Actress and singer Halle Bailey has been granted a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, rapper and YouTuber DDG. Bailey says DDG, whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., has been repeatedly violent with her. She fears for her own safety and that of their 17-month-old son, Halo.
On Tuesday, a Los Angeles judge ordered Granberry to stay away from Bailey and their son until a hearing on June 6. In her request for the restraining order, Bailey detailed a pattern of physical, verbal, emotional, and financial abuse. “Throughout our relationship, Darryl has been and continues to be abusive towards me.
I am seeking orders to protect myself and our son, Halo, from his ongoing abuse,” Bailey wrote. Bailey, 25, and Granberry, 27, were in a relationship from 2022 until last year. Since their breakup, Bailey reported multiple acts of physical violence.
In January, Bailey said Granberry called her names and became physically violent while she was strapping their baby into a car seat. She said Granberry pulled her hair and slammed her face against the steering wheel, chipping her tooth. Bailey provided photos of her injuries as evidence.
Restraining order granted
In March, Bailey claimed Granberry entered her house when she wasn’t home. He sent her a threatening message along with a photo of her bed.
Days later, he allegedly berated her for not wanting to send their sick baby on a visit with him. He then smashed the Ring camera on her porch. Bailey filed a police report over these incidents.
She also asked that Granberry stop using his streaming platforms to turn his followers against her. She said this has led to threats and hate messages on social media. Granberry has been ordered not to possess any weapons.
The restraining order could be extended for up to five years at the June 6 hearing. DDG, from Pontiac, Michigan, first gained fame as a video streamer before becoming a rapper. He recently released his fourth studio album, “Blame the Chat.”
Bailey, from Atlanta, has been nominated for six Grammy Awards both as a solo artist and as part of the duo Chloe x Halle with her sister.
She starred in the sitcom “Grown-ish” from 2018 to 2022. She also played the title character in Disney’s 2023 live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid.”
