\n

\n\tHalle Bailey has denied DDG\u2019s claim that her history of threatening self-harm poses a risk to their child\u2019s wellbeing, telling a judge that the rapper is exaggerating about her since-treated mental health struggles and she\u2019s \u201c100% available and capable as a parent to our son.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe arguments come in a custody battle that began last month when Bailey accused DDG (Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.) of physically attacking her multiple times in the presence of their 18-month-old son, Halo. A judge granted the 25-year-old singer and actress a temporary domestic violence restraining order and full custody of Halo pending a court hearing.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat hearing was supposed to happen Wednesday (June 4), but got delayed when DDG filed a competing custody case that highlighted Bailey\u2019s history of threatening self-harm. Bailey is now addressing those claims, saying in a response declaration that the 27-year-old Twitch rapper \u201chas exaggerated, lied and misconstrued for the court, not only the history of our relationship, but our parenting and my mental health.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI have been very vocal about my anxiety, depression and previous thoughts of suicide,\u201d wrote Bailey in the declaration. \u201cWithout waiving the psychotherapist-patient privilege and physician-patient privilege, I have reached out to my doctor and received treatment to address these issues. I have been and remain 100% available and capable as a parent to our son, Halo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBailey notes that the bulk of the mental health incidents cited by DDG date back to 2022 and 2023, when she was \u201cemotionally devastated\u201d by the rapper\u2019s behavior. But Bailey says DDG never raised any concerns about her parenting abilities until the very day her domestic abuse claims were set for a court hearing.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHad Darryl really been concerned about my parenting, he would have taken action prior to this time,\u201d wrote Bailey. \u201cThis is cold retribution to embarrass, humiliate and caused me additional emotional distress.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Wednesday evening, Judge Latrice A.G. Byrdsong partially granted DDG a temporary restraining order that bars Bailey from engaging in any physical or emotional abuse. But the judge is leaving Halo in Bailey\u2019s sole custody until the hearing that\u2019s now scheduled for June 24.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe judge also denied DDG\u2019s request to stop Bailey from bringing Halo with her to Italy, where she\u2019s scheduled to shoot a movie for two months this summer.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe court finds insufficient evidence of imminent emotional and psychological risk to the minor child during petitioner\u2019s business trip to Italy,\u201d wrote the judge. \u201cFurther evidence is required at a noticed hearing for the court to issue more restrictive orders.\u201d<\/p>\n
