As of June 5, 2025, the legal tug-of-war has grown increasingly complex, touching on issues of domestic violence, mental health, and international travel. Here’s a breakdown of where things stand in this unfolding case.

Restraining Orders & Emergency Custody Moves

Back in May, Bailey was granted a temporary restraining order against DDG, citing physical, verbal, emotional, and financial abuse throughout their relationship. Along with that, she secured temporary sole legal and physical custody of their son.

But the legal tables turned on June 4, when DDG filed his own restraining order—this time claiming Bailey is the one posing emotional and psychological risks to Halo. According to court filings, DDG accused Bailey of making repeated threats of self-harm and exhibiting erratic behavior. He also sought to block her from taking Halo to Italy, arguing that international travel would be unsafe under the circumstances.

That request was denied by the court on June 5. Bailey, as of now, is legally permitted to proceed with her travel plans.

Allegations on Both Sides

The custody battle has transitioned into a cascade of mutual claims that paint a deeply troubled picture of the couple’s past.

DDG’s Side:

• Alleged threats of self-harm from Bailey.
  
  

• Claims she once took his firearm during a confrontation and was later found outside in a distressed state.
  
  

Bailey’s Side:

• Allegations that DDG physically assaulted her, including a violent incident in which he allegedly slammed her face into a steering wheel, chipping her tooth.
  
  

• She is requesting that his visits with Halo be supervised and that he be barred from taking their son outside Los Angeles County.
