Former Disney Star Halle Bailey and Rapper DDG Reach Settlement in Domestic Violence Case, Drop Restraining Orders
In a surprise move, Hollywood star Halle Bailey and rapper Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., aka DDG, have dropped their domestic violence complaints against each other after agreeing to work together "in good faith" for the benefit of their two-year-old son. The former couple had been locked in a contentious legal battle for months, with both seeking restraining orders against the other.
Just days before they were set to appear in court on November 5, Bailey and Granberry agreed to put their differences aside after a mediation session earlier this month. As part of the settlement, each party reserved the right to revive their claims if further incidents of abuse occur. However, the decision to drop the restraining orders will not be seen as prejudicial to either side seeking new orders.
A custody schedule was established in the order, with neither Bailey nor Granberry allowed to post on social media about their child, and also requested that family members and friends follow this order. Lawyers for both parties declined to comment further on the matter.
The dispute between Bailey and Granberry began back in May when Bailey filed her restraining order request, alleging Granberry was physically, emotionally, verbally, and financially abusive. She outlined several instances of alleged abuse, including a violent confrontation where Granberry allegedly screamed at her, pulled her hair, slammed her face against the steering wheel, and chipped her tooth.
Granberry responded with a counter-petition one month later, denying any wrongdoing and accusing Bailey of physical altercations, emotional manipulation, and blocking access to their child. However, after weeks of heated legal battles, both parties have chosen to prioritize their son's well-being over the dispute.

 . Abusers often try to keep a low profile when they're not around the kid, you feel? But seriously, it's good to see them put aside their differences for the sake of their son. I do wish they'd prioritize his emotional well-being too, though - all this drama can't be great for a two-year-old

I mean, I get it, their kid is the priority, but isn't that just kinda weird? Like, how can you just drop all these allegations and move forward without any real accountability? I guess when it comes to co-parenting, some things are more important than being right

 . I think what's good here is that Halle & DDG decided to put aside their differences for the sake of their kid, even though it means they're still under some restrictions . It shows you can't control who's going through hell, but maybe with therapy & support, things could get better.
