Actress accuses ex DDG of abuse

Halle Bailey is taking legal action against her former boyfriend and co-parent DDG, just seven months after the couple revealed their split.

Bailey, 25, accused the rapper born Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr. of physical, emotional, verbal and financial abuse in a restraining order request filed May 13 in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, according to court documents obtained by USA TODAY. Bailey and DDG share 1-year-old son, Halo.

The actress and singer, who revealed in the filing that she and DDG broke up due to his “temper and lack of respect towards me,” also claims her ex-boyfriend has made a habit of “badmouthing” her as a parent on social media (in addition to his rap career, DDG is a professional YouTuber and Twitch blogger.) Bailey says this behavior has resulted in online threats and “hate” directed toward her.

“I realize that there is no placating Darryl,” Bailey said in a statement attached to the filing. “I cannot allow this abuse any longer. I cannot keep living like this. I never know when he is going to demand our son be in his mother’s care and whether I will be subjected to his threats and abuse.”

USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Bailey and DDG for comment.

As a result of DDG’s alleged abuse, Bailey is demanding no-contact and stay-away orders for herself and Halo that would prevent DDG from getting in touch with the mother-son pair, in addition to requiring the rapper to remain 100 yards away from them and to stop posting about Bailey and Halo on social media.

“The Little Mermaid” star also requests full legal and physical custody of Halo. Bailey asked the court to allow her to travel with her son to Italy in June, where she is set to film a movie.

Bailey and DDG went public with their relationship in March 2022 when the “I’m Geekin” rapper shared a romantic tribute for Bailey’s 22^nd birthday on Instagram, per People magazine. The Chloe x Halle singer later revealed in an August 2022 interview with Essence that the two met through social media after DDG messaged her online.

‘The best path forward for both of us’: Halle Bailey and DDG announce split

Halle Bailey alleges DDG ‘slammed’ her face on steering wheel in front of son

Bailey alleges DDG has physically abused her on various occasions, even in the presence of their son.

During an incident in January, the Grammy-nominated singer claims an argument erupted between the former couple at her Los Angeles home after she asked DDG when he would bring Halo back, according to Bailey’s restraining order request. Bailey said the conflict escalated after DDG refused to answer her question and became visibly “agitated” as she was placing the baby in DDG’s car seat.

Bailey said she and DDG then began wrestling, with the rapper allegedly pulling her hair at one point and then slamming her face into the vehicle’s steering wheel. As a result of the altercation, Bailey claims she sustained multiple bruises on her arms and a chipped tooth. Close-up images of the alleged injuries are included in court documents.

The “Grown-ish” alum also claims DDG’s “last-minute demands” to visit Halo have sparked disputes. In March, Bailey said DDG came over to her home to see Halo, despite Bailey’s previous warning that she and the baby were ill with RSV. When she told the rapper she did not want the baby to leave the house, DDG reportedly “raised his voice and became verbally abusive toward me,” later smashing her home security camera after he noticed it was recording.

Bailey added that she filed a police report against DDG following the incident after the rapper allegedly took her phone and threw it out of his car window.

In another alleged incident earlier that month, Bailey said DDG entered her home when she was not present, went into her bedroom and took photos of her empty bed. The actress alleges she received the photo via text message along with the message, “now I know what u been on lol,” which Bailey said she interpreted as an insinuation that she was “having sex with other men.”

Halle Bailey accuses DDG of targeting her on social media

Bailey is claiming DDG weaponizes his online fanbase of “several millions” to criticize her motherhood.

Per court documents, Bailey said DDG has accused her of preventing him from seeing their son, as well as having relationships with other men. The actress added that while she has attempted to set up a visitation schedule with DDG, the rapper allegedly refuses to establish an agreement.

“He seems to try to set up drama for his fans. He goes ‘live’ ranting about me and alleges that I am keeping Halo from him,” Bailey said in the filing. “This is not child-centered. I have asked him to stop this behavior. He continues. He gets paid for hits and this creates hits for him.”

Bailey said the “fan frenzy” generated by DDG’s frequent posts has led to intense public scrutiny of her family life, including the circulation of the hashtag #freehalo.

“This has caused me to feel afraid and victimized,” Bailey said. “His fans then threaten me. I am often scared for my life and Halo’s safety.”

A hearing in Bailey’s case against DDG is scheduled for June 4.

Morris, the alligator from ‘Happy Gilmore,’ dies at over 80

A Hollywood veteran best known for his role in the 1996 comedy “Happy Gilmore” died Sunday, May 11, nearly 30 years after the film’s release.

The Colorado Gators Reptile Park, an exotic animal sanctuary, confirmed the news of the retired movie star’s death on Facebook, writing that they were “sad to report the passing away of our oldest alligator, Morris.”

Morris appeared in a variety of other films and television shows from 1975 to 2006, including “Dr. Dolittle 2,” “Interview with the Vampire,” “Eraser,” “Night Court” and “Blues Brothers 2000,” before retiring to the reptile park. He also made a cameo appearance with Steve Irwin on “The Tonight Show Starring Jay Leno.”

“While we knew this was inevitable, we are very saddened by his passing to old age,” the sanctuary wrote in a May 11 Facebook post. “RIP Morris.”

Colorado Gators is sad to report the passing away of our oldest alligator, Morris. Morris was known for his work in many movies and TV shows from 1975 to 2006, when he retired to live out his days at Colorado Gators. His exact age was unknown, but he was 9 feet long in 1975 and by his growth rate and tooth loss, we can estimate his age at over 80 years. While we knew this was inevitable, we are very saddened by his passing to old age. RIP Morris

Posted by Colorado Gator Farm on Sunday, May 11, 2025

Jay Young, who runs the Colorado Gator Farm, told USA TODAY that he noticed something was wrong when he brought him food and he didn’t eat it.

“I thought, ‘Well, maybe, he’s just not hungry. He ate too much the other day,’” Young said. “Two weeks ago, he was trying to eat dogs and kids through the fence. He was fine a couple weeks ago.”

Young stepped into his closure to check on him and when Morris didn’t attack him, which was not like him at all, he attempted to force-feed him. But Morris swam toward the other side of the pond and spit it up.

“A lot of the times, it’s like, ‘Oh, we could have done this differently or sooner.’ In this case, I don’t think there’s anything we could have done differently,” Young said. “It’s said, but it’s not as tragic.”

The Colorado Gator Farm revealed May 12 that Morris would be taxidermied “so that he can continue to scare children for years to come.”

From humble beginnings to Hollywood: Who was Morris the alligator?

Before Morris made it big in Hollywood, he was kept as an illegal pet.

Fortunately for Morris, he was eventually placed in the care of animal wrangler Jim Brockett, who supplied animals for films and TV shows. That’s how Morris began his illustrious career in show business.

“Brocketts Film Fauna had him from 1975 to 2006,” Young said. “He was nine feet long when they got him in 1975. They didn’t know his exact age, maybe 20 to 50 years, but he worked in the film industry for 31 years.”

Brockett reached out to Young in 2005, asking if he was able to care for “this big alligator” he couldn’t handle anymore.

Morris lived with Young for almost 19 years in his own habit, perfect for feeding, lounging and spending time with ex-girlfriends Paris and Britney, or at least until they moved out.

Young estimates that Morris, based on his growth rate and tooth loss, must have been over 80 years old when he died.

Music moguls’ feud resurfaces during trial

Marion “Suge” Knight, the one-time music mogul and hip-hop executive who feuded with Sean “Diddy” Combs in the ’90s, is back in the spotlight amid Combs’ federal sex-crimes trial.

The Death Row Records co-founder, whose California-based label was at odds with Combs’ Bad Boy Records during the East Coast-West Coast hip-hop rivalry, was brought up during testimony at Combs’ criminal trial in Manhattan court on May 13.

Combs is facing charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution following his arrest in September 2024.

Combs’ ex-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura Fine, referenced the music moguls’ longstanding feud as she took the witness stand and spoke about weapons allegedly stored in Combs’ homes, among the rapper’s other alleged abuses.

Ventura Fine testified that Combs left his house amid one “freak off” in Los Angeles after being tipped off by a bodyguard that Knight was at a diner nearby. “Freak offs” are a type of party featuring sexual performances that federal prosecutors have accused Combs of orchestrating as part of an alleged criminal enterprise.

At the time of Combs’ departure, Ventura Fine said she told Combs, “Please don’t do anything stupid” as she screamed and cried in fear.

Knight has also faced his fair share of legal woes over the years, including multiple stints in prison and jail. The former record executive, who was arrested in 2015 on suspicion of murder in a hit-and-run incident that killed businessman Terry Carter, reportedly agreed to a $1.5 million settlement in the wrongful death case on April 29, according to Rolling Stone.

Knight has been serving a 28-year prison sentence after pleading no contest to voluntary manslaughter.

Why did Suge Knight and Diddy feud?

As the heads of two of hip-hop’s top record labels in the 1990s, Knight and Combs became embroiled in the genre’s infamous East Coast-West Coast feud, which was epitomized by the rivalry between rappers Tupac “2Pac” Shakur and Christopher “The Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace.

The New York-born Shakur represented the West Coast after he signed with the Los Angeles-based Death Row Records. He often traded verbal jabs with New York natives Wallace and Combs, who hailed from the East Coast and represented New York City-based Bad Boy Records.

Knight appeared to call out Combs while attending the Source Awards in August 1995, making critical remarks about a music producer who makes frequent appearances in his artists’ songs and music videos, which Combs was known to do.

“Anyone out there who wanna be a recording artist and wanna stay a star and don’t have to worry about the executive producer trying to be all in the videos, all on the records, dancing, come to Death Row,” Knight reportedly said at the time.

Shakur and Wallace were both killed in drive-by shootings six months apart in September 1996 and March 1997, respectively. Knight drove the Black BMW that Shakur was traveling in at the time of the shooting. Knight was grazed by a bullet fragment or shrapnel from the car, while Shakur was shot four times, at least twice in the chest.

Two years prior to Shakur’s death, the rapper was wounded in a shooting during a robbery in the lobby of a midtown Manhattan hotel in November 1994. He was shot several times and lost $40,000.

Shakur openly accused Wallace and Combs of having prior knowledge of the shooting, which both vehemently denied.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar writes about protests, meeting MLK at 17

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was working to change the world long before the 7-foot-2-inch center became one of the greatest NBA players ever, and one of the most politically outspoken.

In his 20th book, “We All Want to Change the World: My Journey Through Social Justice Movements from the 1960s to Today” ($30, out now from Crown) the prolific author and one-time Time magazine columnist looks back at America’s protests movements – from free speech and civil rights to the national protests following the murder of George Floyd.

At age 78, the NBA Hall of Famer has seen them all, often first hand.

His personal journey effectively starts in the turbulent summer of 1964 when, as a 17-year-old high school senior, he participated in a journalism program sponsored by Harlem Youth Opportunities Unlimited (HARYOU). When Martin Luther King, Jr. announced a Harlem press conference in June, the son of a jazz-loving transit cop threw up his hand to cover the inspirational leader.

Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor Jr. (Abdul-Jabbar changed his name in 1971 after converting to Islam) felt out of place among the professional reporters, “the serious men in serious suits.”

“I showed my press credentials to the burly men at the door and wandered in, afraid that at any minute, someone would grab me by the arm and drag me out, shouting, ‘Who’s this punk kid pretending to be a journalist?’” Abdul-Jabbar writes. “I was at least a foot taller than everybody else in that room, so I would be easy to find.”

Abdul-Jabbar posted a throwback photo of the meeting on his Instagram page for Martin Luther King Day. He has never forgotten King’s eloquent response to his standard press conference question, even though he was fully “focused on not passing out” as his smiling hero directed his answer to him.

Abdul-Jabbar cites the encounter as the start of his civil rights activism, leaving the meeting with “a renewed allegiance to Dr. King’s optimism about humanity’s innate goodness,” he writes.

That feeling did not last long. In July, he made a spontaneous decision to cover a Harlem rally protesting the shooting death of a fifteen-year-old African American, James Powell, by a white off-duty police officer. When the student journalist emerged from the subway, “the city was already in chaos.”

“I’d never experienced a riot before, and I was terrified,” Abdul-Jabbar writes. “I did what I did best: I ran as fast as I could away from the danger. Spurring me on was the knowledge that I was a pretty big target and that I didn’t know whether a bullet hitting me would come from a rioter or a cop.”

The Harlem riot of 1964, a part of which he witnessed, left him filled with rage and confusion over the effectiveness of King’s message.

Abdul-Jabbar has never stopped searching for answers or using his superstar status to protest injustice. As a rising star at UCLA in 1967, he was personally invited by NFL Browns football star Jim Brown to participate in the Cleveland Summit. Brown gathered prominent African-American voices, primarily star athletes, to discuss and ultimately support heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali’s refusal, a month earlier, to enter the Vietnam War draft.

The press conference photo shows him at the table with his personal hero, Boston Celtics legend Bill Russell, Ali and Brown. Even as one of the serious men wearing a serious suit, Abdul-Jabbar, the youngest invitee, writes that he “never felt more out of my depth.”

“But I had been picked to join the team, and there was no way I would give it less than my all,” he writes.

Abdul-Jabbar has never stopped giving his best or believing in the importance of protests. For the critics, he often cites the national roots of dissent, starting with the 1773 Boston Tea Party, which is “celebrated in schoolroom textbooks as a political protest that helped establish the United States.”

The author still wonders if his work, or his new book, will make a noticeable difference in the arc of history.

“Whether it does or doesn’t isn’t the question. Rather, the question we all face is ‘Have I at least tried to make this country a better, more humane, more compassionate, freer place?’” Abdul-Jabbar writes. “I think I have.”

Misa Hylton attends Diddy trial

As opening statements for Sean “Diddy” Combs’ criminal trial kicked off, an unexpected guest showed up: his ex-partner Misa Hylton.

The fashion designer has attended both days of this week’s proceeding, entering with a walker amid a hectic scene outside the Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse in Manhattan. On May 12, she walked into the courthouse alongside her and Combs’ 31-year-old son Justin Combs.

In a statement to USA TODAY on May 13, Hylton’s lawyer Nicholas Ramcharitar addressed her attendance at the trial.

“Misa’s appearance and her attendance at Mr. Combs’ trial is strictly in support of her son Justin and his siblings,” Ramcharitar’s statement read. “During the course of these allegations against Mr. Combs, it has proven to be a very challenging and difficult time for all involved especially his children.”

He added that Hylton was temporarily using a walker because she sustained a “personal injury and is recovering.”

Combs has denied all allegations of wrongdoing and plead not guilty in his trial, where he faces charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.

In her Instagram stories on May 12, Hylton posted a photo of herself with a knee-high protective boot on her right leg.

On the day of opening statements, Hylton did not address her attendance but among the Instagram graphics she re-shared was one that read, “The final stage of healing is using what happened to you to help other people.”

Misa Hylton previously spoke out in support of Cassie

Last year, after a video surfaced showing Combs physically abusing another ex-girlfriend and star witness Casandra “Cassie” Ventura Fine at a luxury hotel in Los Angeles, Hylton took to Instagram to speak out about the video of the “Me & U” singer.

The footage showed Combs hitting, dragging and kicking Ventura Fine, who testified about the experience on May 13. In her now-deleted Instagram post last year, Hylton addressed the incident alongside photos of Diddy’s seven children.

“I am heartbroken that Cassie must relive the horror of her abuse, and my heart goes out to her. I know exactly how she feels, and through my empathy, it has triggered my own trauma,” Hylton wrote.

“These young people were raised by women that want the best for them – we put God and education first and have always been united in our mutual effort to support their dreams. Two of the youngest do not have their mother here and it has been our duty to support them,” Hylton wrote in her Instagram caption.

As Cassie shares graphic abuse details in Diddy trial, are we all asking the wrong question?

In her Instagram post, Hylton said that “their father needs help and I am praying that he truly does the personal work and receives it.”

In addition to his son with Hylton, Diddy has six other children. He adopted Quincy Brown, 33, the son of Kimberly “Kim” Porter. The model and Diddy’s former girlfriend died in 2018 of pneumonia.

Diddy and Porter also had three other children together: son Christian Combs, 27, and twin daughters D’Lila and Jessie Combs, 17. He also shares 18-year-old Chance Combs with businesswoman Sarah Chapman. His seventh and youngest child, daughter Love Sean Combs, was born in October 2022 with model Dana Tran.

‘Sinners’ IMAX 70mm showings return this week: See list of theaters
Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” is back in IMAX 70mm for one week only due to “popular demand.”
“Welcome back to Club Juke,” IMAX announced May 1. “Starting May 15, #SinnersMovie returns to IMAX 70mm locations.”

Coogler’s period action horror film starring Michael B. Jordan was shot with IMAX film cameras, which are known for their high resolution. The display helps create a unique moviegoing experience, but there’s a catch: only a select number of movie theaters across the country have the ability to show the film in IMAX 70 mm.

Coogler said he “fell in love” with the format while in film school, but it was a Warner Bros. executive, Jesse Ehrman, who nudged him on using large IMAX film for “Sinners,” The Associated Press reported.

“In this day and age with folks having so much access to streaming and watching so many things on their phones, it’s nice to have a format like IMAX that can be an experience you can only experience in the theaters,” Coogler said in an interview with the AP.

“Sinners,” a movie about twin brothers who return to a small Mississippi town and open up a juke joint that becomes infested with vampires, has been a box office hit since it was released April 18, grossing more than $200 million in North America, according to Variety and Deadline.

What’s so special about 70mm film?

Films in 70mm have greater detail, color and depth than most other modern movies, the U.K. Science and Media Museum wrote during the release of Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” which was also displayed in 70 mm screenings.

“70mm is a must-see experience for film fans,” the museum wrote at the time. “It’s the quality that digital has been working towards.”

Nolan even received a credit in “Sinners” for giving Coogler some insight on shooting the film with large-format photography, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Emma Thomas, Nolan’s wife and producing partner, also assisted Coogler during filming, the outlet reported.

Where to watch Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners’ in IMAX 70mm

Here’s a list of theaters showing “Sinners” in 70mm, according to IMAX:

AMC Lincoln Square 13 & IMAX in New York, New York

Universal Cinema AMC at Citywalk Hollywood & IMAX in Los Angeles, California

Regal Irvine Spectrum & IMAX in Irvine, California

AMC Metreon 16 & IMAX in San Francisco, California

IMAX, Indiana State Museum in Indianapolis, Indiana

Harkins Arizona Mills 18 & IMAX in Tempe, Arizona

Autonation IMAX, Museum of Discovery & Science in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Cinemark Dallas & IMAX in Dallas, Texas

‘SNL’ star Sarah Sherman on Aimee Lou Wood ‘White Lotus’ sketch

“Saturday Night Live” star Sarah Sherman is breaking her silence about her controversial impression of Aimee Lou Wood.

The comedian, 32, told Vanity Fair she feels badly that the “White Lotus” actress was offended by a recent “SNL” sketch that made fun of her teeth.

“I was excited to play her because she’s so iconic, her character is so iconic,” Sherman said, adding that she “obviously never meant to hurt anyone’s feelings.” She continued, “Never in a million years did I get into comedy to make anyone upset. I feel terrible that anyone would feel bad.”

In April, Sherman played Wood’s “White Lotus” character, Chelsea, in an “SNL” parody of the HBO show that slotted President Donald Trump and his allies into the lead roles. Jon Hamm portrayed Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who said he wanted to remove fluoride from drinking water and asked, “What would that do to people’s teeth?” The sketch then cut to Sherman, who wore fake teeth and spoke in an exaggerated accent to portray Wood’s “White Lotus” character.

Aimee Lou Wood slams ‘SNL’ for ‘mean and unfunny’ parody of ‘The White Lotus’

After the episode aired, Wood, 31, slammed the sketch as “mean and unfunny” and wrote on Instagram, “I have big gap teeth not bad teeth. I don’t mind caricature – I understand that’s what ‘SNL’ is. But the rest of the skit was punching up and I/Chelsea was the only one punched down on.”

Wood also criticized the accent that Sherman used. “At least get the accent right seriously. I respect accuracy even if it’s mean,” she said on Instagram. But Wood clarified she was “not hating on” Sherman and instead “hating on the concept” of the sketch.

The “Sex Education” actress later revealed that Sherman sent her a bouquet of “beautiful flowers.” Wood also said she received “apologies from ‘SNL,’” without providing details.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight on May 5, Wood said she decided to speak out about the sketch and “just have it be said, and then I won’t spiral inwardly and feel terrible about myself,” though she was surprised at how much attention her comments received.

“It all got quite out of control,” Wood told ET.

Weeks after the sketch aired, Wood’s “White Lotus” co-star Walton Goggins hosted “SNL” on May 10. His episode did not address the controversy.

50% off tickets on Wednesdays this summer

‘It is envisioned that if successful, this new AMC pricing initiative will be almost universally available at all AMC Theatres in the United States going forward,’ the movie theater chain said.

AMC moviegoers will be able to cash in on a major discount at the theaters every Wednesday starting this summer.

The theater chain announced on May 12 that it will be offering 50% off movie tickets every Wednesday starting July 9 for members of AMC Stubs, the company’s loyalty program for customers.

AMC Stubs is free to join and offers existing rewards and discounts, including reduced rates on Tuesdays.

As part of the new 50% off Wednesdays promotion, AMC Stubs members will get half off the base price for adult-evening tickets all day long. The deal will be available at all AMC locations around the country.

AMC Chairman and CEO Adam Aron said in a statement that the company “could not afford to have made this change to our ticket pricing strategy until the box office showed true signs of sustained recovery.”

“But in April and now in May, the box office has been booming, and the remainder of 2025 appears poised to continue that upward box office trend,” Aron added.

Box office revenue dipped sharply during the COVID-19 pandemic but started to bounce back in 2023 and 2024, according to Statista.

How does AMC 50% off Wednesdays work?

The half-off discount will begin on Wednesday, July 9, and continue every Wednesday after that, AMC said.

The company has not announced an end date for the program, so it’s possible the deal could extend beyond the summer months.

In order to be eligible for the discount, moviegoers have to be AMC Stubs members. The base AMC Stubs program is free to join, though other tiers offer paid subscription plans.

Customers can sign up for AMC Stubs online.

Which movies are eligible for AMC’s 50% off Wednesdays?

AMC Stubs members can get 50% off the adult-evening base ticket price, a deal available all day on Wednesdays at every location around the country.

Premium format movies such as IMAX at AMC, Dolby Cinema at AMC, PRIME at AMC and RealD 3D will be eligible for the base ticket price discount, though there may be additional charges.

Certain movies and holiday time periods may also be excluded from the promotion, though AMC is pushing to make it widely accessible, the company said.

“It is envisioned that if successful, this new AMC pricing initiative will be almost universally available at all AMC Theatres in the United States going forward,” the company said in a news release.
