In a troubling turn of events, Halle Bailey, renowned for her role in Disney's live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, has been granted a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend DDG, also known as Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr. The actress and mother claims that Granberry's behavior has caused her and their one-year-old son significant distress and fear for their safety. A Los Angeles judge ruled that Granberry must remain at least a certain distance away from Bailey and their child until a subsequent hearing scheduled for June 6.

Halle Bailey Secures Restraining Order Against Ex-Boyfriend DDG Amid Allegations of Abuse
Actress and singer Halle Bailey has taken legal action against her former partner, rapper DDG, citing repeated instances of abuse.
Bailey, 25, has accused Granberry, 27, of a pattern of physical, emotional, and verbal abuse throughout their relationship, which began in 2022 and ended last year. In court documents, she describes numerous incidents of aggression, including one instance in January where a supposed argument escalated to physical violence while they were getting their child ready in a car. Bailey stated, “At one point, Darryl was pulling my hair. He then slammed my face on the steering wheel, causing my tooth to get chipped.”
The situation allegedly escalated further when Granberry entered her home uninvited and sent her a text with a threatening implication regarding her fidelity. Following that incident, Bailey claims that Granberry berated her over their child’s care and damaged her property in an attempt to intimidate her. She has filed a police report documenting these confrontations.
The restraining order mandates that Granberry must not possess any weapons and prohibits him from using social media to make disparaging remarks about Bailey, which she argues has incited further harassment from followers.
As an accomplished musician, Bailey has garnered significant recognition as part of the duo Chloe x Halle and has received multiple Grammy nominations. Her performance in The Little Mermaid marks a pivotal moment in her acting career, while DDG gained fame as a YouTube creator and has released several albums since 2018.
The upcoming hearing could see the restraining order extended for a maximum of five years, a measure Bailey hopes will safeguard her and her son from further abuse.
