Darius Jackson Claims Keke Palmer Abused Him, Suggests She Becomes Violent When Drinking

Darius Jackson is firing back at Keke Palmer, demanding a restraining order of his own against the actress.

The fitness instructor filed new court documents this week, arguing that the “Nope” star physically and verbally assaulted him for much of their tumultuous relationship. He even suggested that she may have a drinking problem, claiming Palmer would become aggressive after consuming alcohol. Jackson outlined one violent incident, which allegedly took place in August 2021, where Palmer punched him in the face during a party. He even declared that Palmer’s friend, Lenoria Addison, witnessed the assault and tried to intervene. In text messages included in Jackson’s court documents, Palmer seemingly writes. “I am sorry for hitting you.” During a separate December 2021 altercation, Jackson claims his son’s mother grabbed his arm and demanded him to stay with her instead of going out.

Jackson’s filing comes after Palmer was granted a restraining order against Jackson, asserting that he was actually the aggressor in the relationship. Palmer accused Jackson of having a violent temper, which showed itself on multiple occasions. She also offered evidence in her request, which included still images from a surveillance video that seemingly shows Jackson assaulting her inside her home. Palmer even asked that Jackson stay away from their son, Leodis, after he allegedly got frustrated with the baby. A Judge granted the former talk show host a protective order, which ordered Jackson to remain at least 100 years away from Palmer and their child.

No decision has been made pertaining to Jackson’s court filing.
