A Los Angeles judge has ordered Halle Bailey and rapper DDG, to refrain from posting any images or information about their 19-month-old son, Halo, on social media.
The decision comes amid ongoing legal battles between the former couple.
HALLE BAILEY AND DDG REPRIMANDED
The court documents reveal that neither parent nor any third party is allowed to share photographs, videos, or details of Halo online. This move aims to protect the toddler’s privacy and well-being.
The judge emphasised: “Both parties must refrain from posting, uploading, or disseminating on the internet or social media any material regarding the minor child.”
An updated visitation arrangement has also been put in place, according to People.
DDG’S SUPERVISED VISITS
The court now permits DDG to have supervised visits every Wednesday, Saturday, and every other Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
A professional monitor will oversee these visits to ensure compliance with the social media restriction and other court orders.
The judge noted that the monitor ensures everyone follows all rules regarding social media posting and information dissemination.
This legal development follows a turbulent few months between Bailey, 25, and DDG, 27.
TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
In May, Bailey obtained a temporary restraining order against DDG after accusing him of verbal and physical abuse.
She detailed incidents of him calling her derogatory names in front of their son. He also allegedly publicly disparaged her to his millions of fans online.
Bailey stated in court papers, “I cannot allow this abuse any longer” and added that DDG’s actions caused her to receive threats and hate on social media.
CHILD SAFETY
In June, DDG requested the court to prevent Bailey from travelling abroad with Halo, citing concerns about the child’s safety overseas. The judge denied this request, allowing Bailey to maintain custody.
This case highlights the complex challenges of co-parenting amid public scrutiny and legal disputes.
It also sheds light on the importance of protecting children from social media exposure. This is a relevant concern for South African families increasingly active online.
