Keke Palmer has been granted temporary sole legal and physical custody of her 8-month-old son, Leodis, and a restraining order against her ex, Darius Jackson, citing allegations of repeated domestic violence. Jackson is prohibited from having visitation and must stay 100 yards away from Palmer and their son. Screenshots submitted by Palmer show what appears to be security footage of Jackson attacking her on multiple occasions. The filing includes an incident on February 13, 2022, where Jackson allegedly body-slammed Palmer onto stairs. Palmer claims a history of physical violence, property destruction, threats, and emotional abuse throughout their two-year relationship. Jackson allegedly made disturbing comments about their child, causing Palmer to fear for their son’s safety. Despite ending the relationship, Palmer asserts that Jackson remains volatile and dangerous. A hearing on December 5th will determine further action.

Keke Palmer’s mother, Sharon Palmer, has spoken out in defense of her daughter after Keke accused her ex-boyfriend, Darius Jackson, of domestic violence. The Superior Court of Los Angeles granted Keke a temporary restraining order and temporary sole custody of their 8-month-old son, Leo, with no visitation rights for Darius. In an Instagram video, Sharon directed a message to Darius and his brother, Sarunas Jackson, who allegedly called Keke “disgusting” in a deleted tweet. Sharon accused both of acting like sociopaths and expressed her determination not to tolerate the mistreatment of her family. Sarunas responded denying allegations of abuse. A hearing is set for December 5, and until then, Darius is mandated to stay over 100 yards away from Keke and their son. Keke’s filing includes screenshots and details of alleged incidents of violence. Sharon is listed as a witness, along with Keke’s sister. Darius posted a photo with Leo, expressing love for his son. The situation has sparked public attention and discussions on social media.
