Halle Bailey’s Shocking Spiral: Erratic Behavior and Alarming Allegations Rock Her Custody Battle with DDG

The once-enchanting fairy tale of Halle Bailey and DDG has taken a dark and twisted turn, as the rapper has filed an emergency court order to stop the Little Mermaid star from whisking their infant son, Halo, off to Italy. In a bombshell filing, DDG paints a chilling picture of Bailey as a deeply troubled woman whose erratic and dangerous behavior poses a grave risk to their child—and herself. The allegations are as explosive as they are unsettling, leaving fans reeling over the unraveling of this Hollywood couple.

The court documents, obtained by Kurrco on X, reveal a laundry list of disturbing claims that read like a script from a psychological thriller. DDG accuses Bailey of threatening self-harm and sending alarming texts that hint at harm to both herself and their 18-month-old son, Halo. One message, shown in a screenshot, allegedly reads, “IM GOONG TO KILL MYSWLF TONIGHT,” a desperate cry that DDG claims was part of a pattern of emotional manipulation. Another text reportedly states, “YOU HAVE RUINED ME AND ALL MY HAPPINESS,” showcasing what DDG describes as Bailey’s unhinged attempts to control him during their tumultuous breakup.

The accusations don’t stop there. DDG alleges that Bailey once took his legally owned firearm during a heated argument while pregnant, vanishing from their home without explanation. He claims he later found her outside, clutching the weapon in a moment of emotional crisis—a scene that could have ended in tragedy. The rapper also accuses Bailey of secretly plotting to abort their child during her pregnancy, only to backtrack and use the threat as leverage to force a reconciliation. “She was willing to do anything to keep me,” DDG reportedly told the court, painting Bailey as a woman teetering on the edge of sanity.

Perhaps most bizarrely, DDG claims Bailey turned into a real-life stalker, planting Apple AirTags in his cars, a vitamin bottle, their baby’s diaper bag, and even a box in his home to track his every move. This obsessive behavior allegedly culminated in Bailey showing up uninvited to a theater, where she reportedly tried to fight a woman DDG was with—a jealous outburst that left onlookers stunned. The filing also details a physical altercation where Bailey allegedly assaulted DDG, leaving a cut on his hand, only to later claim she was the victim after accidentally injuring herself in the scuffle. DDG’s attorney, Larry Bakman, didn’t hold back, stating, “A parent who has threatened suicide repeatedly—who has armed herself with a firearm while in emotional crisis—cannot be entrusted to care for a vulnerable infant abroad.”

The backdrop of this messy legal battle is a stark contrast to the glamorous image of the couple once shared with the world. A photo from the 2022 premiere of Avatar: The Way of Water, where the couple posed together against a backdrop of towering “AV” letters, shows Bailey in a shimmering gold gown and DDG in a sharp black tuxedo—a picture of Hollywood perfection. But beneath the red-carpet smiles, trouble was brewing, and now their bitter feud has spilled into the public eye with a vengeance.

Fans on X are divided, with some expressing shock at Bailey’s alleged behavior. “She did WHAT?” user @zuperiorrrr posted, alongside a meme of a stunned reaction. Others, like @kurvykary, took a more biting tone: “Lmao little mermaid is unhinged as fuck but that should’ve been obvious from the space between her eyes.” Meanwhile, @bloodlinerosa expressed sympathy for Bailey, citing the emotional toll of DDG’s alleged infidelity: “Halle saying he ruined her and her happiness made me shed a tear for her…. DDG is evil!”

The legal drama comes on the heels of Bailey’s own accusations against DDG. Last month, the 25-year-old singer secured a temporary restraining order against the rapper, alleging physical and emotional abuse during their relationship. She was granted sole custody of Halo in May 2025, but DDG’s latest filing seeks to reverse that decision, requesting sole legal and physical custody—or at the very least, third-party custodial exchanges to keep interactions with Bailey at a safe distance.

As Bailey prepares to jet off to Italy for a two-month film shoot, DDG’s emergency motion claims she’s too unstable to care for their son outside the jurisdiction of California courts. He cites an incident where Bailey allegedly drove with Halo in the car while in a “potentially suicidal state,” a reckless act that has left him fearing for his child’s safety. “Halle isn’t mentally healthy enough to care for herself, let alone our child,” DDG stated in the filing, a damning accusation that has sparked heated debate online.

This isn’t the first time the couple’s drama has made headlines. Since their October 2024 breakup—after welcoming Halo in December 2023—both have traded barbs and accusations. Bailey’s camp has pushed back, with her attorney, Terry Levich Ross, calling DDG’s counterclaims “not accurate” during a recent hearing in Los Angeles. But with text messages, injury photos, and witness statements submitted as evidence, the court of public opinion is buzzing with speculation: Is Halle Bailey the victim of a manipulative ex, or a star spiraling out of control?

As this custody battle heats up, one thing is clear: the fairy tale is over, and what’s left is a chaotic mess of allegations, heartbreak, and a child caught in the crossfire. Will Bailey’s problematic behavior cost her custody of Halo, or will DDG’s own controversial past tip the scales against him? Stay tuned—this Hollywood drama is far from its final act.
