliberations on a remaining charge — if the foreperson will join in. The jury delivered its partial verdict Wednesday, convicting the ex-studio boss of one of the top charges but acquitting him of another. Both charges concern accusations of forcing oral sex on women in 2006. The jury of seven women and five men unanimously reached those decisions last Friday, the foreperson later told the judge. The verdict was delivered Wednesday only because Judge Curtis Farber asked whether there was agreement on any of the charges. The group was stuck on the third charge: a rape accusation involving a woman who also said she had a consensual relationship with the Oscar-winning producer. Under New York law, the third-degree rape charge carries a lesser penalty than the other two counts. Weinstein denies all the charges. In an unusual exchange with the judge during some legal arguments before the partial verdict was disclosed Wednesday, he insisted it was unfair to continue the trial after two jurors came forward with concerns about the proceedings. 'I can't be judged by a situation that's going on like this,' said Weinstein, 73, saying the judge was 'endangering' him. Jury-room strains started leaking into public view Friday, when a juror asked to be excused because he felt another was being treated unfairly. Then Monday, the foreperson complained that other jurors were pushing people to change their minds and talking about information beyond the charges. The man raised concerns again Wednesday. In a closed-door discussion with prosecutors, defense lawyers and the judge, the foreperson said another juror was yelling at him for sticking to his opinion and at one point vowed, 'You going to see me outside.' 'I feel afraid inside there,' the foreperson told the judge and attorneys, according to a transcript. The judge sent the jury home for the day after the partial verdict, but the foreperson later asked to come back and recapped his concerns to Farber in court. The foreperson said he was willing to return Thursday, with Farber saying the man wouldn't be forced to go into the jury room if he didn't want to. It's unclear how deliberations could proceed if that happens, and it's equally uncertain what the court would then do. Weinstein's initial conviction five years ago seemed to cement the downfall of one of Hollywood's most powerful men in a pivotal moment for the #MeToo movement against sexual misconduct. But that conviction was overturned last year, and the case was sent back for retrial in the same Manhattan courthouse. Weinstein's accusers said he exploited his Tinseltown influence to dangle career help, get them alone and then trap and force them into sexual encounters. His defense portrayed his accusers as Hollywood wannabes and hangers-on who willingly hooked up with him to court opportunity, then later said they were victimized to collect settlement funds and #MeToo approbation. Miriam Haley, the producer and production assistant whom Weinstein was convicted — twice, now — of sexually assaulting, said outside court Wednesday that the new verdict 'gives me hope.' Accuser Kaja Sokola also called it 'a big win for everyone,' even though Weinstein was acquitted of forcibly performing oral sex on her when she was a 19-year-old fashion model. Her allegation was added to the case after the retrial was ordered. The third accuser, Jessica Mann, was still waiting for an outcome. The hairstylist and actor testified for days — as she did in 2020 — about the rape she said she endured in a Manhattan hotel room and about why she continued to see and have consensual encounters with Weinstein afterward. 'Rape can happen in relationships — and in dynamics where power and manipulation control the narrative," Mann said in a statement Wednesday. Weinstein also was convicted of raping another woman in California. He's appealing that conviction.

How the F1 soundtrack came together, with a little help from Lewis Hamilton
New York, Jun 12 (AP) The pinnacle of motorsport, Formula One, has its own music. The swift rhythms of a six-cylinder engine reaching 15,000 rpm; the ear-to-ear glissando of a spirited overtake in a DRS zone; the A-list concerts that follow most race weekends. So, when it came to making the summer tentpole 'F1', starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, the team behind the film knew its sound had to be massive, too. That comes courtesy a score by the many-time Oscar winner Hans Zimmer and a huge soundtrack releasing as 'F1 The Album' via Atlantic Records — the team behind the award-winning 'Barbie' album — the same day as the movie, June 27. The soundtrack features original music from Chris Stapleton, Myke Towers, Blackpink's Rose, Tate McRae and many more. The creative forces behind it all — film producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Joseph Kosinski and Atlantic Records West Coast President Kevin Weaver — tell The Associated Press how 'F1 The Album' came together. In the years that it took to create 'F1', Kosinski had 'earmarked big music moments' across the movie's narrative, explains Weaver, who oversaw and produced the project. His team at Atlantic Records took those notes and came up with ideas for songs, artists and writers, collaborating with soundtrack executive producers Kosinski and Bruckheimer. They enlisted Atlantic artists, like Ed Sheeran and Rose, but also looked elsewhere. 'It's mostly, if not solely, about what the film needs,' Weaver says. 'It really kind of boils down to whose voice would sound best in these various moments... Who can accomplish what Joe and Jerry needed from a storytelling perspective?' And what they needed were big bespoke songs to meet the film's intensity and match its inclusion of huge classic rock songs, like Queen's 'We Will Rock You'. All the songs featured on 'F1 The Album' are originals, which is why Tate McRae's 'Sports Car,' despite its fitting name, is not on it; instead, she offered 'Just Keep Watching'. Atlantic, usually Weaver, would play the label's song choices against filmed sequences in the editing room, Bruckheimer explains. 'So, if there's a race and we need to end it with a song he'll play, you know, maybe 10 songs against that sequence and it's the best song that wins. It's not usually the song that we think is going to be the biggest hit or features the biggest artists,' Bruckheimer says. 'It's the one that works for a particular sequence.' 'F1 is such a global sport. I wanted the soundtrack of the film to reflect that,' Kosinski says. That meant tapping artists 'from all over the world to give it a feel that the sport really has.' Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton, who consulted on the project, made sure that need for global inclusivity was clear from the start, says Kosinski. 'Sometimes here in Hollywood we can get a little myopic in terms of our cultural focus,' he says. 'And this sport, it is inspiring to me to just see how eclectic it is.' He would send Hamilton demos of the soundtrack and get his opinion: 'I sent him the Burna Boy track,' Kosinski remembers. 'Louis was like, 'This is going to be a giant hit.'' 'We were very intentional about genre and demographic,' Weaver adds. 'We have pop records. We have Afrobeat records. We have electronic records. We have country songs.' The result is a collection of 17 tracks with broad appeal — not unlike the lineup of a major summer music festival. 'It sounds amazing,' Bruckheimer says. 'The soundtrack blends perfectly in with every scene that we put the music against.' Artists on the 'F1' soundtrack found inspiration and participated in different ways. 'Sometimes it was bringing an artist in and showing them a scene, like Rose,' who then created to that, says Kosinski. Chris Stapleton did the same. Other artists were simply given a concept or an idea to inspire them and would record a track that would later be tailored to a specific scene. For Sheeran, Kosinski came up with 10 key phrases as lyrical prompts, words that 'identify Sonny Hayes,' the film's protagonist played by Pitt. Sheeran's song, 'Drive,' was written with John Mayer and Blake Slatkin 'specifically for the end title of the movie,' adds Weaver. 'It's kind of the culmination of the Brad Pitt character.' Other artists have deep ties to Formula One — like the DJ Tiësto, who has regularly performed at F1 grands prix across the globe as part of 'a long-standing relationship' with the motorsport, as he tells the AP. Atlantic Records asked if he'd like to pitch any songs for the movie — and he actually ended up in the film, portraying himself in a big Las Vegas nightclub scene. 'I hope I win an Oscar for this,' he jokes. 'I jumped right on it,' Tiesto says of the opportunity. 'Dance music and racing, there's a connection because they're both high energy. And with F1, it's a perfect combo and it brings people together from all over the world.' That's true for the Dutch DJ especially: His song for the soundtrack, 'OMG!,' features Missouri rapper Sexyy Red. 'She heard the song, and she really loved it and, yeah, she wanted to write lyrics for it,' he says. 'It was a really cool collaboration.' (AP) APA RB RB
