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.

Boulder Attack Suspect's Family Taken Into Federal Custody
Federal authorities have taken custody of the family of the suspect in Sunday's terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem That action comes two days after Mohammed Soliman, 45, was arrested in connection with a firebombing that burned at least a dozen Jewish supporters at a June 1 rally. Authorities say the Egyptian national was in the United States illegally after overstaying a visa and work permit, and that he lived in Colorado Springs with his wife and five children. Noem's post said Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers 'are taking the family ... into ICE custody.' That action was taken to investigate 'to what extent his family knew about this horrific attack, if they had any knowledge of it, or if they provided support to it,' Noem said. Officials said eight people were taken to hospitals after Soliman allegedly used a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to burn rally participants; four others came forward with less serious injuries. At least one person suffered critical injuries. Soliman was also injured, and wore a bandage on his head when his mug shot was taken. Soliman faces multiple federal and state charges, including attempted murder; a An FBI affidavit said that Soliman told investigators he had left messages for his family on a cellphone that he hid in a desk drawer at his home before making the two-hour drive to Boulder. He had planned the onslaught for more than a year, investigators said, adding that Soliman stated he used YouTube videos to learn how to make explosive devices that were used in the attack. Soliman also said he was targeting Jews out of hatred, the FBI said. U.S. Attorney J. Bishop Grewell told reporters that Soliman admitted he would have used a firearm if he had been able to buy one; federal laws Noem said: 'I am continuing to pray for the victims of this attack and for all of their families. Our thoughts and our prayers go out to all of them, and I want them to know that justice will be served.' On June 2, Secretary of State Marco Rubio Many commenters applauded Rubio and others in President Donald Trump's administration for stricter immigration enforcement. Others pointed out that Soliman's work permit expired in March 2025—after the president took office, critics noted, saying his administration had failed to nab Soliman before the attack.

Joy Reid floats speculation that her race, ‘anxiety' surrounding Trump played role in MSNBC firing
Ex-MSNBC host Joy Reid spoke out about her show being canceled on Monday, speculating that her race and network 'anxiety' surrounding President Donald Trump played a role in her ultimately being fired from the liberal network. 'I try not to speculate too much publicly because, again, I can't get inside the minds of other people. But I can tell you what other people have speculated about… There are lots of people at the network who are critical of Donald Trump. I mean, and they're still critical of him, I'm assuming, you know. So I don't think that's [it], but I do know there is a lot of anxiety both there and, I think, in every media. We're seeing it at CBS,' she said, referring to Trump's lawsuit against the network over a '60 Minutes' interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris. Reid spoke with Katie Couric in a video posted on her Substack page and on her YouTube channel. Reid's MSNBC show was canceled earlier this year. 'We're seeing it at ABC, where allegedly 'The View' hosts were told not to go so hard on Trump. There's a push for people to, hey, do less Trump. Do more entertainment. Don't be hard on him,' the former MSNBC host said, noting reporting that ABC's 'The View' hosts were told to tone down their political discussions. Couric pointed out that there was no difference between Reid and liberal hosts Nicolle Wallace or Rachel Maddow, to which Reid responded, 'only in one way was I different. I'm a Black woman doing the thing.' 'I think that there is a difference for Trump in hearing the kinds of criticisms specifically out of a Black woman, it bothers him in a way it doesn't bother him like anything else. He's got this sort of tick about race, you know, and about, sort of criticism coming specifically from a Black woman because we've seen him lay out and dish out real abuse against Black women journalists,' Reid said during her conversation with Couric. 3 Joy Reid, the ex-MSNBC host of 'The ReidOut,' claims that her race, along with President Trump's presence, played a role in her being let go by the liberal network. 'I did a specific thing, which was, I tried to constantly unpack the racial history of the country, which is very much against the sort of Project 2025 thing. And it's something I can do in a certain capacity because of my background, because not only am I a Black woman, but I come from immigrant parents who come from what Donald Trump would consider s—hole countries, but that have a take on race that is different,' Reid continued. Reid's show was replaced with 'The WeekNight', an ensemble program featuring former Kamala Harris spokesperson Symone Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez, the daughter of disgraced former New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, and Michael Steele, the former Republican National Committee chair who now staunchly opposes the GOP. MSNBC's new lineup has struggled in its first month, with Psaki shedding half the audience her predecessors averaged in the same timeslot, and with its other new programming struggling to attract viewers. 3 Reid spoke with Katie Couric in a video posted on her Substack and YouTube channel, explaining how President Trump and her race led to her being fired. AP MSNBC and ABC's 'The View' did not immediately return requests for comment. Reid said prior to her show's cancellation, she was told that her show was 'down less' in ratings than any other MSNBC show, aside from Maddow's. Reid and her former primetime colleagues faced a major ratings decline after Trump won the election. Her show, 'The Reidout,' shed 47% of its total audience, averaging just 759,000 viewers after averaging 1.4 million viewers throughout 2024 leading up to Election Day, 3 Reid told Couric specifically, 'I think that there is a difference for Trump in hearing the kinds of criticisms specifically out of a Black woman, it bothers him in a way it doesn't bother him like anything else.' Substack/@joyannreid 'Our show was down less than any other primetime show. We were down, other than Rachel Maddow, we were down the least. So we were just told that we were holding on pretty well. And, you know, it's not like the ratings have gotten better since I've been gone. So I can tell you, honestly, I even had my exit interview and no one has told me why I was fired. I have no idea,' she said. Reid said MSNBC's reasoning was 'scripted' and 'perfunctory,' and explained that she had started being careful on social media. 'We were being very careful, and I was trying to be more careful about anything on social media, because I know there was a real anxiety about social media, very much an anxiety about anything on social media,' she said. 'I don't know, I genuinely was not told.' Fox News' Joseph Wulfsohn and Brian Flood contributed to this report.
