Halle Bailey 'granted temporary sole custody of son' after DDG abuse allegations
Halle Bailey has reportedly been granted temporary sole physical and legal custody of her son.
The 25-year-old singer and actress - who had also been granted a temporary restraining order against her ex DDG (real name Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.) - will have their 16-month-old son in her care until a June 4 court hearing after accusing the rapper of domestic abuse.
According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Bailey claimed she filed for sole custody without notifying DDG because she was "afraid that the violence would reoccur" and that "the other party would take the children out of the area".
It comes after the 'Little Mermaid' star was also granted a temporary retraining order.
Under the temps of the protection order, DDG must stay at least 100 yards away from Bailey and their son, which includes her home and vehicle.
The YouTube and Twitch star is also banned from personally contacting her, while he isn't allowed any visitation with Halo until "further order of the court".
Just over six months after they announced their split, PEOPLE learned via legal documents that Bailey has accused him of various kinds of abuse.
In documents obtained by the outlet, she alleged: "I realize that there is no placating Darryl. I cannot allow this abuse any longer.
"Whenever he wishes to cause upset, he starts badmouthing me to his several millions of fans.
"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."
The 'Color Purple' star included photographic evidence with her request, which included pictures of her bearing a chipped front tooth and a large bruise on her bicep.

‘I was strange': How this comedian's defence mechanism became a lucrative career
Demi Adejuyigbe is one of the US' most acclaimed young comic talents but, as he explains on a Zoom call from Los Angeles with his cat, Leo, making people laugh was initially more of a 'defence mechanism' than a career path. Born in London to Nigerian parents, Adejuyigbe moved to Dallas, Texas, when he was five years old and soon found he had a knack for disarming humour. 'I was one of very few black kids in my school and I was very small,' he says. 'I was strange and didn't feel like I fit in, so the ability to make other people laugh, and to make fun of myself before others could, felt like a good tool to have.' The 32-year-old grew up on The Simpsons, developing a love of parody songs, while Late Night with Conan O'Brien stoked his interest in sketch comedy. After a summer teaching himself the After Effects video editing software from YouTube tutorials he started making short comic films, achieving virality on the now-defunct Vine platform. Among his hits were an alternative theme song for TV show Succession, a Will Smith-style rap summarising the film Arrival and – one of his favourite creations – an imagining of a heartsick Lana Del Rey pining for animated mouse Stuart Little. He's now combined these different strands of his career into his live show, Demi Adejuyigbe Is Going to Do One (1) Backflip, which has already earned him a best-newcomer nomination at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It features videos, songs, low-pressure audience interaction and even mock phone calls from Barack Obama. Adejuyigbe says he sought to create a show more multifaceted than traditional club comedy. 'To me, stand-up always feels like a play, where it's not very interactive and it's just 'here are my jokes',' he says. 'I think it's more exciting when it's built on the element of surprise and you feel like you're in this environment where anything can happen. It's very fun to play with different elements of comedy and have this theatrical kind of adventure.'

Influencer honours friend's son after suspected pool death
American influencer Avery Woods has paid tribute to her best friend's young son, who died in hospital in May following an alleged drowning tragedy. Emilie Kiser's three-year-old son Trigg died on May 18, days after he was reportedly found unconscious in the family's backyard pool in Arizona on May 12. The lifestyle influencer, who boasts more than 4.6 million followers across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, has remained silent about the tragedy, but her close friend honoured the adored little boy in a heartwarming way. On Monday, Woods filmed a 'get ready with me' video for her fans on TikTok after being absent on the platform for weeks. 'Been a while since I put makeup on, so thought I'd get ready for our anniversary 🤍 missed you,' the influencer wrote in the caption. The video showed Woods with her hair slicked back as she applied her makeup, wearing a white tank top. Despite the clip being just over a minute long, eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot a touching detail included on one of her silver necklaces. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

In a statement issued on behalf of the Chandler Police Department, spokesperson Sonu Wasu told People that Trigg was hospitalised after authorities responded to a drowning call on May 12. The toddler was taken to Chandler Regional Medical Centre and then to Phoenix Children's Hospital in critical condition, according to AZ Central. Kiser and her husband Brady are also parents to son Theodore, who was born in March. The 26-year-old filed a lawsuit on May 27 in Arizona Superior Court for Maricopa County to keep records about Trigg's death out of public view, according to People.
