Halle Bailey Seeks Protection from Alleged Abusive Ex as New Chapter Begins

Halle Bailey, renowned for her role in Disney’s live-action 'The Little Mermaid,' has recently been granted a restraining order against her former boyfriend and rapper, DDG, born Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr. The 25-year-old actress claims she has endured repeated violence from Granberry following their breakup in October, prompting fears for her and their one-year-old son, Halo.A Los Angeles judge has mandated that DDG maintain a distance from Bailey and their son until a scheduled hearing on June 6. In official documents presented to the court, Bailey described a recurring pattern of "physical, verbal, emotional, and financial abuse" throughout their relationship, and expressed her urgency in seeking protection against what she identifies as ongoing abuse.Bailey's allegations detail several disturbing incidents, including a January confrontation in which she claims Granberry physically assaulted her while she was securing their child in his car. According to her account, the altercation escalated to the point where he allegedly pulled her hair and struck her face against the steering wheel, resulting in a chipped tooth. Visual evidence of her injuries, including photographs of bruises and her chipped tooth, was also submitted to the court.In another alarming incident two months later, Bailey accused Granberry of invading her home and sending her a threatening message that suggested infidelity. Additionally, she reported an instance where he became aggressive when she refused to send their sick child to visit him, culminating in him damaging her surveillance camera and physically assaulting her by slamming a car door on her while she was holding their baby.As part of the protective order, Granberry has also been instructed to refrain from possessing any weapons. The judge is expected to review the restraining order on June 6, with the possibility of extending it for up to five years.Bailey has also requested that Granberry cease disparaging her on social media, as his public comments have led to threats and harassment directed at her from fans. Known for her music career alongside her sister in the duo Chloe x Halle and her acclaimed performances in television and film, Bailey is navigating this challenging chapter while maintaining her commitment to her artistry.Granberry, 27, initially gained fame through YouTube and has released four albums since signing with a record label in 2018.
