Navigating Keke Palmer's legal battle with Darius Jackson
The recent legal battle between Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson has been a complex and emotionally charged saga. In November of the previous year, Keke filed for a restraining order against Jackson, citing allegations of domestic violence. She sought full physical and legal custody of their 10-month-old son, Leo, accusing her ex of multiple instances of physical abuse, harassment, and emotional trauma.
In response, the court granted Keke's requests, issuing a temporary restraining order against Jackson and awarding her temporary sole custody of Leo. The court documents revealed shocking details of the alleged abuse, including incidents of physical violence, property destruction, and threats of self-harm.
Palmer, as retrieved via PEOPLE, narrated that there were “many instances of physical violence, including striking and grabbing me around the neck, descriptions of Darius destroying my personal property, including diaries and prescription eyeglasses, throwing my belongings into the street, throwing my car keys to prevent me from driving away, hitting me in front of our son, spewing profanities about me to our son, threatening to kill himself with a gun if I left him, harassment, and other physical and emotional abuse.”
However, in a counterclaim, Darius Jackson accused Keke, as retrieved via The Los Angeles Times of being the aggressor in their relationship. He alleged verbal and physical abuse, claiming that Keke frequently became aggressive and agitated after consuming alcohol. He stated that Palmer was “repeatedly engaged in abusive conduct” and “acted as the primary aggressor” during their tenure as a couple. Jackson even claimed that his former partner “punched me in the face” at a birthday party in 2021 and “physically attacked me (Jackson) by choking and hitting me” in her Los Angeles home in 2022.
Keke Palmer's recent Instagram post stands as a testament to her positive outlook on her future despite being entangled in a legal battle with her ex.
