Judge Orders Halle Bailey & DDG to Keep Son Offline

In the midst of their ongoing custody battle, singer Halle Bailey and rapper DDG have been issued a court order prohibiting them from posting any content related to their 19-month-old son, Halo, on social media or the internet. This decision aims to protect the child’s privacy during a contentious period for the former couple.

Protecting Halo’s Privacy

The court order, filed by the family division of the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, mandates that neither Bailey nor DDG can share “photographs, images and/or information regarding the minor child” online. Furthermore, they are prohibited from allowing anyone in their immediate circles to post such content. This ruling comes after a summer marked by conflict between the two parents.

The court also addressed visitation arrangements, establishing a monitored schedule for DDG to spend time with Halo. These visits are contingent on “peaceful contact” with Bailey and will occur every Wednesday and Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm, and every other Sunday during the same hours. A professional monitor will oversee these interactions, with a primary focus on ensuring compliance with the social media posting restrictions.

A Contentious Custody Battle

This latest ruling follows a series of disputes between Bailey and DDG. In June, DDG requested an emergency hearing to prevent Bailey from taking Halo to Italy during her film shoot, accusing her of domestic abuse and posing an “imminent emotional and psychological risk to the minor child” due to postpartum depression. However, the judge denied his request, allowing Halo to travel.

Bailey had previously sought and was granted a restraining order against DDG in May, presenting evidence of alleged physical abuse. She also claimed that DDG frequently spreads false information to his millions of fans, inciting online harassment against her. Bailey stated in her declaration that DDG falsely alleges she is withholding their son and is involved with other men, leading to threats and hate directed at her online. She asserted that his claims are untrue and that he refuses a set visitation schedule she proposed.

While fans will miss seeing Halo’s adorable moments online, this court-ordered pause on social media sharing is seen as a potentially positive step towards more stable co-parenting for Bailey and DDG.
