Halle Bailey Reveals She Has ‘Severe Postpartum’ Depression After Giving Birth: ‘I Don’t Know Who I Am’

The ‘Little Mermaid’ star explained via Snapchat that she wanted to share her experience after seeing ‘hurtful’ online comments.

The 24-year-old Little Mermaid star got candid in a recent Snapchat video about her experience, noting that this has “nothing to do” with her son, whom she shares with boyfriend DDG. “And I don’t know if any new moms can relate, but it’s to the point where it’s really bad, and it’s hard for me to be separated from my baby for more than 30 minutes at a time before I start to kind of freak out.” Two months later, Halle delivered a powerful speech at Essence ‘s Black Women in Hollywood Awards in March.
