Halle Bailey granted sole custody of son after accusing ex DDG of physical abuse
Page Six obtained official court documents, revealing that Halle Bailey received her son’s sole legal and physical custody after accusing her ex, DDG, of physical abuse. She filed a request with the Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday, seeking protection from the rapper and the custody of 2-year-old Halo. The court granted Bailey temporary sole custody of the boy and a temporary restraining order against the father of her son until a June 4 court hearing.
In her petition, the “Little Mermaid” actor accused DDG of domestic abuse, claiming it started in January as he visited their son. The alleged assault happened inside his vehicle in front of Halo when she brought up a discussion about a visitation schedule. As per Bailey’s filing, which she backed with photo evidence, the musician became visibly upset and attacked her verbally and physically. Other instances included him entering her home without permission and trying to take their son without her consent while the boy was sick.
Besides granting Halle Bailey legal and physical custody of her son, the court ordered her ex, DDG, to maintain a 100-yard distance from them. The temporary restraining order also implies staying away from Bailey’s vehicle and Halo’s school. The former couple welcomed their son in December 2023 and announced their split on Instagram last October. They had since maintained a co-parenting relationship until the recent revelations.
A court hearing concerning the matter will take place on June 4.
