DDG accuses Halle Bailey of being ‘psychological risk' to son Halo in new restraining order citing ‘self-harm'
DDG, born Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr, has sought a domestic violence restraining order against Halle Bailey. On Wednesday, the 27-year-old filed a motion to request an emergency hearing, asking the court to block the Little Mermaid star's international travel with their 17-month-old son, Halo, People reported.
In court documents obtained by the outlet, DDG alleged that Bailey poses an 'imminent emotional and psychological risk to the minor child based on repeated, documented threats of self-harm.'
In the filing made at the Los Angeles Superior Court, the rapper's legal team asked the judge to prohibit the 25-year-old actress from travelling to Italy, arguing that his son would be without any 'emergency intervention mechanisms' overseas.

The Hood Melody rapper further alleged that Bailey '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 nearly three-year relationship, according to court documents obtained by E! News.
DDG claimed that when The Color Purple star was pregnant in 2023, she 'threatened me by demanding that we reconcile, or she would go through with the abortion.' The same year, Bailey allegedly 'threatened to end her life using my legally owned firearm.'
'Given these threats to self-harm. 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,' DDG added in his filing.
The Pink Dreads rapper made these serious allegations against his ex-girlfriend weeks after she was granted temporary physical and legal custody of their toddler.

In her restraining order, Bailey alleged that '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,' per Associated Press.
Detailing a January incident, she claimed that DDG repeatedly called her a 'b***h' while she was trying to strap Halo inside their car seat. 'The next thing I knew, things got physical between us,' she went on in the legal documents obtained by the outlet.
'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,' Bailey added.

Queen Camilla stays neutral amid ongoing rift between King Charles and Prince Harry
London, June 7 (UNI) Amid continuing tensions between King Charles and Prince Harry, Queen Camilla has chosen to remain neutral, staying away from the discord that has fractured the British royal family. The Queen "stays out of it", a source told PEOPLE in this week's exclusive cover story. The family's fractures came to light when the Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped back from their royal roles in 2020, and today, the deep divide between the King and Harry remains one of the most painful fissures in his reign. Since then, the chasm has widened through a cascade of media exposés, a Netflix docuseries and Harry's incendiary memoir, 'Spare', in which he notably characterised Camilla as a manipulative figure intent on restoring her public image, allegedly at the expense of his own. "I had complex feelings about gaining a stepparent, who I thought had recently sacrificed me on her personal PR altar," Prince Harry said in his memoir. In an interview with Good Morning America in 2023, he further explained: "She had a reputation or an image to rehabilitate, and whatever conversations happened, whatever deals or trading was made right at the beginning, she was led to believe that that would be the best way to doing it." Still, Harry struck a tone of reluctant civility, noting: "We haven't spoken for a long time. I love every member of my family, despite the differences. So when I see her, we're perfectly pleasant with each other. She's my stepmother. I don't look at her as an evil stepmother. I see someone who married into this institution, and done everything she can to improve her own reputation and her own image, for her own sake", reports PEOPLE. King Charles is currently undergoing treatment for cancer, adding pressure to reconcile with Harry before it's too late. Although both were recently in North America, they didn't meet. In 'Spare', Harry opened up about his conflicted feelings surrounding his father's marriage to Camilla and alleged that she traded information with the press to salvage her public image. There has been a desire to reconnect at times, but "the underlying issue is trust", according to royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith. "The King and William don't trust Harry and Meghan with any kind of confidential conversation," Bedell Smith says. Insiders add that King Charles isn't encouraged by his inner circle. The Prince of Wales has shown no interest in extending an olive branch, and senior aides like Clive Alderton, who was targeted in 'Spare', are unlikely to encourage outreach. "There is not a good angel in his ear to say, 'Be a good dad and make the first move,' " says Valentine Low, author of the upcoming book 'Power and the Palace'. UNI NST RN

Deep fake video mimicking Owaisi promises ₹53,000 per day; Hyderabad MP lodges complaint
All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has filed a formal complaint with the Hyderabad Cyber Crime police after a deep fake video — falsely depicted him as promoting a fraudulent investment scheme — surfaced online. In the doctored footage, Mr. Owaisi was made to appear as though he is speaking in English, endorsing an online platform that allegedly offered a daily income of ₹53,000. In his complaint, Mr. Owaisi stated that the video had been deliberately created and circulated to mislead the public and misuse his identity for fraudulent gain. He warned that such content not only endangers individuals by promoting scams but also causes reputational damage to those impersonated. Calling for swift action, the MP urged police to ensure the video is taken down across all social media platforms, trace its source, and issue a public advisory to prevent others from falling prey to similar scams. Following his complaint, a case was registered at the Cyber Crime police station under relevant sections of the IT Act, including 66C (identity theft), 66D (cheating by personation), and 66E (violation of privacy). Charges were also invoked under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for personation, forgery, and defamation.
