Halle Bailey Secures Restraining Order Against Ex-Boyfriend DDG Over Abuse Allegations
Actress and singer Halle Bailey takes a stand against alleged violence in her past relationship, securing legal protection for her and their child.
Bailey, 25, accused rapper Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr. (DDG) of a pattern of abusive behavior during their time together, describing incidents that have raised serious concerns for her safety and that of their one-year-old son. A Los Angeles judge has mandated that Granberry stay away from both Bailey and their son until a hearing scheduled for June 6.
In her request for a restraining order, Bailey outlined numerous acts of violence, claiming her former partner's behavior escalated after their split in October. Among these, she described one incident in January where Granberry allegedly pulled her hair and slammed her face against a car's steering wheel, resulting in a chipped tooth. Accompanying her documents, she provided photographic evidence of her injuries, including bruises and her damaged tooth, further substantiating her claims.
Bailey stated in the legal documents that throughout their relationship, she had experienced "physical, verbal, emotional, and financial abuse". She emphasized the need for protective measures for herself and their son, Halo, expressing a profound sense of fear regarding Granberry’s behavior.
Her allegations didn't stop there; Bailey reported another troubling incident where Granberry entered her home without permission, sending her a text with a photo of their bed and a threatening message implying infidelity. Additionally, she described a confrontation that escalated to violence when Granberry damaged her doorbell camera and assaulted her as she sought support from a family member during a particularly heated argument. She subsequently filed a police report related to this altercation.
As part of the restraining order, Granberry has been prohibited from owning weapons. The court will review the case in June, where the restraining order could be extended for up to five years. Bailey is also seeking limitations on Granberry's social media use, aiming to curtail his public allegations that have subjected her to online harassment.
Bailey has gained recognition for her musical talents alongside her sister in the duo Chloe x Halle and has been nominated for five Grammy Awards. Beyond music, she transitioned into acting, gaining acclaim for her role in "Grown-ish" and solidifying her status with her recent portrayal of Ariel in "The Little Mermaid". Meanwhile, DDG has built his fame through YouTube as well as a successful music career, releasing four albums since signing a record deal in 2018.
