‘Nope’ star Keke Palmer alleges physical abuse by ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson, court documents say

Keke Palmer, renowned for her role in the film “Nope,” has made serious allegations of physical and emotional abuse against her former boyfriend, Darius Jackson, as revealed in recent civil court documents. The legal filing was submitted this week to the Los Angeles County Superior Court and included a request for a domestic violence restraining order against Darius Jackson, who is 29 years old. Judge Wendy L. Wilcox issued a temporary order in response, which will remain in effect until a hearing scheduled for December 5.

Attempts to obtain comments from Darius Jackson were made via telephone messages left on a voicemail associated with his listed address in the court documents. Notably, the documents did not specify any attorney representing him.

The legal declaration, filed under Keke Palmer’s real name, Lauren Palmer, detailed instances of both recent and past violence within their relationship, which lasted from June 2021 until it ended in October due to physical and emotional abuse. One harrowing incident mentioned in the declaration occurred on November 5 when Darius Jackson unlawfully entered her residence, physically assaulted her, and forcibly took her phone after she threatened to contact the police. This distressing incident was captured on home surveillance video.

Furthermore, the declaration recounted another incident from February 2022, where Jackson displayed irrational anger at a party when shown a picture of Palmer in a bikini showcasing workout results. At home, she was allegedly thrown to the floor and slapped. The following morning, she claimed to have been grabbed by the neck and body-slammed onto a stairway.

In a deeply troubling revelation, Palmer also detailed an incident involving their infant son, born in February. She asserted that Jackson acted aggressively while changing the baby’s diaper, prompting her intervention, which nearly escalated into a physical struggle. During the diaper change, Jackson allegedly struck her on the head before abruptly leaving.

Keke Palmer’s legal action seeks sole legal and physical custody of their child. As of now, representatives for Keke Palmer have not responded to emails seeking comments on behalf of the star.

Keke Palmer’s career has been characterized by significant achievements, beginning with her breakthrough role in “Akeelah and the Bee” at the age of 9. In addition to her work in film and television, she has graced Broadway stages, released music, hosted talk shows, and authored a book.
