Halle Bailey recently filed a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, rapper and YouTuber DDG (legal name Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.). According to the famous singer and actress, this person has repeatedly committed violent acts against her, causing her to live in constant fear not only for her own safety but also for the safety of their children.

“Throughout our relationship,” Halle Bailey said in documents requesting a restraining order, “Daryl has been and continues to be physically, verbally, emotionally, and financially abusive to me.”

Halle Bailey said that in January, there was a tense conflict between them, she was called a “bitch”, had her hair pulled, and her face smashed into the steering wheel, causing her teeth to chip. Then, in March, the rapper entered the actress and singer’s private home when she was not home and took photos with implied threats. A few days later, the rapper continued to attack, destroy property, and recording equipment at Halle Bailey’s home while she was holding her child. On his live streaming platform, his ex-boyfriend also incited fans to attack Halle Bailey. “As a result, I received threats and hatred on social media,” she said.

Halle Bailey is a famous singer who has been nominated for six Grammy Awards as a solo artist and a member of the sister group Chloe x Halle. In 2023, she became the center of attention when she was chosen to play Ariel in Disney’s live-action version of The Little Mermaid . The film did not become a blockbuster in terms of revenue as expected and also raised many mixed opinions about giving the role to an artist of color.

Halle Bailey and rapper DDG went public with their relationship in 2022. By the end of 2023, they had a child together, but in 2024 they announced their separation and shared custody of the children.
