Keke Palmer, 30, has taken legal action against Darius Jackson, 29, filing for a restraining order and seeking sole custody of their 8-month-old son, Leodis. Palmer alleges multiple instances of physical and emotional abuse, including an incident on November 5 captured on security footage, where Jackson reportedly trespassed into her home, threatened her, and engaged in violent behavior.
The court documents reveal a pattern of abuse, with Palmer detailing instances of property destruction, harassment, and threats. The former couple’s relationship officially ended in October, citing the sustained abuse as the primary reason.
This legal move follows months of speculation surrounding Palmer and Jackson’s relationship, sparked by Jackson’s controversial comments about Palmer’s attire at an Usher concert. Despite the public scrutiny, Palmer continued to share moments from her life on social media.
Palmer and Jackson, who initially kept their relationship private, faced challenges after the Usher drama, with insiders describing their dynamic as “complicated.” Despite attempts to downplay their status, Palmer announced her pregnancy while hosting Saturday Night Live in December 2022, and their son, Leo, was born two months later.
