Halle Bailey claims physical violence led to end of relationship

15 May - "The Little Mermaid" star Halle Bailey has been granted a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, rapper and YouTuber DDG.

On 13 May, a Los Angeles judge ordered DDG, real name Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., to stay away from Bailey and their one-year-old son Halo until the hearing, which is scheduled for 6 June.

The singer submitted documents to request the order earlier, saying that DDG has been "physically, verbally, emotionally, and financially abusive" towards her and that the restraining order was for her and her son's protection.

The couple had been together since 2022 but Bailey alleged that she ended the relationship last year due to multiple acts of physical violence.

The former couple has a son named Halo

"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," she said in the document, which also had photos of her chipped tooth and bruises on her arms attached.

She also claimed that the rapper had been badmouthing her to his millions of fans on the streaming platforms Twitch and YouTube, which resulted in her getting threats and hate on social media.

In addition to not getting close to Bailey and their son, DDG was also ordered by the court to not possess any weapon. The order can be extended up to five years at the 6 June hearing.
