Keke Palmer’s ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson has denied the actress’ allegations of domestic abuse.
Last week, Palmer succeeded in having a temporary restraining order placed against Jackson that also prevents him from having contact with their infant son, citing several instances of abuse against her.

According to TMZ, Jackson denies the allegations and has levied his own claims against Palmer’s mother Sharon, who he alleges told him to “watch out” and threatened to put “a bullet in [his] head.”
The news outlet claims that Jackson allegedly trespassed onto Palmer’s property on November 5 while she was on the phone to her mother, with Sharon then making the threat over the phone.

TMZ have also obtained a screenshot of text messages in the aftermath of the incident that purport to be between the mothers of both Palmer and Jackson.
Jackson’s mother’s text reads: “Hello Sharon. How are you? I have tried not getting involved in my son’s personal business, but I heard that you are going to put a bullet in my son’s head??? Well, then now we have to involve the authorities, because you don’t respect or value yourself and I can see no [sic] my son’s life. You might have to kill us all. I will file a police report now.”

Sharon in turn replied: “Please do not contact me with this ridiculous childish behavior, your son choked his own sister, deal with his anger issues, if he attacks my daughter in her own home where she pays the bills he is trespassing and anything can happen so he should stay away. You should be very ashamed to have raised a man who fights women.”

In Keke Palmer’s petition to the court for a restraining order, she detailed multiple instances of alleged domestic abuse at the hands of Darius Jackson, with whom she shares an eight-month-old son.
In the filing, she says of the above incident which was also captured by her security cameras: “At that point, he lunged at me, grabbing at my neck and face, knocked me backwards over the couch, stole my phone out of my hands, and then ran out of the house.”
Palmer also detailed an incident from 2022 where she alleges: “In the bedroom, he slammed me on the floor and slapped my head from side to side.
“The next morning, he was standing at the bottom of the stairs near the front door, screaming at me as I was coming down the stairs. When I was almost at the bottom of the stairs, he grabbed me around the neck and body slammed me back onto the stairs.”

A court hearing that will determine if the restraining order is made permanent is expected to take place on December 5.
