Actress Halle Bailey seeks protection for herself and her child from alleged abusive behavior of her former partner DDG.
Bailey, who gained widespread recognition for her role in Disney's live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, detailed in court documents that the abuse escalated during their relationship, including violent incidents that caused her significant fear for herself and their one-year-old son, Halo.
On Tuesday, a Los Angeles judge mandated that Granberry maintain a distance from Bailey and their son until a subsequent hearing scheduled for June 6. Bailey, now 25, described instances of "multiple acts of physical violence," claiming Granberry had been increasingly abusive throughout their time together.
The actress recounted a specific incident where the situation turned physical while she was securing their baby into a car seat. "We fought each other, wrestling and tussling," she stated, adding that Granberry had yanked her hair and slammed her face against the steering wheel, resulting in a chipped tooth.
In her restraining order filing, she included photographic evidence of her injuries, including bruises and damage to her tooth. Notably, Bailey also alleged that Granberry trespassed into her home and sent her disturbing photos that suggested infidelity.
Additional accounts described Granberry's aggressive behavior, including smashing Bailey's Ring doorbell camera and physically assaulting her when she sought help from a relative. Consequently, she filed a police report regarding these incidents.
The restraining order also prohibits Granberry from possessing any firearms. The court has the option to extend the order for up to five years at the upcoming hearing.
Bailey's request also called upon Granberry to cease disparaging her on social media, asserting that his statements had led to threats against her online. The singer and actress is well-known for her music career, both as part of the duo Chloe x Halle and as a solo artist, and has received five Grammy nominations.
DDG made his mark in the early-mid 2010s as a social media influencer on YouTube and has since released four studio albums following a record deal in 2018. The circumstances surrounding Bailey and Granberry highlight the emergence of serious concerns regarding personal safety and domestic abuse in relationships, emphasizing the urgent need for awareness and support for victims.
