Halle Bailey has been granted temporary sole physical and legal custody of her son, Halo, whom she shares with ex DDG, until a June 4 court hearing. The “Little Mermaid” star filed for sole custody of their 16-month-old son after accusing the rapper of domestic abuse. She requested to maintain sole custody of their child moving forward without notifying her ex, fearing that violence could reoccur.
The court order follows Bailey’s allegations of physical attacks by her ex multiple times after their breakup. In the legal documents obtained by Page Six, Bailey claimed that the first incident of abuse occurred in January when she tried to set up a visitation schedule with DDG. He allegedly became verbally abusive, resulting in a physical altercation where Bailey’s tooth was chipped.
Not really sure why this matters, but Bailey chose to ride in DDG’s car to his home out of concern for their son’s safety. She later described the incident to DDG’s family and included photos of her injuries in her restraining order request, which was granted by the LA courts. DDG must now stay 100 yards away from Bailey and Halo and is prohibited from possessing firearms.
In the legal documents, Bailey also requested that DDG refrain from using his streaming platforms to incite his fanbase against her. She stated that he would bad mouth her to his millions of fans, leading to threats and hate on social media. This led to a temporary restraining order being granted, specifying the distance DDG must maintain from Bailey and Halo.
Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like a messy situation all around. Halle and DDG welcomed their son, Halo, in December 2023, only to end their relationship just 10 months later. In November 2024, Halle criticized DDG for live streaming with their son without her knowledge, expressing her upset at having her baby in front of millions of people.
