Darius Jackson has reportedly denied the abuse allegations made by Keke Palmer and has claimed that he was threatened by Palmer's mother, Sharon Palmer. According to TMZ, Jackson alleges that a recent argument between the former couple, centered around their shared child Leodis, escalated when he arrived to pick up the child but found the infant wasn't present. This disagreement led to Sharon Palmer allegedly threatening Jackson over the phone, including a threat to "put a bullet in his head" and an attempt to take Keke Palmer's phone.
Jackson contends that these events are depicted in surveillance images presented in court, though there is no mention of his response to images allegedly depicting a separate incident of physical abuse from the previous year. A source close to Keke Palmer told TMZ that Sharon Palmer's alleged remarks were driven by concerns for her daughter's well-being at the time. Keke Palmer has obtained a temporary restraining order against Jackson, along with temporary custody of their child, with a hearing scheduled for the next month.
In response to Darius Jackson's claims, TMZ reported an update with comments from a source close to Keke Palmer, indicating that Sharon Palmer's alleged remarks were motivated by concerns for her daughter's well-being at the time. Last week, Sharon Palmer gained attention for a video statement addressing comments made by Darius Jackson's brother, Sarunas, on social media, accusing him of teaching Darius to be abusive.
