Hollywood has seen its share of jaw-dropping scandals, but nothing prepared fans for what unraveled this week. Singer and actress Halle Bailey, beloved star of The Little Mermaid, has been swept into a storm of betrayal, harassment, and emotional trauma—and the source is more disturbing than anyone imagined.

According to police reports and viral online footage, Halle Bailey was the target of a wave of disturbing messages traced back to none other than her ex-boyfriend DDG’s own mother. Yes, you read that right. The woman who once referred to Halle as “a daughter” has now been exposed as the architect of an anonymous digital campaign meant to intimidate and manipulate the young mother in a bid to gain access to her son, Halo.

The saga began after a contentious custody battle between Bailey and rapper DDG ended in her being granted full legal custody of their infant son. While the court decision seemed like a private legal victory, what happened next turned it into a national headline.

Shortly after the ruling, Bailey allegedly began receiving dozens of harassing and emotionally charged text messages from various encrypted numbers. Some included veiled threats, others bizarre pleas, and a few crossed into deeply unsettling territory.

“She was being bombarded,” a source close to Bailey told reporters. “Day and night. It was relentless. Some of the messages referenced private details only the family would know. That’s when she knew—it wasn’t just trolls. This was coming from someone close.”

Authorities launched an investigation and, within days, digital forensics traced the origin of the anonymous threats back to multiple devices registered to DDG’s mother. Law enforcement officials confirmed the shocking results in a public briefing that has since gone viral.

Even more shocking? Rather than deny involvement, DDG’s mother posted a tearful online video admitting everything.

“I want to speak directly to you, Halle,” she said, visibly emotional in the now-deleted video. “You are the daughter I never had. I could never truly hurt you. But I was scared. Scared of losing Halo. That fear made me do something I will regret for the rest of my life.”

She then confessed that she orchestrated the harassment campaign alone, claiming DDG had no knowledge of her actions.

“I only wanted to scare you into staying close to us,” she continued. “I didn’t mean to cause real harm. I just didn’t want you to take him away.”

But critics and fans are not convinced by the emotional apology. Social media has erupted in outrage, with many calling the behavior manipulative, toxic, and criminal.

“She didn’t just cross a line—she set it on fire,” one user wrote on Twitter. “This is psychological warfare disguised as ‘love.’”

As news of the confession spread, so did rumors of legal consequences. Sources inside the LAPD confirm that warrants for both DDG and his mother were filed late Tuesday, though no arrests have been made yet. It remains unclear whether DDG will face charges, but speculation continues to swirl over whether he was truly unaware—or simply covering tracks.

DDG himself has remained cryptic on social media, posting a now-deleted tweet that read, “Sometimes silence is louder than screams.”

Meanwhile, Halle Bailey is reportedly “emotionally wrecked but standing strong for her son.” Friends of the star say she’s shocked by the betrayal but determined to protect her child at all costs.

“This isn’t just drama. This is trauma,” a close source revealed. “She trusted these people. She loved them. And now she’s trying to figure out how it all went so wrong.”

As the investigation continues and the court of public opinion rages on, one thing is certain: this family feud has turned into a full-blown scandal with no clear resolution in sight.

Whether forgiveness, justice, or something darker lies ahead, the world is watching—and Halle Bailey is standing in the eye of the storm.
