What are Halle Bailey's accusations towards her ex-boyfriend DDG? Complete drama explained as the former gets a restraining order

Rapper and YouTuber Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr. aka DDG, and actress Halle Bailey were battling it out in court. A Los Angeles judge gave Bailey a temporary restraining order on May 13, 2025. Over their three-year relationship, which stretched from 2022 to 2024, Bailey accused DDG of physical, verbal, emotional, and financial abuse.

The restraining order prohibits DDG from carrying weapons and mandates him to remain at least 100 yards away from Bailey and Halo until a hearing is scheduled for June 4, 2025.

Actress Halle Bailey's accusations towards her ex-boyfriend Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr aka DDG

Halle Bailey and Darryl went public with their romance in early 2022. They welcomed their son Halo into the world in December of the same year. Supposedly for undisclosed reasons, they split in October 2024, but Bailey's refusal to discuss the divorce in a December 2024 interview caused the public to first see that something was off.

Though "amicable at first", acquaintances of the couple say Bailey says her interactions with Darryl become increasingly turbulent by early 2025. In early 2022, Halle Bailey and Darryl made their relationship public. In December of the same year, they brought their son Halo into existence.

They parted in October 2024, allegedly for private reasons, but Halle Bailey's failure to address the divorce in a December 2024 interview led the public to first notice anything was wrong. Although "amicable at first," friends of the pair believe Bailey thinks her encounters with Darryl get more chaotic by early 2025.

Court records indicate an incident that happened at Halle Bailey's home during a January 2025 child-visitation transfer. The allegations state that Darryl screamed at Bailey many times, became angry, and then told her to leave his car while she fastened Halo into his seat. After Bailey expressed concern for their son's safety, he allegedly yanked her by the hair and slammed her head into the driving wheel, leaving her with a chipped tooth and major bruise marks on her arms.

Bailey claims Darryl entered her home in March 2025 to check on Halo despite being specifically instructed not to enter without consent. Her story goes: he broke into her bedroom, took a picture of her bed, and texted her suggesting she was dirty. Bailey said these events frightened her and made her doubt the security of both her and her kid.

Apart from physical battles, Bailey recounts a trend of mental and verbal abuse throughout the final months of their relationship. Motivated his supporters to attack her online, Darryl insulted her character on his Twitch and YouTube channels, thus she claims his followers attempted doxxing and put her life at risk. She also claims he questioned her ability to be a good mother. Bailey's story says Darryl continued to emotionally manipulate her and ask for money even after their split.

A judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court granted Bailey a temporary restraining order on May 13, 2025, valid until the June 4, 2025, hearing. The terms of the order call for the accused to:

• Always maintain at least 100 yards between you from Halo and Bailey.
• Not disturb Bailey in any way, either directly or indirectly.
• Hand up every weapon and bullet he has.
• He has to cease publicly commenting on Bailey or their child and join a 52-week batterer intervention program if you want any kind of custody arrangement.

Ignoring these conditions might result in criminal penalties and arrest. The next hearing will be when the court decides whether to extend the restraining order for another five years and whether to establish preliminary custody limits for Halo.

Halle Bailey's choice to sue her ex-partner reveals how serious her claims are and how much she values her and her son Halo's safety. The media will be concentrating mostly on both sides with the topic scheduled for a hearing on June 4, 2025. It is unknown how the court will rule on custody rights vs claims of abuse.
