American singer and actress, Halle Bailey recently stepped back from social media following a public exchange with her ex-boyfriend, DDG, over their son, Halo, being featured without her consent on a popular livestream.
The incident occurred when DDG brought Halo on camera during a Twitch session with streamer Kai Cenat, whose marathon “Mafiathon” stream attracts millions of viewers.
Bailey, who was out of town, expressed her disapproval on social media, emphasizing her discomfort with Halo’s exposure to such a vast audience without her agreement. Her response highlighted her protective instincts as a mother, especially while managing the emotional demands of postpartum life.
The situation quickly divided public opinion. Many followers sided with Bailey, sympathizing with her desire for control over her son’s privacy, especially as both she and Halo have been under public scrutiny since his birth.
Others, however, felt Bailey’s frustrations should have been handled away from social media to avoid public drama.
Ultimately, Bailey’s decision to deactivate her social accounts shines a light on the intense scrutiny public figures face when navigating personal matters, especially those related to co-parenting and privacy concerns in the digital age
