The internet has had a front-row seat to the rollercoaster relationship of Halle Bailey and DDG; from their public breakup to shady social media posts to their high-stakes custody battle over son Halo. A key pillar of that agreement was a strict ban on posting their two-year-old online, a boundary that stood until Bailey’s own hairstylist shared Halo’s photos online without her permission. Now, the woman behind the chair is finally speaking out.

Bailey’s hairstylist, Jehcara Y. Nelson, posted two photos of the toddler online. The first post was a video of the back of Halo’s head with the caption: “Famous baby chronicles: Guess the famous baby,” the Daily Mail reported. The second post showed Halo’s new braids as he looked at the camera with the text: “Second birthday loading.”
After fans clocked that she wasn’t supposed to post Halo, online chaos ensued.
“Why would you ever post someone else’s child without parents’ consent?,” one Instagram user wrote. A second asked, “Why would you post someone’s child bro?” After the backlash, Nelson deleted the posts.
She reportedly acknowledged in a follow-up post how she “did not have consent from Halle to post him, and this was my mistake entirely. I was not aware that sharing his image would conflict with an existing court agreement, and there was absolutely no intent to cross any boundaries or cause harm.”
Nelson clarified Bailey wasn’t “aware that I posted the content. As soon as it was brought to my attention, I took responsibility and removed.” She added: “I sincerely apologize for the oversight and for any concern it caused. I respect Halle and her family deeply.”
Earlier this year, the “Mermaid” actress and DDG, 28, were ordered by the court to stop posting any “photographs, images and/or information” of their son, court documents obtained by PEOPLE revealed.
“For reasons discussed on the record, and with no objection from either party, the Court orders both parties to refrain from posting, uploading, or disseminating on the internet or social media platforms, photographs, images and/or information regarding the minor child or causing any other person to engage in such posting, uploading or dissemination,” read the documents filed by the family division of the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles.
Bailey, 25, and DDG, real name Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., broke up in October 2024. They were together for three years.
