Keke Palmer granted a temporary restraining order against Darius Daulton Jackson amid abuse allegations.

Hollywood, a realm known for scripted dramas and entertainment,is currently witnessing a real-life saga involving actress and singer Keke Palmer and former NFL running back Darius Jackson.

The once-celebrated couple is now entangled in a legal battle as Palmer seeks full custody of their 8-month-old son, Leodis Andrellton Jackson.

The pair’s relationship began in 2021, reportedly sparked at a party hosted by Diddy and Issa Rae. Despite keeping their romance away from the media, Palmer revealed her pregnancy during her opening monologue on Saturday Night Live in December 2022. The couple welcomed their son, Leo, into the world, creating what seemed like a perfect love story.

However, recent developments have taken a dark turn as Palmer filed for full custody, alleging that Jackson has been physically and emotionally abusive throughout their relationship. Court documents reveal disturbing incidents of violence, including a recent altercation where Jackson allegedly trespassed into Palmer’s home, physically attacked her, and attempted to take their son.

Palmer’s court filings describe Jackson as “unhinged, volatile, and dangerous” and cite instances of physical assault spanning over two years. Security camera video stills have been submitted as evidence, showcasing the alleged abuse.

The actress has also sought a temporary restraining order against Jackson, requesting that he stay at least 100 yards away from her and her family. She has expressed concern for her child’s safety, citing Jackson’s violent and jealous nature.

In a declaration to the court, Palmer stated, “It is because of our son, Leo, that I was finally able to end my relationship with Darius once and for all and escape the ____. Leo is the most important thing in the entire world to me; he needs and deserves to be safe and grow up in an environment free from violence.”

Palmer has not requested child support and is adamant about preventing any form of contact between Jackson and her family. She has asked the court to restrain Jackson from making public comments about her and her family online and to complete a 52-week-long batterer intervention program.

The rift between the couple seemingly began with a public incident where Jackson criticized Palmer’s choice of attire, leading to public shaming. The strain escalated in April 2022 when Jackson accused Palmer of infidelity, resulting in a disruptive argument in a hotel in Santa Barbara.

Fans have overwhelmingly shown support for Palmer, expressing sympathy and solidarity through social media. Many have condemned Jackson’s alleged behavior and applauded Palmer for taking legal action to protect herself and her son.

As the court case unfolds, the public is left to ponder the outcome and voice their opinions on the troubling situation. The emotional toll on the family and the potential impact on young Leo’s life remains a focal point of concern for fans and onlookers alike.
