Halle Bailey/Instagram She has also requested an order to prevent child abduction, saying that DDG has a history of abusing her, taking away or hiding Halo from her, threatening to take away or hide Halo from her, and not cooperating with her in parenting. Bailey asks that a judge order DDG not to move with Halo without her written permission and to turn in or not apply for passports or other important documents for Halo. If he does travel with Halo with her permission, she is asking the judge to order that DDG provide his travel schedule, copies of round-trip airline tickets, addresses and phone numbers where they can be reached, and an open airline ticket for her if Halo is not returned. The actress specified several examples where she has asked DDG to set a visitation schedule with her for Halo, and shared that one particular interaction came to a head in January. Bailey writes that when DDG came to get Halo, she asked him to talk about a schedule and he got visibly upset. Paras Griffin/Getty As she walked with him outside and buckled her son into his car seat, Bailey alleges that DDG was cursing at her and getting more and more upset. "I had left my front door open and was not even fully dressed as I was not even wearing shoes," she says. "Darryl kept repeating 'Get out of my car, BITCH.'" "Halo was crying. I repeatedly pleaded with him to stop calling me a bitch," Bailey continues. "I felt very nervous that he was taking Halo with him and was very agitated; I did not feel safe leaving a baby with him in his state. I also wanted to know when he would bring Halo back. He would not tell me." The argument continued and got physical as the two were "wrestling and tussling." "At one point, Darryl was pulling my hair. He then slammed my face on the steering wheel, causing my tooth to get chipped," Bailey alleges. "I then stopped fighting back as I was in a lot of pain. I wanted to get out of the car with Halo but was now stuck." DDG ended up driving to his house with Bailey in the car, since she wouldn't leave Halo alone. Once they got there, the star claims that she told his family what happened and begged them to set a schedule, but they told her to just leave Halo and go. Halle Bailey/instagram Bailey details several other alleged examples of abuse, ending her statement by saying that she's "done everything possible to avoid going to Court." "I realize that there is no placating Darryl. I cannot allow this abuse any longer. I cannot keep living like this," she says. "I never know when he is going to demand our son to be in his Mother's care and whether I will be subjected to his threats and abuse." Bailey also requested a temporary restraining order against DDG and was granted one by the court on Tuesday, May 13. He is required to remain over 100 yards away from Bailey and Halo at all times, including at Halo's school and Bailey's vehicle. Representatives for Bailey and DDG did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. Bailey and DDG began their relationship in 2022 andultimately split in 2024.
