Halle Bailey Seeks Protection: Restraining Order Granted Against DDG
Singer and actress Halle Bailey, star of Disney's live-action "The Little Mermaid," has been granted a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, rapper and YouTuber DDG (Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.). The order, issued by a Los Angeles judge, comes after Bailey detailed disturbing allegations of repeated physical, verbal, and emotional abuse.
The Allegations and the Order
In court documents, Bailey, 25, paints a picture of a tumultuous relationship marked by violence. She claims the abuse continued even after their split last year. The restraining order mandates that DDG, 27, stay away from Bailey and their 17-month-old son, Halo, until a hearing scheduled for June 6th. Failure to comply could result in serious legal consequences.
Bailey's account includes a particularly harrowing incident in January. She describes an argument escalating into a physical altercation while she was buckling Halo into a car seat. She alleges DDG pulled her hair and slammed her face against the steering wheel, resulting in a chipped tooth and bruises. Photographs of her injuries were submitted as evidence.
- Online Harassment: Bailey also accused DDG of using his substantial online presence – he boasts millions of followers across platforms like YouTube and Twitch – to harass her. She alleges he’s spread false accusations, claiming she's withholding Halo and is seeing other men, inciting online hate and threats against her.
- Home Invasion and Threats: Bailey claims DDG illegally entered her home while she was away and sent a threatening message along with a photo of her empty bed. In another incident, she alleges he became verbally abusive and damaged her security camera after she refused to let him take Halo when the baby was sick.
The judge's order also prohibits DDG from possessing weapons. The restraining order, if extended at the June hearing, could remain in effect for up to five years.
The Aftermath and Public Reaction
News of the restraining order has sent shockwaves through social media. Many fans expressed their support for Bailey and concern for her and Halo's safety. While DDG's representatives haven't yet responded to requests for comment, the gravity of the allegations and the court's action speak volumes.
The case highlights the pervasive issue of domestic violence, particularly the ways in which abusers can leverage technology to control and harass their victims. Bailey's courageous decision to seek legal protection serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of speaking out and seeking help.
Moving Forward
The June 6th hearing will be crucial in determining the long-term implications of this case. Bailey is seeking full custody of Halo while she films an upcoming project in Italy. The court will weigh the evidence presented and decide on the best course of action to ensure the safety and well-being of Bailey and her son.
