Halle Bailey Gets Restraining Order Against Ex DDG After Alleged Attack

Halle Bailey, who shares 16-month-old son Halo with rapper DDG, was granted a restraining order against the musician after the pair allegedly had a physical altercation in January.

Halle Bailey has taken legal action against her ex DDG.

The Little Mermaid star—who shares son Halo, 17 months, with the “Moonwalking in Calabasas” rapper—was granted a temporary domestic violence restraining order May 13 against the musician, according to legal documents obtained by E! News.

In the request filed in Los Angeles, Halle said the pair had a fight back in January during which DDG (real name Daryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.) slammed her face against the steering wheel of a car, 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.”

Halle also described multiple other alleged altercations between the pair, including receiving a “threatening text” from DDG in March after he allegedly entered her home while she wasn’t there. Days later, the musician allegedly locked Halle out of her house and stole her phone before driving away and throwing it out of his car window.

In addition to these interactions, Halle said DDG often engages in “badmouthing me to his several millions of fans” across YouTube and Twitch, which she said results in her receiving “threats and hate on social media.”

“I have done everything possible to avoid going to Court,” she added. “I have tried to placate Darryl by providing him access to Halo, even though he is not with Halo and often leaves Halo with his Mother. I have facilitated his visits, no matter where I am and often last minute. I realize that there is no placating Darryl. I cannot allow this abuse any longer. I cannot keep living like this.”

E! News has reached out to reps for Halle and DDG and has not yet heard back.

In March, DDG publicly accused the Color Purple actress of keeping him from seeing their child.

“I just don’t want it to come to the point where he’s like, ‘Alright, my pops not around,’” he said during a livestream shared to his YouTube channel at the time. “That’s my main thing. I was more frustrated and annoyed than anything.”

However, while announcing their breakup months before, DDG painted a picture of his and Halle’s breakup that reflected a more amicable split.

“After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways,” he wrote in a statement shared to his Instagram Story in October. “This decision was not easy, but we believe it’s the best path forward for both of us. I cherish the time we’ve spent together and the love we shared.”

He continued, “Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true. We are still best friends and adore each other. As we focus on our individual journeys and our roles as co-parents, we cherish the bond we’ve built and the beautiful moments we’ve shared.”

Following their breakup, Halle addressed her renewed focus on the positive relationships in her life, as well as her goal to invest in her mental health.

“This new chapter in my life is just all about self-love and giving all that love that I pour out of myself back into myself,” the 25-year-old told in October. “I feel like you have to fill yourself up in order to be able to love other people and beings.”

She added, “My son, for example, I want to make sure I’m fully there for him. I think it’s really essential to our self-worth.”

Halle even gushed about Halo, sharing, “The best part of motherhood is knowing that you are being loved unconditionally by this beautiful being that you were given. And he is a reminder to continue to love yourself, and that you’re important and special because of how much he needs you.”
