KeKe Palmer is opening up about the circumstances that prompted her to seek a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, Darius Jackson. The actress detailed a distressing incident where she feared for her son Leo’s safety, alleging that Jackson got “rough” with the infant during a diaper change.
According to documents obtained by Radar Online, Palmer claimed that “on September 26, 2023, I was concerned for Leo’s safety after Darius became very frustrated with him when Leo was crying while Darius changed his diaper. Darius started getting rough with Leo physically and I stepped in to make sure Darius would not hurt him. Darius was angry and it almost became a tug of war with Leo.”
She continued, “Darius finally let go and Leo was not harmed, but as I was holding Leo trying to comfort him and finish changing his diaper, Darius hit me in the head before storming out of the room.”
She added, “I am making this request for protective orders without providing notice to Darius. I am afraid for my safety and the safety of our child given Darius’ erratic, unpredictable and abusive behavior, including entering my house without my knowledge or permission and physically accosting me.”
In her plea for a protective order, Palmer expressed fear for her safety and the safety of their child due to Darius’ alleged erratic behavior.
“I am fearful of what retaliatory actions Darius may take against me, including harming or taking our son away, if I give him notice of my request for protection. I am asking the Court Order a Domestic Violence Restraining Order, including custody orders, protecting me and our son, Leo, from further harm,” she said.
Keke, who claimed Jackson had been physically abusive to her during their two-year relationship, cited instances of body-slamming and neck-grabbing. RadarOnline.com obtained screenshots from security footage that served as evidence in her restraining order request.
