Halle Bailey Accuses Ex-Boyfriend DDG of Abuse, Gets Temporary Restraining Order

Halle Bailey accused her ex-boyfriend and father of her child, DDG, of abuse, and was granted a temporary restraining order against him, per court documents obtained by PEOPLE on Tuesday, May 13.

The Little Mermaid star, 25, detailed alleged incidents of abuse she claims to have endured at the hands of DDG, 27, whose full name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry. The former couple’s son, Halo Saint Granberry, born in December 2023, is also protected from DDG under the temporary restraining order, which was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

The temporary restraining order requires DDG, a rapper and Twitch streamer, to remain over 100 yards away from Bailey and Halo at all times, including at Halo’s school and Bailey’s vehicle. Bailey and DDG began their relationship in 2022 and ultimately split in 2024.

PEOPLE reached out to lawyers for Bailey and representatives for DDG for comment.

TMZ was the first to report the news.

Bailey’s request for a restraining order obtained by PEOPLE detail several incidents of alleged abuse, with specific instances dating back to January 2025. “I realize that there is no placating Darryl. I cannot allow this abuse any longer,” Bailey wrote in the documents.

Among the allegations made against DDG are that he frequently verbally abused Bailey, often calling her “a bitch” or “evil” in front of their 2-year-old son. “Whenever he wishes to cause upset, he starts badmouthing me to his several millions of fans,” Bailey wrote in her declaration.

The declaration continued, “He claims I am withholding our son and that I am with other men. As a result, I then receive threats and hate on social media. He seems to try to set up drama for his fans. He goes ‘live’ ranting about me and alleges that I am keeping Halo from him. This is false. I have requested a set schedule, which he refuses.”

Bailey filed a police report with the Los Angeles Police Department in March, according to the declaration. DDG allegedly entered her home after she warned him that she and Halo were sick with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and that Halo could not leave the house, Bailey claims in her declaration. In response, DDG allegedly began screaming profanities at Bailey, damaging her Ring camera, and attempting to take the child without her consent.

The request for a restraining order include photographic evidence of the alleged abuse, including an earlier incident that allegedly resulted in injuries to Bailey. Photos show her chipped front tooth and a large bruise on her bicep.

An alleged text message was also submitted as evidence. Bailey spent Mother’s Day in St. Lucia with her sister, Chloe Bailey, despite DDG allegedly accusing her of visiting the island to be with a man.

The text message exhibited with the court documents, sent on Sunday, May 11, read, “Darryl, are u not tired of harassing me? you make up a new lie on me everyday.. i’m in st lucia having fun with shermay and chloe. not with any man out here. i wouldn’t do that, i have halo. i told ur mom i was gonna be with my sister last week.. please let me enjoy my mother’s day in peace. i hope you are okay and feel better soon.“

Bailey has requested custody of Halo while she films an upcoming project in Italy for two months, beginning on June 7.

“I have family and a nanny who will be traveling with me to care for Halo while I am working,” the court document detailed.

“I also ask the Court to order Darryl to cease and desist from posting and/or streaming on any and all platforms about about Halo and/or me, including but not limited to Youtube, Twitch, Tiktok, Instagram, and Twitter/X,” the request read. “He is a YouTube and Twitch Blogger and creates a fan frenzy by making false claims about me. This has caused me to feel afraid and victimized. His fans then threaten me. I am often scared for my life and Halo’s safety. #freehalo has become a slogan online.”

Bailey also asked the judge to order DDG to attend a Batterer Intervention Program, and to show proof he completed the 52-week program.

A court hearing in the case was scheduled for June 4.
