Halle Bailey Requests Sole Custody of Son After DDG's Alleged Attacks

Warning: This story discusses allegations of domestic violence and emotional abuse.
Halle Bailey has taken steps to protect her son Halo.
In addition to the temporary domestic violence restraining order she was granted against her ex DDG (real name Daryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.) on May 13, the Little Mermaid actress was also given sole physical and legal custody of the pair's 16-month-old until a June 4 court hearing, according to documents obtained by E! News. She has requested to have full legal and physical custody of their son moving forward.
Given the temporary court order, DDG must keep at least 100 yards away from both Halle and Halo, including her home and vehicle, and is also barred from personally contacting the Color Purple actress. Additionally, the 'Moonwalking in Calabasas' rapper is not allowed any visitation with Halo until 'further order of the court.'
Halle—whose relationship with DDG ended in October after two years of dating—was also granted an order to prevent child abduction due to the 'Impatient' rapper's alleged history of physically and verbally abusing her, taking Halo without her permission and not cooperating with co-parenting. Due to the approved order, DDG 'must not apply for passports or other documents that can be used for travel.'

E! News has reached out to DDG's rep for comment and has not yet heard back.
In Halle's restraining order and custody request, she described multiple alleged altercations with DDG. In one alleged dispute from January, she said she was helping to buckle Halo into the 'I'm Geekin' rapper's car when he slammed her face against the steering wheel, leaving her with bruises on her arm and a chipped tooth, according to the docs, which included photos of the injuries.
'I then stopped fighting back as I was in a lot of pain,' she wrote in the order, adding elsewhere, 'Darryl lacks an understanding of how his actions impact Halo. He is often verbally abusive towards me in front of Halo.'
In other altercations, Halle detailed receiving a 'threatening text' from DDG in March after he allegedly entered her home while she wasn't there. Days later, he allegedly locked the actress out of her house, stole her phone and drove away before throwing it out of his car window.
Halle and DDG are set to appear in court on June 4. Until then, read on to look back through their two-year relationship.
